* Street has been mentioned on Radio as the other likely omission.
* Ray; another chance? Surely not.
Fingers crossed that Cross plays. If he doesn't, Faulkner will surely come into the side. Ray MIGHT be safe for another week if Cross plays due to the fact that Williams & Harbrow have been brought in.
However, I would still personally drop Ray for Faulkner.
Williams, Harbrow & Faulkner for Street, Power & Ray would seem logical.
Williams replaces Street who really was useless last week. Williams will strengthen the backline up, allowing Hargrave or Morris to play on somebody of their own size. I think Williams would be able to hold up well against a Pattison type. Harbrow adds some much needed flair. Some real excitement, flashy material with extreme pace AND pressure. Faulkner replacing Ray would be handy too as I think it makes us more versatile (Faulkner can play wing/forward as opposed to Ray being restricted to a wing) and adds that hard edge we've also been lacking.
Williams replaces Street who really was useless last week.
Street wasn't the only Ruckman that was useless, did you notice that between Street, Darcy and Minson, not one mark between them. Overall we won the hitouts but thats about all.
FFC: Established 1883
Premierships: AFL 1954, 2016 VFA - 1898,99,1900, 1908, 1913, 1919-20, 1923-24, VFL: 2014, 2016 . Champions of Victoria 1924. AFLW - 2018.
Given that Harbrow debuted in the VFL seniors last week and the AFL this week it really is a surprise
But it does suggest that he was not selected in the VFL seniors for Week 1 due to us only being allowed 10 players in the VFL squad
As we walked around Chirnside park in the 1st quarter last week, Harbrow kicked the first 2 Werribee goals. I passed the major sponsor who I know and straight away asked why he hadn't played last week. He just shrugged his shoulders.
Just proir to the Draft FootyGoss' reviewed each state's most likely selections and had Harbrow at No 9 from Victoria, and said the following;
9. Jarrad Harbrow – Murray Bushrangers
Can play as an inside or outside midfielder. Greatest assets are pace, kicking and goal sense. Didn’t have an extremely impressive championships campaign or draft camp but goalkicking midfielders can be invaluable. Should be selected somewhere after pick 25.
His progress so far suggests they weren't far wrong.
Good luck to both Jarrad and Tommy tomorrow night

Exciting isn't it. Williams to Schultz I would think.
Thats one of the matchups I saw as being likely, but I guess Polak is not out of the question either, but you'd think Richo would be too experienced for him. But then its not beyond the realms of possibility that he might be tried forward
