Looking forward to it but disappointed that Wiley is coaching. Better to look to the future and give one of the younger guys the experience.
Wiley can always oversee and give advice.

Anyway, all the best to the Malthouse family. Fingers crossed.

..masten is average, fact he was picked at three makes him a dud, right..?..

....this pre season comp is a genuine training run, nothing up for grabs, I Reckon a few coaches will let their subs get some defiance, and play mostly kids and fringe players.. ..only desperate clubs will be running their stars early and/or using players not 100%..

I'll be watching to get a look at some of our younger players but as always all I really want from these games is zero injuries.

Great inside Jimmae, thanks
Minor change but I would switch Jaksch with Rowe. I would like to see what Jaksch can do offensively further up the ground.
I would switch Simmo & Menzal with Dick and Johnson/Walsh. No need for either of them to play. Really looking foward to see this line-up.

I'd prefer to stick with the final 26 as is SB, as plenty of these youngsters will be rotated out and/or through the bench/subs in the remaining 3 games.

Rainbow Gowers and Dick are the players I'll be watching for.
I reckon they have a lot of potential.

Interesting Gibbs is not playing & did not play last week . Is he injured as well ?

He was smashing it on the track prior to this, so I suspect they're just holding him back a bit.

great squad and good to see the young uns playing - looking forward to seeing all of our recruits rookies and young players - 3 nab cup games so why would you play all the guns in feb when season starts april - no need for guns to play all 3 nab cup games

of course if we lose expecting Armageddon in here late Friday night - just a practice match enjoy what it is

PS All the best for Malthouse family

Isn't Walsh a Mandurah boy? I think he will play

I don't rate him. Played less than 10 really good games in over 100, most of them in the early part of last year. As soon as he received some attention he went back to his old ways.

SPUD.
