Great to see Etan East get through the reserves trial he looks to be on track to get back to league footy after so long out . .

Thomas not being able to Play the first two rounds really hurt us.

HES our most important player. Excellent contested mark up front and competes well as a second ruck.

I assume Matz will play instead.

Round 1 side prediction
F- Matz Grace Anzac
HF- Monaghan Rosenzweig* Reed
C- Saunders* Chisholm Pudney
HB- Fahey* Kitschke Whitlum
B- Mohail Kendall Posthuma
1R- Annand Presbury Grant
Int- Barry Shaw McCarty* Tattoli

Fair selections there...
Reed isn't finding the ball enough IMO, maybe Ralph gets a nod as the small fwd?
Think there's a spot for Iles, but that back six looks decent. Fahey is going to be very decent as the defensive distributor.
Brinn Little WILL play round one; I would assume ressies.

Beau may be the only player unavailable in round one. But he is also probably our most important player.
Not sure on Tomkinson... is he still around?

I think Reed will play. Not always about touches in that role. Positioning and structure are crucial. His defensive pressure in the forward line is crucial to keep the ball locked in and preventing rebound attacks which has been a problem in the past. He will benefit statistically once we start playing consistent winning football. I rate the kid.

Based on some of the players not in the team, it looks good. There appears that we have some depth this year. Looking forward to 2 weeks time when the real stuff starts. 2 very winnable games in the first 2 weeks. 2-0 would be a very nice way to start the season.

I believe Tomkinson is injured not sure what it is
I think Reed starts in Round 1 and apart from Thommo and recruit Cornolo who hasnt been seen
we should at full strength .

Tomkinson had some minor surgery on his ankle in the pre-season.

Should be back Rd3-4
