    Aren't the two GWS kids quite tall? I suspect that MickyO will have something of a challenge balancing the side size wise. A lot of those named in the provisional squad were quite small, and he was quoted a couple of days ago as saying he was still looking for a ruckman. Goodes, Ryder and Jones are the only experienced players listed in the initial squad of KPP height - Jurrah can pinch hit as a KPP, but he's really a "third forward" height.

    That's what I originally thought too. Hampton is listed as 187cm and Ugle at 180cm.

    I've heard ZePh skinner might be the second ruck at 189cm

    If keeping in the GWS kids means that Goodsy doesn't have to play in the ruck its a great decision..........

    Looking at the teams it does look a bit one sided. Anyone else think Micky O's boys will win by about 15 Goals?

    Fair enough - sounds like they won't help much with the ruck problem.

    The squad still had (has) quite a large number of AFL-relative midgets - Davey at 173cm, Campbell at 170cm, Betts at 173cm. They've all got considerable experience, fitness, size over Sumner so not surprising to see him not make the cut.

    Zeph Skinner has hops!

    Says he played ruck for the NT Thunder so I think we can safely assume that Goodesy will be safe from the centre bounce duties on Friday.

    I'm like that with all pre season games. I know it's all necessary for Round 1 preparation but I won't be getting too excited until the premiership begins.

    Good grief, I just looked at the Bolt rant. The haka is also an invented war dance.

    The All-Stars game sounds like a lot of fun.

    Brilliant photo of Zeph Skinner.

    The war dance as far as I know was not done by aboriginals as they were not waring people as a whole as were the Maoris.

    The Maoris did various forms of the haka. So it has been done traditionally over many generations and not just a demonstration dance invented by the All Blacks.
