He should be playing before smith
I just donât see our forward line scoring enough points.
If Stewart & Henry play, Geelong will control our forward line.
I can see us starting 0-3.

Garry Rohan not playing. Grigg (asst coach) ruled him out last night in the post match presser.
I think Guelfi will get the nod ahead of nick martin or Tex given his more established contest and pressure up forward.
De Koning and Jones would be a great match up, Sam looked great last night.
pack up the thread innit
Interesting listening to The Sash Podcast from yesterday, and one of the guys (Mert?) was pretty certain that Baldwin would get a Rd.1 game, and Jones would be the player to miss.
Mert was also quite bullish about Francisâ pre season.
Absolutely ripping show as Rob is a natural as a presenter.
Theyâve shot to my No.1 position of Ess Podcasts (sorry Scott) !
Doesnât matter who we put out on the park we are gonna win.
Our midfield will run rings around thereâs now
We need to ask the afl for an exemption to play 30 guys round 1.
Itâs a good point. Especially if Duncan and Menegola donât play.

a forwardline of smith, shiel, snelling. teams will not no fear until they have faced that beast of a forwardline 
going to be literally the whitest forwardline possible in both skin colour and just plain blergh.
I can see us starting 0-23
Thatâs bloody inaccurate for a first quarter
Sack the goal kicking coach
the way we like to bomb it Henry and Stewart will have a field day intercepting
Those players wouldnât have an issue scoring if the ball comes in clean and not above their heads
