Go Blue Boys

I expect to see Poulson, Fisher, McKay Sheehan Pickett Sumner Smedts and Cuningham play this week to see what they are made of.

If they don't show signs that they are ready to play senior footy, then others will take their place in the next 2 hit outs as the team takes shape up for round 1.

Cripps will be rested. Philips and Byrne are out injured.

How many on the bench this week? 6?

_________________
Everyone looks good in Navy Blue

Yes 6... with unlimited interchange

Looking forward to new high tackle interpretation - sick of the tackler being penalised when they slip up the arm of a player when he shrugs or arm lifts

A mix of experience and new recruits have been named in the Blues’ side ahead of their first hit-out in the JLT Community Series against Melbourne on Saturday at Casey Fields.

Captain Marc Murphy and reigning John Nicholls Medallist Sam Docherty have both been named, while veterans Kade Simpson, Bryce Gibbs and Dale Thomas have both been included in the Blues’ 29-man squad to face the Demons.

New recruits including Caleb Marchbank, Billie Smedts, Jarrod Pickett and Rhys Palmer look set to pull on the navy blue guernsey for the first time since arriving at Ikon Park. Meanwhile, exciting first-year players Zac Fisher, Kym Lebois, Cameron Polson have also all been named in the Blues’ squad

The squad will be whittled down to a final playing list of 26 an hour and a half before the first bounce.

Pretty sure its 8 players on the bench for the first two games is it not?
Most teams choose to only use 6 at a time tho

Hopefully a lot of newbies play - exciting to see

Disappointed Alex Silvagni isn't playing - look forward to him Rowe and white combining in the backline to give it back to the opposition with alacrity

No Boekhorst or Jaksch. Down the pecking order it seems.
