Kane Lambert is likely to be named among the emergencies for Round 1. Hardly put a foot wrong, but @Richmond_FC's list is fit & firing. #AFL

Interesting, who will select him now?

[Nige]

He'll stay on my bench I reckon.

Boekhorst a potential emergency or sub option, Clem Smith also a sneaky chance.

Think I will select a playing rookie, Lambert isn't much use as a loophole player either, plays too many early matches. Might have to bring in Cocky, particularly given Lambert is a sub risk.

Can't see too many other rookies other than those pretty much everybody has getting a gig, if he's still a chance to play, I'd have him. Each to their own though.

Patrick Keane ‏@AFL_PKeane now

Rd1 teams for Carl v Rich released. Congrats to the one debutant for each club.

[Nige]

Not sure whether that means club debut or AFL debut.

If it's club debut, Jaksch and Hunt you'd think.

Has to be McIntosh.

Yep, just realised that.

Boekhorst, Clem or Byrne for the Blues?

[RaisyDaisy]

If Lambert doesn't get named I don't think I'll pick him

The reality is he would be sitting on my mid bench anyway, so I'll just hope he gets a few vests early on when he does get his start and then he can be a downgrade option later if he looks like he has cemented a spot

Bit of a shame, especially being so cheap with DPP but I there should be enough rookies who actually get a game

Not touching any of the Blues rookies. Cant see any of them being good scorers or having great JS

[Vinny]

It's Clem Smith, he will sub though.

Impressed with my own predictions lol. Smith named in the 18 but feel he will be sub. #AFLBluesTigers #Supercoach



Clem Smith debuts.
