      Steve King said today that Smith and Dickson are inline to play first round. I guess they have a big opportunity tomorrow to show they have earnt a spot.

        I'm of the view Smith would have to do a lot wrong not to play round 1, I think he's earned his place based on his preseason form.

        Dickson would have to have a big game I would have thought.

          Agree with that, Smith is a lock. Dickson is definitely around the mark, and in my view whether Cooney can get up and play or not may in some way impact on Dickson getting a game.
          Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

            How is Roughead any better equipped to go with them than Cordy?

            Re Dickson I reckon he'll play as the sub round 1.
            I should leave it alone but you're not right

              It doesn't make sense to me that we would have a player almost limited to a forward role as our sub.

                  No idea at present, but I would like a more flexible player picked as the sub.

                    From what I have seen Roughhead is more mobile than Cordy.

                      Dunno, thought they were equally good. Skinner could be a good sub. A good chaser.

                        Has a stronger body which will be needed against the West Coast duo. Cordy I think still gets pushed around a bit and needs to build core strength.

                          But I think Cordy has a lot better reach.
                          Natanui isnt exactly a body on body ruck, he is a leaper.
                          Would be harder to reach over Cordy than Roughy.

                            Disagree with this, Roughys leap and reach are extremely good, and a lot better than Cordy at this stage.

                              I agree cordy is just a little bit more agile and quicker by a small margin. Leap wise is pretty even and strength wise roughead without a doubt. Would play all 3 regardless think they offer a bit against west coast with there talls

                              Back on track this game against cats is only on sen radio correct?
