    Will miss JJ early on. Need his run if half back.

    Hasn’t Wallis shown enough to have that small, goal kicking forward role locked away? He isn’t quick but has shown himself to be very effective in the f50. I guess Lipinski is a bit one paced but overall our leg speed is ok. JJ is super quick but it didn’t help him break tags last year...

    AFL site also has Greene on the bench, not sure which is more accurate, I assume the club site is.

    Not impressed leaving Dickson and Cavarra out frankly.

    I would say the AFL site is wrong, probably couldn't understand that we are going 1 player short.

    They also noted this:
    Notable absentees: Liam Picken, Lin Jong, Roarke Smith
    Apparently Roarke Smith is a more notable absentee than JJ or Boyd?

    If they aren't going to play round 1 - and it seems pretty clear that Dickson never was and Cavarra hasn't done enough, well, what's the point.

    I'm looking forward to attending another game in Ballarat plus it's a strong team we have selected. The weather should be OK for the game as well

    I suppose I'm used to the pattern of previous years where we get to see more players get a shot. Cararra seems like the kind of player who we lack compared to Hayes who doesn't seem to offer anything we don't already have.

    Dickson I suppose I just forgot he was on a modified program. and probably isn't fit.

    Remember with Hayes he's come through the VFL side so he's probably further ahead in terms of adapting to our style and what's required of him in whatever role he has. Cavarra might need some time to nail down the right role.

    I'll be in Ballarat for the day and would like to catch at least half of the game, but with 2 x boys under 5 in tow I may need to depart quickly and don't want it to be impossible to get them into the car and heading back to Melb.. thoughts?
    There's parking in the streets near the ground mate. I'll be there, let's catch up.

    I wonder if we will play Schache, Trengove and English in the same team in the season proper?

    I like Wallis resting forward, but I want a forward that plays forward not forward mid wing. How do you build continuity down there? Give me Dickson, Greene and potentially Cavarra( why not play him in JLT?) any day forward over Dunkley Wallis Hayes Linpinksi. Our midfield is deep enough now Libba is back surely we can afford to play Schache and a smaller type permanently down there. Gowers can even go midfield if we are so desperate for flexibility.

    Don't mind that we're going in with a settled side, even if that means a few players we would have hoped to see don't feature. Let's get some continuity in the early part of the year and build.

    Hoped Lipinski would hold a spot but didn't watch last week and maybe he's just outside of our best team at the moment.

    It looks a strong enough side and with the addition of Schache it has a better avenue towards goal than last week.

    The Lachlan Young addition is an interesting one, I mentioned him as someone to watch a few weeks back but I didn't think he would force his way onto an extended bench especially at the expense of Dickson, Greene, Lipinski and Cavarra. He's obviously been impressive throughout the summer.

    I'm fascinated to see how the forward line functions with Gowers, Lloyd, Schache, Wallis and Bontempelli. If we can get this right it should cause opposition teams some problems.
