    Beg to disagree on Mattner. He primarily played the loose man in defence in 2012. Shaw and Smith picked up the smalls. Who plays on who depends on the opposition and who is on the bench to interchange.

    On Rohan; I would be very surprised if he plays round 1. Very few butter up immediately in the next season after a broken leg. Given Tippett is out until Round 12, Parker and Bird must be in the side and LRT goes forward. So it is pretty close to the GF side first up.

    Yes me too Al. I guess we'll never know.

    I don't agree with it, I'd be finding a spot for him somewhere, but I don't think you need to be a hater or a clown to mount an argument in the negative for 2013 at this early stage.
    Point taken, although I daresay anyone who would mount such a case either didn't watch the final in Adelaide or potentially stores suspiciously large shoes in the bottom of their cupboard

    Take the GF team, add Rowan, Tippett and McGlynn and try to figure out who doesn't make the squad; plus who wears the green vest.

    It's like a puzzle without a solution.

    And don't forget all the others that we would like to see get some games: Mitchell, Lamb, Cunningham, Armstrong and on and on. We all have our favourites.

    At the least he's a better defender than Grundy and Johnson....and arguably Ted on his day.

    I've never seen Mattner pick up a KP. I have seen him play on smalls.

    The teams wasn't for round one. It was the best (IMO) with the list.

    Harry has mentioned in a few interviews he is being groomed as our loose HBF of the future

    does he deserve the impact possie in the green singlet in 2013 ?

    he certainly offers skills, speed and great kick on the run........maybe coming on in the HFF possie?
