Damien Stevens is obviously injured, Michael Bratton and Andrew Bachmann are not available, Jamahl Liddle and Pete Smith
are not playing and also Ryan Bennett has pulled out.
News from Loxton North camp is Geordie Franks and Nathan Brown have both been selected.
Michael Arnold is captain and Berri's Adam Beauchamp is vice captain.
On another topic, what are Bennett's early chances for the Whillas? He has received five best on grounds for the club
and has been a stand-out on field.
Brown and Franks are both playing which is going to be a good opportunity for them.
Dissapointing to only see 10-15 players out at training last night with the U17's asked to follow on from their earlier training to make numbers in the senior squad. I still feel there should be a suspension rule for any player who has been selected in the squad that does not want to take part in the game without a legitimate reason. I know their is a 5hr drive involved this year but still who doesnt want to represent the league?
While I agree it is not a good turnout to have 15 players out at training, I'm not sure the drive down can be included as an excuse - by the way it isn't a 5 hour drive from most R/Land towns it would be 3.5 - 4 hours from the Central towns and 4 1/2 hours from Waikerie.
Until someone is actually hit with a suspension the players will continue to make themselves unavailable.
