Only one player in the selected 22 is a trade from another club—Josh Kennedy. The rest all draftees or drafted rookies or internationals (COR). I think that's remarkable.

I thought they were picking me for the ruck!!!
Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
Not having a ruckman definitely hurts the Bombers more than us. Bellchambers was good at tapping the ball to the outside which lets Shiel, Merrett, Heppell etc. run onto it where they have an advantage. If we can make sure the hitouts are to contests our bigger midfielders should be favoured.
Zac Clarke is going to have a field day.
I'm not worried about the ruck contest. I think whoever gets the tap is over rated. What concerns me is weakening either our defence or attack to cover the ruck, which is why I think either Knolls or Amartey should've come in. Bugger the fact that they're not AFL ready. I suspect Clarke never has been and never will be truly AFL ready and was delisted by Freo!
Heppell's out. Should help us over our losses to some extent.
He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)
