Your Round 1 Side.

[on the rails]

I will have a crack at North’s line-up for our first game (Round 2):

FF: Campbell / Langford / Westhoff
HF: Thiele / Johnston / O’Sullivan
C: Ryswyk / Gordon / Clinch
HB: Ivens / Miles / Gallman
FB: Keller / Dalwood / Thompson
Ruck: J. Craig / Anderson / M. Thring
I/C: Any of the following: Shannon / Blee / Amato / Wilson-King / G. Thring / Boras

Disclaimers:
- Line-up based on last week’s trial game line-up.
- Included AFL listed players in Johnston and Blee as I understand they will be with us for Round 2 unless they get injured this week or they have to cover for injuries with their AFL teams. Not sure if Young / Moore or D. Stewart will also be available but appears unlikely?
- New CHF / Ruckman Daniel Archer is out for 4-6 weeks with a busted hand so that means Westhoff may well have to cover second ruck which means Boras could be an in up fwd and Westhoff off the bench?
- Gallman / G. Thring will be available subject to recovery from off season injuries.

Westhoff & O'Sullivan to start in the league side? Have you guys found the secret to lack of heart & pace over the summer??

[whufc]

Colquhoun been named in the Powers best in each trial game, is only rookie listed and with one spot available at this stage the dogs should see a fair bit of him

Castree- nephew?? Of Rick MacGowan has that same knack of finding the footy but has alot more speed and a beautiful long kick, huge potential imho

Sam is not a Rookie at the Power, he was taken at pick 3 in the Pre-Season draft and is a full listed player, able to be picked for senior AFL selection from Round 1.

Brock Castree is indeed the nephew of Rick MacGowan, but much like Uncle Rick, lacks any genuine foot speed. Still can find the ball and uses it pretty well. AFL recruiters are well aware of Brock but perhaps just a little concerned over his lack of genuine leg speed.

I always get the pre season and rookie draft mixed up

O'Sullivan was pretty good for the Roosters against Port last weekend, leading all stats winners on ground. Westhoff didn't have quite us much impact.

[CENTURION]

I hope he goes well, he's a bloody good bloke..............and he has Bundy Bear too!

Chads test will be once the pace heats up when the real stuff starts, he still puts himself in good positions and uses it well.

I think all Dog supporters wish him well at North, great bloke

Andrew Hayes named to play his first game for the Magpies tomorrow evening...

[CENTURION]

I am sure that he will bend over backwards to Spurr himself on to victory!

[Dutchy]

He has always enjoyed crossing the white line..

[the joker]

Am I the only one that thinks the Dogs side looks ordinary?
Never even heard of a third of he side.
Compare it to the same side 5 years ago and it looks awful IMHO.
Or has the standard of the SANFL dropped so much that even though a side can compare horribly to a side of 5 years ago it can still be regarded as a strong side in 2013?
Even the side that got flogged in the first semi looked better on paper IMHO.
Mind you Norths side of that game looked a hell of a lot better than their side will look in Round 2 too.

Yes that 1st semi final side did look stronger/better but....
they got flogged. well and truly..
I wont comment on the standard of the comp untill a game has been played.
Personally, I think the young kids will be really hungry now some of the older blokes have departed.
Come on you doggssssss

Also the big improvement for Centrals from that finals side will come from the players we already had.

-O'Hara and Dutschke did stuff all pre season last year and continued to get injured throughout the year
-Obst was playing his 2-3rd game back from a reco
-Hayes had barely played all year
-supposedly the players who were behaving badly have now gone.
-looking like we might see a fair bit of Ian Callinan this season best player in the comp at full flight imho

The players who people may not have heard of that I think will be very handy SANFL players by the end of the year are

Colqhourn- been named in the Powers best in each trial game, is only rookie listed and with one spot available at this stage the dogs should see a fair bit of him

Castree- nephew?? Of Rick MacGowan has that same knack of finding the footy but has alot more speed and a beautiful long kick, huge potential imho

Nutter will only comeback from injury and gain match fitness at the dogs. Will not even qualify for finals

[CENTURION]

I don't think He'll make it this year with the crows.
