Do they really need to play Harvs and Max?
Both look fit and are invaluable in the season proper and considering their age, how much time do they need?

Lance or James??
There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

Probably don't need to play them, but it just goes to show how much those 2 blokes are itching to play this year.joffaboy wrote:Do they really need to play Harvs and Max?

IIRC Max missed most of the pre-season last year (might be wrong on this one) - I reckon he'd be chomping at the bit this year.

Ablett a notable exclusion.
Drain has stated that King's preseason fitness plan had him playing 2 games (ie including the Intra club) and then resting for the next match.
ie even if we had been playing the Dees this week that King would have been rested.
The focus is clearly all about getting players right for the H&A.

Hopefully Rix and VR have improved over summer, that's all i'll say. I haven't seen either play in the ruck this year.plugger66 wrote:I was wondering how people think we will go with VR and Rix in the ruck tomorrow compared to King and Gardiner last week as they did provide plenty to the midfielders.
After seeing King and Gardiner play, it's 65% about the hitouts, and 35% about positioning, screening, and providing protection for your ball carriers at the stoppages.
