^Thanks.

Still a small chance Reid, Witts or even De Goey and Freeman could be available for round 1 should they play a full game though it appears unlikely they will factor into calculations now.

Frost and Brown should be adequate kp defenders for Brisbane with Gault and White probable ruck support for Grundy.

I'd have Kennedy, Crisp and Karnezis all ahead of Broomhead at this stage.

He's been underwhelming this preseason to date IMHO so will need a good showing against the dogs to be considered a good bet for round 1.

I reckon Oxley, Ramsay and Karnezis will miss out.

As talented as he is, PK just does not seem to be fit enough to play senior footy.

On form alone, Broomhead should miss, but I suspect his great form at the end of last season will work in his favour. It may be that he's been played in a different position. He's a class act, so I'd be happy for him to keep his spot.

It's pretty clear that De Goey and Freeman will play VFL before they play AFL. That's fine by me. Let them dominate at VFL and thereby force their way into the seniors.

A forward line with the 3 talls of Cloke, White and Gault may just make all the difference to our poor forward structure over the last couple of years. Throw in Fasolo, Elliott and Broomhead/Blair, then it's starting to look very potent. I like it.

I'd rather Karnezis play and see if he can put his hand up for round 1 with a impressive display.

He got the job done in NAB1 and like Fasolo his role across half forward often delivers either chocolates or boiled lollies.

He was poor last week and like Fasolo needs to find another way to get into the game and gather 15+ possessions on days the goals aren't flowing.

I have not included certain players on the basis that I do not think they will be 'ready' in time for round one but will or may push there way in sooner rather than later.

HB: Ramsay, Langdon, Toovey
C: Sidebottom, Greenwood, Varcoe
HF: Goldsack, White, Fasolo
F: Elliot, Cloke, Gault
R: Grundy, Pendlebury, Adams

Int: Swan, Crisp, Blair, Karnezis

Emerg: J. Thomas, De Goey, Witts

Reid, Seed, Freeman, Kennedy and the emergencies knocking at the door

I would like Oxley in there somewhere. Without Oxley, Langdon is our sole good kicking backman.
