Round One Lineup is looking like this to me:

[understudy]

B: Ben Johnson, Simon Prestigiacomo, Shane Wakelin
HB: Ryan Lonie James Clement, Glenn Freeborn
C: Shane Woewodin, Mark McGough, Tarkyn Lockyer
HF: Rupert Betheras Anthony Rocca, Alan Didak
F: Leon Davis, Chris Tarrant, Jarrod Molloy
FL:, Steven McKee, Nathan Buckley, Heath Scotland
INT: Josh Fraser, Shane O'Bree,
Andrew Williams Matthew Lokan
Emerg: Rhyce Shaw Ben Kinnear Richard Cole

Return after suspension swapping with bolded players:
Scott Burns Paul Licuria Jason Cloke

This lineup is assuming Johno and Freeza come up from injury. We are scrapping the bottom of the barrell with Kinnear and Cole as emergencies but that¡¦s all we have, really need the suspended players back as it will make a huge difference.
Lokan is included for that bit of height we need without clokey and have basically kicked him in preference to Kinnear who doesn¡¦t deserve a game imo.
Shaw has impressed me so he is unlucky to miss out but he will get his chance.
Josh is now our second string ruckmen ¡V wont be getting much game time in my opinion unless he lifts his game or if things start going bad and we need to change our forward set up. In my opinion we will change our forward structure a bit with Molloy taking over Fraser¡¦s spot from last year. Joshies career therefore is at a bit of a crossroads in my opinion.
I think williams will be picked ¡V but got to admit his kicking I have found very disappointing and think he will struggle in this regard ¡V we have got a dud I feel ƒ¼ and he will drop out of the best 22.
Obree is also shitting me with his form, especially his kicking so he should sit on the bench imo and earn his spot in the starting line up.

VFL

B: Luke Mullins, Tristen Walker, Steven Eichner
HB: Jason Roe Luke Shackleton, Ben Kinnear,
C: Tom Hooker Richard Cole, Rhyce Shaw
HF: Dane Swan, Mark Richardson, Bowman Nixon
F: David King, Cameron Cloke, Nicholas Maxwell
FL: Guy Richards, Brodie Holland
INT: Justin Crow

Indefinite
Tom Davidson.

That is Williams Betheras and Lokan out when Cloke Burns and Lica return.

[Culprit]

Leave Josh out on Current form.

Williams gets better as he adjust to team play and can play either end and has a good leap. At the moment he would be in the starting line up with the way Malthouse has been playing him.

Shaw on form will come in, but this is not the real stuff. Time will tell.

Have they not served their suspensions or is it only for the home and away season.

GF/Finals suspensions only apply to the season proper I think.

Yes Cloke misses round 1 as does Lica and Burns.

Also either Lica or Burns also misses round 2 - think it is Burns - can someone confirm?

[carlabuckley_05]

burns it is

[Magpie Mark]

Don't be too quick to drop Lokan. He is just the player that MM likes and he has shown a bit in the two games so far.

And I reckon Rhyce Shaw will get a game.

Is it just me or are there always guys who make the round 1 team that seem to disappear later (Cam Venables anyone????)

[THE D.O.C.]

how could u say drop rupert and josh from the side they r great players .... shaw has had 2 good pre season games and every one thinks he is a gun, rupert basically won us the game against port - and josh has 1 or 2 bad games and u pricks get on his back , get a life and support the boys ,so we can win the flag....... robbo and the doc

[Pies Premiers 2003]
