This'll be interesting! Not so good news for the NBs... cupboard will be pretty bare there.
Be really interesting to see how Bucks, Boekhorst and Casey do. Some good speed there, looking at the up side!
I've mentioned it before and will again, wow, Palmer must have really p1ssed off someone at PP, although last week was okay his previous form has been very good. Having Sumner selected in front of him is a :o moment.

Notwithstanding the far greater issue of depression, on a smaller note it's shame that Tom Boyd won't be playing, because I would have loved to see Liam "Giant Slayer" Jones match up on him.
Good luck Tommy.

With the exception of Byrne they're fairly ordinary ins, it's hard to see us winning.
Armfield must be feeling like a jilted teenager.

A Silvagni inspires me.

I reckon you would be more worried getting a token run in the seniors rather than playing in the magoos.
If Palmer has more than a year, then he's obviously not under pressure to perform at this point.
The rest are literally playing for their lives.

Not sure I would use the word inspire but he does give you a safe feeling when you see him down back...

The five minute patch on Buddy where he repeatedly closed him down.
The dogged chase down tackle on the wing against Collingwood.
Made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

Me too. With Liam the Dragon Slayer in good form down back, I'd be tempted to try Alex in Cripps' role, at least for 1 game. Reckon he'd relish the challenge.
