Out from last week from what I remember is Heyne, LJ, Goose, Lynch and Choo Choo.

Ins seem to be Max. Schneider, Armo, Jimmy and King.

Raph still missing and as mentioned Rooy.

The way I see it this year its looks like we will be set for round one because as soon as players have been fit they have played and continued to play. Not many have been rested as per other seasons.

Good to see Armo in for his 1st hit out of the year. Hopefully he can push on to be ready for round 1.

Fitness yes, agree with plugger on that one......problem may be form....then again, what can you read form wise from any praccy match????

Great INS!

However...

Is there any news on Raph and Goose?

I know Goose went off early v the Doggies - something minor I hope?

And we haven't spotted Raph since the Lions game?

Thanks.

saintsRrising · Wed 04 Mar 2009 6:23pm

The return of the Schneiderman....

Should be noted too that its Graham Polaks first game back afer his altercation with the tram.

I wish him well...I'm sure he wont get too much game time though

Solar · Post: # 706639Post **Solar** » Wed 04 Mar 2009 7:43pm

good to see max there

important to note that raph played up north so he got an extra game over over players. They might be trying to keep his load at a good level as this is his first real pre-season.

The Tigers side is terrible. Only a practice match and it doesnt mean much at all but you would hope we can have an easy win against them.

Disappointed again with the selection. Not enough youngsters.

Who should be playing then. Most of the players we drafted are injured and some rookies are playing as is Heyne. Some of the younger players have played 2 in a row so they maybe getting a rest from the big games.

Maguire is playing in a Sandy intra club match tomorrow night..

henno · Post: # 707048Post **henno** » Thu 05 Mar 2009 9:31pm

i don't even know if that teams right

cos last match against the doggies, our team list lacked around 5 players like lynch and eljay and choo choo that played :S

That's great news. As I suspected the club might be taking the softly softly approach. Here's hoping he can get back to his best. We need him.

Is Raph also playing in the same game?

I think as others have said we are building for a rd 1 good start and for that are attempting to get as much time into the Rd 1 team as possible.

And that's definitely the way to go.

The one thing I do hope is that unless the players not in our NAB Challenge team are being rested I'd like to see them getting a hitout in the Zebras intraclub.

In regards to Riewoldt, remember that if he doesn't get up for the final practice game next week, we still have the option to play him for Sandringham in their practice game the following week. You just need to gain permission from the AFL but I presume that would be a formality.

we need to start giving some of our regular guys in the 22 opportunity to get some form and with only 2 practice matches to go there is not much time left.

still have 5-6 guys playing that were not in the finals from last year.

Plugger66 posted above that Heyne is playing tonight, but he is not in the squad of 28. Roo & Raph arent playing, both of whom would be expected to line up in round 1. Yet they can still only find room for Miles, Dawson, and Stephen amongst the unblooded in the 28. Instead they are playing players who wontg be playing round 1 but have been at the club for years, instead of the youngsters. That is why I am disappointed. I"ll still be there tonight though.

What youngers do you want to play tonight?
