I think Robbo will play, does well vs Richmond usually....player we will miss is Judd, he sparked us in the final and I'm not sure we can win without him.
Bell got subbed off so I reckon he will be an out....also think Scotland will play.

Cripps might have to wait another week but would expect Graham to be in the team.

Just my opinion but Bell should continue to play - Graham has to play. Needs AFL game time that's for sure. Scotland seemed very underdone but hopefully is better hence he's in my squad.

We have far too many underdone players and I feel we'll be playing catchup all year and in fact may never really catchup to the highest level required.

I'm a bit over some of our blokes and just rehashing the same team, rolling out the same blokes in the same positions each week. It isn't really working.

Agreed Pratty but the options are very limited with our wonderful list... Maybe sticking Levi in the square is the only option we have of stretching our limited big man resources because the Tigers will play three tall forwards to stretch us and Henderson can't be everywhere.

I was McInnes biggest fan but his footy post his big knee has been totally bereft of confident and he is now making the simple stuff look very hard.  Heck, in his first few games he held down CHB and even went forward against the Pies to provide a making option across half forward.  Seriously, what has happened to this bloke?

I agree on Bell but the fact he was subbed out just had me thinking Mick wasnt overly happy with him..
Also agree on rehashing the team, Id' rather see players like Casboult and Rowe play in the KP Forward spots and have a more traditional structure, something we have never had for while, if they cant cut it then we dont have any reservations about cutting them at seasons end..

Juddy is so close, could he be the sub this week, bring him on half way through the  third quarter and let him go for it. ( I know you run the risk that he might be used in the first fire minutes!)

We'd be better served by getting a full game into either Menzel, Cripps, Graham or Buckley than risking Judd.

Coach has failed to instill confidence?

If the coach had no confidence he wouldn't have been listed

Do we have a media blackout? Probably not a bad thing.
