Round 1 2013 AFL teams

[valkorum]

yeah, because we always believe lyon on announced positional changes.

You got it wrong, we dont believe Lyon when he says he will play youth.  He doesn't give bogus info regarding positional changes.

Correct me if I'm wrong and I probably am but didn't Ross say Broughts was going to play mids in 2012

Broughts did play in the middle and then he went forward late in the season.  RTB never said Broughts would stay in the middle all season

Yeah good job monty, thanks for the work you have put in. There is however a lot of water to go under the bridge until round 1, plenty of time for injuries and we won't be completely sure until the teams are named. Regarding the hawks I reckon Hill will be more likely to start as sub than Anderson for us.

Port will be an interesting one to watch i think they have plenty of space to get some early games into rookies. Wines is a lock for the 22 but Colquhon and Kane Mitchell might be able to squeeze into the team round 1.  I watched alot of Mitchell in the WAFl and if he goes in round 1 i cant see him getting pushed out.

I think both Port and Melb will both be interesting round 1 teams!!!

[The_Captain]

Even the Bulldogs as well. Both should have a lot of rookies and value around their clubs.

I agree that Kane Mitchell is ready but he has to get off the rookie list first.

[Ziplock]

is he injured/ suspended?

these are round 1 teams- not best 22s.

[Mailman the 2nd]

Luke Hodge is badly injured and may miss early weeks through knee surgery

m0nty, i dont like Rohan's chances of playing R1 as he has only just started to run on grass. Surely they wont risk him

Pyke comes in to the line up imo
