Don't know what Chesser has done to get a game
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

A few surprises for me....

Derksen missing.
Two rucks...no O'Keefe
Moir gets a game despite not showing a lot in the practice games.
Fog holds his spot...defensive aspect?

Chesser wasn't too bad that second practice game...that's probably won him a spot.

So that's seven players wearing the CFC monogram for the first time and two making their AFL debuts.

I was a little surprised at Fog getting a game but I understand that Vossy likes the defensive pressure that he applies.

I'm pleased to see Chesser get a game.  He was very good against Geelong and has genuine foot speed that will shock a few Swans.

I'm pretty happy with that combination.  I think we'll cover the Swans fairly well and they could well struggle with our new structures.

And I got 20 out of the 23  :)

That's a good effort.
I think Gointocarlton did pretty well with his picks too.

We just had 2 wins in meaningless games against last years finalists, but we couldn’t have done this if they hadn’t a degree of ‘gel-ing’. They are a better foundation than we realise I reckon. for one am very excited about tomorrow night .The MC has backed the recruiters. 7 newbies mean things will change.

I had a couple of cracks as I didnt know Evans was injured and thought Fog was. I think I got 22 out 23 the 2nd time as opposed to 20 out of 23 the first time (although not quite "as named" in position which we all know they wont line up like that). I thought Derksen was unlucky, not even an emergency. Moir was very lucky and needs to extract the digit come the real stuff.
Two rucks was always obvious to me but for different reasons to Voss probably. I just reckon Pitto cant be trusted to last solo.

I reckon Derksen is a bit stiff. He'll be playing before much longer.

Boyd appears back in calculations after a year where he appeared forgotten.

Fog is a bit lucky: Evans' injury probably sealed his spot, although Byrne could take it away soon.

I think Fogarty is in to try and negate Blakey
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

We've gone with three KPDs, two KPFs (one a little on the small side) and two rucks and Sydney has three KPDs, three KPFs and one ruck.  I guess Cripps gives us an extra tall if he rests forward.

It would be interesting to see the average heights of the two teams.  I suspect that Sydney would be taller.
