McInerney going ok for the Swans.

Apparently Bonar suffered a hamstring complaint in the North game.

That's one way to get me to run away at a speed of knots given his injury history.

Adelaide midfielder Ned McHenry came from the ground during the 3rd Qtr in the under 23 trial game against Port Adelaide at Thebarton Oval, he did not return with a suspected back related hamstring issue.
McHenry has been in the mix as a Round 1 option under new coach Matthew Nicks, he recorded 6 Disposals & 5 Tackles from 42% TOG last week against Melbourne in the Marsh Community Series.
Adelaide will likely provide an update on McHenry in the coming days.

Any Carlton fans have any thoughts on Williamson’s JS? Doesn’t seem to be an amazing scorer but worth a def bench spot if he has good JS.

 

[lipsunited]

Thoughts on polson?

I don't think they can play all of Doch/Simmo/Newman/Williamson in DEF as that would make them too small, one has to be push up to the wing which I was hoping to see but didn't eventuate. They obviously rate him and he even took a few kick ins, so I'm hoping to see more in their 2nd game. Marchbank & Plowman both missed that game.

Yes, he did get some kick ins which was good to see.

The Blues also have SPS to come back who was touted to played more HB this season again by the coach. I also wonder whether there is a spot for all of them. However, 83% TOG was promising (although only scored 52)

Good to learn that my 'eyes' haven't deserted me...yet.

Wow, the fwd rookies look baaaaaaad.

@THCLT

Thanks Thanh for producing that and sharing , greatly appreciated.

Struggling to find even 8 startable for the bench let alone any onfield (aside from Rowell)

 

[Herbie66]

What's the chance we get all of Brander , Gould , Greaves , Watson & Williams all named Round 1 ?

Add in Ash & BZT + Docherty.

 

[Herbie66]

Thanks THCLT.

Hill & Rankine DNP
King F8 for the season
Cameron & Xerri , questionable even if they are named Round 1.
Budarick ?

 

[freowho]

I actually get paid if I choose Chad Warner!

 

[BlueNwhiteHoops]

I am very suspect on Rankine & King as forward rookies, one of the reasons I am leaning towards a value forward line and only taking 2 rookies there!

 

[Bontempele]

These rookies look horrible

 

[GrainFedBeef]

These rookies look horrible

Danger through the heart is when those who scored well in marsh cup are not even picked round 1.

 

[Herbie66]

Don't mind :

Ash , BZT + 3 from Brander , Gould , Greaves , McLennan , Watson , Williams

Rowell ✓ , Pickett ✓ + Anderson , So Long , Green & McInerney/Budarick

Comden

Hill + 3 from Cameron , King , Rankine , Xerri

hopefully gets

1-2-5 (including Roberton)
5-0-6
2-0-1
2-2-4

= 10-4-16
