Thanks 79v ... this is a confirmed team list I take it.

I'd expect Diggers to get a fair old run at CHB, not sure if Kouta will be up to a full game there. Go Eddie! Betts that is.

Apart from drifting down late in the quarter, ala Whitnall, Kouta won't spend a second in the back half...Its like a competition to see where they can name a player in the least likely position these days.

Gee when you look at who is named as emergencies and who is on the bench, some of whom were starters last year just shows how far we have come and also the competition for spots.

Welcome 79V good to see you back on line.

Interesting that they left Karl out with T-bird missing. Pagan obviously has alot of faith in Digby.

Spot on BlueMark, great to see that competition for spots this season is hot.

best starting spot for Kouta....stay with the other group for centre clearances
love campo on a HFF
now that lance is shaping up, how much better do we look with archie in a pocket
betts on the bench adds something
mcgrath will go off this year
phew I am toey

A little disappointed that Karl hasn't got a run. Not sure whether to read more into his non-selection; whether he is really out of favour in Denis' eyes.

Well he is on the emergencies so i suppose he is knocking on the door

karl needs to be blowing down the door

who knows, we might see one or more of the three emergencies get up

Interestingly Carrazzo has been preferred to Wiggins which is a testament to how hard Carrazzo has worked over the ssummer and how well he has played in the wizzer cup.

"We'll certainly pick Jarrad, he played in the VFL last week and did well," he said.
