    With the squad as named, I see the team lining up like so:


    B: Nick Smith, Craig Bolton, Lewis Roberts-Thomson

    HB: Tadhg Kennelly, Heath Grundy, Martin Mattner

    C: Kieran Jack, Craig Bird, Josh Kennedy

    HF: Jarrad McVeigh, Adam Goodes, Paul Bevan

    F: Jarred Moore, Daniel Currie, Trent Dennis-Lane

    R: Mark Seaby, Brett Kirk, Jude Bolton

    I/C: Mike Pyke, Nick Malceski, Ben McGlynn, Lewis Jetta, Byron Sumner, Gary Rohan, Ted Richards, Matthew O'Dwyer

    Still looks a lot to me like the swans are treating the NAB Cup the same way they do every year. As a means to see how the new and younger guys perform on the bigger stage with a smatterring of more senior guys getting some game time into their legs.

    True but it will still be more willing than last year as players battle for the positions available.To get in the Swans starting 22 you are going to have to do well in thew pre-season comps.

    Richards in the forward pocket? That's not his usual gig is it?

    I would still be surprised if goodes and a few other senior players lined up. I dont think we'll win, but really WHO CARES! Carlton have always taken this thing seriously. As long as the young brigade do well and get the experience.

    With Grundy, LRT and Bolton our 3 tall defenders, reckon we will see more of Richards up forward this year - especially to cover White and Bradshaw who aren't playing.

    I was beaten to it but it doesn't look to me like we're taking this NAB Cup any more seriously than previous years. A lot of kids getting a run to see how they go. But this year they know that if they shape up they'll be playing seniors in a few weeks. I wouldn't worry about the missing Barlow, Playfair etc. Maybe we know what they can do and how they are going and for balance sake they are playing the following week.

    I like the balance of senior players to guide the juniors. I hope this lot really are our indestructibles as there's a long season to go.

    It will be exciting to see how the kids go but you wouldn't be putting money on a win.

    But he is a lousy kick for goal or doesn't that matter?

    I'm sure Richards won't play forward. It was a running joke last year that he was named CHF every week and every week played up back. AT least this week he won't have Fev to stand in front of.

    Meet our new gun forward - the Pykester:

    With Jesse White (ankle) and Daniel Bradshaw (knee) unavailable, Daniel Currie and Mike Pyke will lend key-position support to Adam Goodes up forward.
