I think Clem Smith can beat Relton Roberts scores of 13 and 15. He surely will score atleast 19.
Clem will do ok. He is no Relton Roberts.
Maybe more JKH scoring from last season.
He just needs to adjust to the tempo. My guess now I seen the 22 and 3 emergencies is he will be most likely starting sub.
I really like him but I could see in bit of NAB Cup I saw he had not quite adjusted to change in tempo from WAFL stuff and junior footy.
Looking forward to seeing him and Jaksch play their first games for us.

Yeah and Tuohy is named as Centre Half Back so take the naming of that team positionally with a grain of salt.

Armfield regularly used to be named Centre Half Forward in recent years....lol
LOL at Tuohy CHB! Nice to know Carlton's team sheets will be an absolute p*ss-take this year!

Don't think I am interested in Smith - especially considering I will possibly lack internet tomorrow night before the game and there is a good chance the servers will crash and burn.

Think I will stick with Cockatoo - expensive, but he probably has better js, maybe :rolleyes:

So gents I've been on Taylor Hunt for a while, what does the team line up say about his position?

Regarding Smith, the question you should ask yourself: were you going to pick him before he was named? If not, suggest we keep calm and trust our rookie research.

I wouldn't take anything from the team sheets.
Last year first round.
Fyfe - Forward Flank
Wingard - Midfield
Gray - Forward
Gibbs - Forward
Danger - Forward
Porplyzia - Midfeild
Heppel - Defence
Ziebell - Midfeild
Watts - Centre
Geary - Centre

I've made a promise not to swap out Rockcliff even if he is named full forward. However if he is named mid, I will be that much happier.

Not a thing, unless you also believe Vlastuin is playing CHB!

it's a just a list of names, nothing positional should be read into it, they just do it in that format for ease of reading.

Well Mcintosh is locked in. Smith isn't gonna score well, but might need to get him in if there's no one else. Could be a bit of chaos tomorrow night from the teams till the start of the game!

Shame about no Lambert.
No chaos, rolling lockout.

Kristian Jaksch is he worth a punt? Wasn't on my radar but that means very little.

Very wise words my friend, but there is a saying which is hard to ignore:

'a rookie in a named team is worth more than 2 in the bush'...

What if u need 5 rookies, and 5 are named + Smith (who is not sub).

Do u get Smith? Or hope the other guys aren't sub? What if they have worse JS? Only got 1 hour to decide that selection.

Also do we start Mcintosh or hope Saad isn't sub?

Is Mcintosh filling in for an injured player atm? do any experts think he will keep his spot for long?
