    Is Wallis fit? Surely gets a squad spot over Gowers or Honeychurch

    Fair way of it
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Anyone bullish going into this? That backline scares me.

    Backline won't be a problem it has players that apply pressure and that's where it will be won. High pressure acts with greater numbers around the ball. It's a 50/50 game which is always interesting.

    Squad and positions look quite makeshift to me. I'm not confident but presumably they're picked on form so we'll see...

    What’s the opposite of bullish?
    I’m that
    Park that car
    Drop that phone
    Sleep on the floor
    Dream about me

    Re: Round 1 side

    Named positions for both squads are taking the piss, but we'd better make a habit of winning first use and minimise handing it back or else that backline's going to get eaten.

    That means no aimless bombs forward. Let's see ...

    What is the most amount of intercept marks taken in a game?

    Might back Nick Haynes to break this number.

    I think Wood may have some influence over that.

    Billy Gowers has been told he will be playing Sunday.

    Another In Bevo We Trust decision because I haven't seen the appeal thus far.

    I wonder if that means Dickson won't play?

    You'd have to assume so.
    Seems strange as I didn't think Gowers was overly impressive during JLT.

    Gowers must meet the 'good citizen' brief ... couldn't have been less impressed by his effort against Collingwood, but the MC must've seen something in his 2 kicks that I didn't.

    #inbevowetrust and all that... but seriously doubting why I've forked out a few hundred $$'s to head up to Canberra as I feel I'll be facepalming for most of the game.

    Apparently Bevo has a high opinion of Gowers and there was some robust discussion with Dalrymple on rookie listing him.

    Have you got something else planned up there other than the football? A visit to the National Gallery? A cycle around Lake Burley Griffin? A tour of Parliament House? I have a feeling in the pit of my stomach that you might need something else to look forward to...
    Wake me up when we get to heaven, let me sleep if we're going to hell

    Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath

    And we all found heaven - 2016 Premiers!
