Reckon our little blokes up forward could potentially cut up their ultra tall back line (and not for the first time) if they re on their game.

Bell unlucky to miss out, but I am reluctant to go without a key position option on the bench. Too many memories of Hendo/Waite/Jamo or a ruckman off before half time injured with no KP alternatives.

Agro, I remember that game v Geelong down at Geelong. I must be getting old.

Premiers?

What time do teams come out?? F'ing channel 7

FORMER Port Adelaide defender Troy Chaplin will play his first game for Richmond in Thursday night's blockbuster clash with Carlton at the MCG.

Chaplin is the only new player named in either line-up, with first-round draft pick Nick Vlastuin and ex-Adelaide half-forward Chris Knights among the Tigers' emergencies.

New Blues coach Mick Malthouse and his fellow selectors have named a strong and experienced team.

Michael Jamison and Lachie Henderson fill the key defensive posts, and they are set to take the big jobs on Richmond forwards Jack Riewoldt and Ty Vickery.

Carlton has named big men Levi Casboult and Shaun Hampson in attack, with Matthew Kreuzer in the ruck.

Chris Judd has been picked on a half-forward flank, while new skipper Marc Murphy is among an impressive onball brigade.

Tom Bell, Jeremy Laidler and Sam Rowe are the Blues' emergencies.

Neither side had many players unavailable through injuries.

Carlton could not pick Jarrad Waite (back), while Richmond has left out defender Dylan Grimes and midfielder Nathan Foley, who have both had interrupted pre-seasons.

Nup, @#$%&! it.

Like the side. Like the surprises. Bold.

None of this test these unblooded players in games against GWS that essentially prove @#$%&! all. Round 1, 75k+, your spot in the side to earn, Joseph and Bootsma. Go for it. Prove yourself.

At the end of the game, if we're saying to ourselves "if only Bell and Laidler had played, we'd have won", we're @#$%&! kidding ourselves as to our expectations and how we view the side.

Go Blues.

Same as those posts above, I can't understand how Joseph gets a game before Bell and while I like the look of young Bootsma I find it hard to have him in Front of Laidler who we missed badly last season.
