J.Kelly is bolded because I have Excel look up listed players automatically and it’s mistakenly used Josh Kelly to match up to J.Kelly

Briggs went off at quarter time but I thought he was doing well against Knoll in the first quarter considering he is a first year player that hasn’t done much rucking until the last few weeks due to their injuries. I didn’t see the last quarter (was heading to the game) but Knoll had 49 hitouts the three quarter time and finished with 51. Was he not playing or just not rucking?

As I mentioned in a response above, Amartey seemed to take over the ruck duties more and more as the game went on.

Do aardvarks eat fish?

I have been known to enjoy the occasional fish dish.😀

I saw the last quarter and Knoll played forward and looked hopeless

I am guessing Jack or Melican will travel with the senior team to Adelaide, and thus won't play in this game. Jack, most likely.

Stoddart was the senior emergency last week so didn't get a game. They don't usually sit players out for two weeks consecutively. And Rose should be nowhere near the senior team after last week's "effort", not even as emergency.

Just had a quick look at the NEAFL ladder and noticed we have qualified for the finals. It will be the first NEAFL finals series we play where the senior team’s season is already done and hence player eligibility restrictions come into play. We won’t stand much a chance if we come up against Brisbane or the Giants’s team as they would still have all players available

[MattW]

Fantastic news the Ling's playing. Go well, lad.

You read my mind ugg because I was going to ask whether the player restrictions will apply seeing as the seniors won't be playing finals. Are the restrictions the same as the grand final last year? They were too harsh.
