I think TheBloods has delisted Rowbottom. I wasn't aware RWO posters had such influence over the teams list management but itOriginally Posted by chalbilto
appears some of us do. I'm not going delist anyone (ever). And if there are 120 guys at training one day and some of them are on
the wrong side of fifty then so be it.

Sam Reid injured? Photo of him on Naismith's instagram story has him in an arm sling
Probably just trying to get out of nappy duty. Maybe a trick Buddy showed him.
Is it odd or even years that Reid sits out injured? I forget ..
Not sure? Does the fact that his brother has retired, have any effect on the metaphysical forces that guide things like that?
Rowbottom was very good last week but of course you don't like him so he does not get picked. Lol. This dislike of players is very confusing. They are All our boys until the list says different. I do not know any of these boys. I just watch them play footy. I like what Rowbottom does on a footy field. Highly skilled, gets the ball out of impossible situations. Kicks goals. Is hard at the ball and body. Tackling is great. He is an honest footballer who gives 100% every time he goes, out. Sometimes he is put in positions they want him to play because they want to try a player in the mids. That is what preseason games are for. Sometimes those positions, forward pocket, are not positions he is suited to.
No. They did not take him out of the mids because he has fallen back in the pecking order. They wanted to give Warner a go. George played back for part of the match for crying out loud. But went into the mids when needed. So did Rowbottom this week. The reason George played half back is quite simple. He has had limited preperation. He will have the tag on Neale. Put him at half back to hone his defensive game.
Rowbottom WILL play no matter how much steam comes out of your ears.

The AFL official site gets close, IMO:
SYDNEY
B: Jake Lloyd, Lewis Melican, Dane Rampe
HB: Jordan Dawson, Tom McCartin, Braeden Campbell
C: Oli Florent, Callum Mills, Nick Blakey
HF: Will Hayward, Logan McDonald, Isaac Heeney
F: Tom Papley, Sam Reid, Sam Wicks
Foll: Tom Hickey, Josh Kennedy, Luke Parker
I/C: Harry Cunningham, George Hewett, James Rowbottom, Chad Warner
EMERG: Callum Sinclair, Errol Gulden, James Bell, Ryan Clarke
Onlt change is that they need to squeeze Gulden in - equal team-high 7 score involvements last weekend. But it's quite difficult to find someone to omit. I would omit Hewett.
Source: MOCK TEAMS: Who's in your club's best 22 for round one?.
It is very hard to see who comes out for Gulden. Possibly (and I know this is heresy) McDonald if it’s going to be wet / humid at the Gabba.
On form, Hayward hasn't done much so far.
I would not omit Hewett. Who plays on Neale? Hayward gone for mine. Will just isn't doing enough. You can have all the talent in the world but you have to show up. I think he could be an absolute match winner but as Granny Weatherwax would say it is all about headology. The problem is in his head. He is mistiming and not pacing himself. I must admit the delivery has not always been good. But missing in action is just that.

I'm thinking about, without necessarily yet leaning towards, Sinclair in instead of McDonald at this point. Sinclair is a better key forward than he is a ruck, and I would like to see a forward line with a bit more experience and presence for the first game of the season. Or, perhaps more controversially, Sinclair in for Reid, although then we lose the option of rotating Reid through the back half. And I'm interested in Gulden in for Hayward. It looks like he offers a fair bit more in the middle of the ground, and with Parker, Heeney and likely Kennedy spending more time forward I'm seeing less of a role for Hayward.
