The trouble is retrospectively some peoples fun might become tomorrow's fake news, ask Donald!

Here is a question for you: how many new recruits will line up for us in Round #1?
Docherty and Gibbs are certain outs from our team last year. We also blooded a number of kids. Armfield played at the end of the season: he is also a certain non starter. That leaves 3 spots before we think about anything as crass as form.

Kennedy, Lang and O'Shea(take Dochertys role).....I'm 40/60 on Dow and 30/70 on J. Garlett, said it before but I think we will play a more experienced lineup initially.....
Edit:..I'd also have Mullet at 50/50 but would need a real good JLT series and preseason, I'd have OShea ahead of him given the ex Port player seems to already have a bit of profile at the club and his team-mates seem happy having him onboard, bit more mature and probably gives us a bit more mongrel.
I think Mullets best chance is if we have a couple of injuries to our running players....

Kennedy, Lang, Garlett I reckon.
O'Shea and Dow and Shaw 50-50 chances.
Fitness will have a say in it. Lobbe could be a chance if we are short of big men.

Preseason will have a big influence but the only likely draftee imo would be Dow. Kennedy and Lang are strong bets together with Mullet or O'Shea in for Doc.
Re: Rnd 1 Carlton vs Richmond - Pre-Game - PaulP - 12-24-2017
Richmond are on the small side, and it becomes a legitimate question as to whether we try to match them for speed, energy and pressure, or whether we try to play taller and and stretch them aerially, via a longer kicking / marking game. I haven't seen Bolts try the latter much at all, so I'd be guessing more of the former.
I would agree with EB for now. More experience to begin with, then kids later. O'Shea Lang and Kennedy for sure IMHO. Garlett and Lobbe maybe.

I think Kennedy, Lang, and Mullet might get a gig. If there's injuries, Garlett and O'Shea will come in. I don't see the kids getting a run R1. I think Dow' s surgery might have impacted his PS load. If that's the case, he'll get a very measured debut plan.
Wouldn't be surprised to see big H out there either. His mere presence would put a few off
Go New Blues

I would think McKay is very likely to be playing and playing a big role next year

Then again, I may be completely wrong.
I do think McKay will play if he is 100% fit. At 204 cm he will be a handful. (I have just made certain that McKay won't play and that his form will be substandard by bringing him up.)
