Those 5 plus Wright, Anderson & Garner are in our best 22 IMO.


Reading my mind? I would have had Wright and Anderson in, perhaps not Garner though.

I rate Garner immensely. If he gets his body right, lookout.
He's extremely hard to match up on, plays tall and is good when the ball hits the ground plus he's got a bit of shit in him.

Only positive is most of them would have got a good load* into them before the injuries.

Mason Wood - hamstring injury at training Friday
Out for 6-8 weeks
I can't recall a worse run with injuries at Arden St than the last 18 months.

Was considering heading down to Arden street today for a look at the game. Not a chance, it's a sell out!

Looks like plenty of room still there, surely not a sell out?

Was advertised as a lock out a couple of days after the fixture was announced. Pretty sub standard facilities there so probably has to be capped at a figure that the ground can handle

The Roos are quite sensibly not allowing Hawthorn supporters into their ground.

Most have got them in the bottom half dozen without starting as far behind the 8 ball as they seem to be. Lots of the best 22 under done or missing round 1 by the looks of it.

And they start with West Coast (H), Geelong, GWS, Bulldogs, Fremantle (A), Gold Coast, Adelaide, Sydney. 6 of the 1st 8 games against sides from above them in '16.

thats a tough start on paper. Could be 1-7 after that. (then again the same was said of the crows' start last year so its easy to read too much into it)

It was as piss weak as it gets, but the classifications handed to North by the MRP and after the club sought legal advice, they were left with no solid ground to apparently challenge.
One more injury/suspension and I may line up round 1 in a forward pocket...
