Obviously no Walsh is massive and we will miss Jones - to what extent remains to be seen.
Having said that though, a returning Charlie a fit (rather than fat Zac W who didn't even play round 1) and additions on Cerra and Hewett, you could suggest we'll be fielding a stronger team than round 1 last year.
Media will write us off and almost nobody will tip us, but we're a massive chance I reckon.

16 possessions in the 1st quarter alone and 39 for the match.

An unscathed Docherty has put his hand up for selection in round 1 in 2 weeks time.
Time enough for him to get even fitter and stronger.

We could use another tall (apparently)

Flowering huge bonus, if available, let alone firing.

I know it sounds strange, but I think Durdin will be a reasonably big loss for us if he doesn’t come up.

Nah. I want Richmond kicking woefully, missing targets, dropping marks, and us winning by 125pts.

Just give us the cup.

Didn’t see the game but had the impression setterfield has not impressed on the wing whereas there are signs that lob is doing well - interested in why you have chosen setters? (And lob not made the emergencies)

Yep, that's the only change to make

Also, will Doc be okay. Big ask to have him step up to AFL after one game in VFL.

Based on how we’ve lined up over the last two weeks, and assuming there’s no further injury curveballs, I reckon round 1 will be-

B: Newman OMac McGovern
HB: Saad Weitering Williams
C: Setterfield Cripps LOB
HF: Fisher Charlie SOJ
F: Owies Harry Durdin

R: Pittonet Hewitt Cerra

Inter: Kennedy, Martin, TDK, Williamson
Sub: Plowman

I’m assuming Doc will need a longer conditioning block before he is ready to play AFL, otherwise he replaces Williamson.

Plowman is not a bad option as sub because he can play a few different roles. Kemp (if fit?) is another sub contender for the same reason.

It will be interesting to see if Charlie, SOJ & TDK all play. Arguably, it upsets the team balance having them all in. One of them might make way for a running player (E. Curnow, if fit?). TDK would be most likely to miss of that trio, unless Charlie or SOJ are still sore.

Martin & Newman start the season on thin ice IMO. They would want to play well early to hold their spot in the team as we get Stocker, Honey & Walsh back, plus others (eg. E.Curnow, Carroll, Dow, Fogarty, Motlop, Philp, Newnes & Boyd) pushing for selection.

LOB & Setterfield are not perfect footballers but they are earning their keep at the moment. Both will play round 1. But, like Newman & Martin, their place in the team will come under fierce scrutiny if they don’t produce in the early rounds.

Not sure Doc plays round 1. May not be quite ready.
LOB all but certain to play. Can't see Plow getting a game even as sub. They may be managing training loads but didn't play first practice match and only played a quarter or so of this one.

Nah , not strange at all " Sue " . Durdin is a deadset crumbing forward pocket goal sneak . The sort of player that makes an opponent nervous . Really good up and coming young player . If this kid " Clicks " he will compliment Harry and Charles beautifully . Exactly what we need , so yeah , i get what you are saying Sue .

Don't know how anyone who watched last nights game could pick a first round side without LOB. He was among our best.

Thought about this later, would swap OBrien in for Setterfield. Would put Newman in for Doc if he isnt ready.

Just keep him at TDK’s feet there’ll be plenty of crumbs available.
