No point risking H, he has hobbled off two games in a row with an ankle, do we want to make it three times (unlucky)? Levi hasn't played a game, against Richmond he will be blowing a gale in 10mins. Newnes is a small to mid size we can cover one way or another.
I called for Omac to play before he was on our list, halfway through our last practice match....and i stand by it.
TBH, i think this sub rule would be ideal for us in this instance. Pick Omac as the guy if we dont want to pick him in the 22.
Our side will be smaller than normal anyway, and thus be easier to cover a small injury.
We get our tall insurance with him as the 23rd player.
edit: My original point that Omac might be in the best 22 already.....and we are picking injured players because we are forced too.

Omac will play. Nothing surer.

Missed out a ticket also, club reckons the allocation was gone in 90 seconds.

Young players feel obliged, but older experienced players often sit out!
Great!!

There is no way Martin say out optionally.

If Betts is an out I'm not sure what to think, he has a good record for us versus Nthmond at The G, but it's all pre-Crows back when the Nthmond stunk it up!
25% (10) of Betts' goals against Nthmond came in just two games.

You know we are in dire straights when we are playing LOB.
He is a confirmed in. :-[
Re: Pre-Game 2021 AFL Rnd 1: Richmond vs Carlton. - LP - 03-17-2021
From my understanding the ticket allocations it is about a 50:1 Pro-Nthmond crowd, and the crowd influence over umpires in a game like that will not be dissimilar to playing in Perth or Adelaide.
So my expectations are not high, I'm just going to try and enjoy it for what it is, because I doubt we can take much out of this game.
I hope all the lads get through unscathed and show a bit without getting smashed.

Half of the mcc and AFL members will be Carlton so there will be about 10,000 Carlton fans there.
