If McIntosh is not sub he starts on the field for me.

Very surprised to see Batch line up, didn't see that coming.

[muggle25]

who is the surprise ommission? Warnock?

[RaisyDaisy]

Cripps and McIntosh LOCKED

Don't think I can pick Lambert now, and not touching Smith

Do you have Saad? Would you risk keeping him on field even if Mcintosh starts?

[Nige]

Wow, okay.

Grigg or Gordon the sub you'd think, Newman to be subbed.

If McIntosh is not sub he starts on the field for me.

Very surprised to see Batch line up, didn't see that coming.

Surprised Batch is in, but he's done well in preseason and deserves it. I like him a lot, straight out once Astbury's back in you'd think though. Can't believe Tyrone's not named, looks like the faith is in Griff and Tyrone will have to work his way in.

I'm with you Bully. If McIntosh isn't sub I'm starting him too, and I'll have Saad and Brown on bench

[Bully]

I won't pick him, as a worst case scenario I trade Cocky/Brayshaw down to him and pocket 140k.

Wow, okay.

I called that in my team predictions, he's been horrible lately, just coasting along. Griff deserves his spot.

[RaisyDaisy]

After watching that Richmond doc, as well as other Footy Shows it was clear that the Tiges have to pic one of Vickery or Griff and hope they stand up, because the two of them aren't really doing much. Looks like Griff got the nod, which is no surprise

[quinny88]

Hopefully Lambert stays away for 5-6  weeks now so we can at least downgrade to him

As they say, a bird in the hand.............

[Nige]

Conceded that Lambert probably has to go.
