Expect Hill to play. Gia has a bit of an injury cloud over him, as he often does - I’d stay away from him.

I/C: Shannon Hurn, Mark Nicoski, Mark Seaby, Brent Staker
EMG: Chris Masten, Jamie McNamara, Scott Selwood

Oh dear, look at all those tasty rookies in the emergencies. This is the worst case scenario for fantasy coaches. Nicoski and Staker being named on the bench doesn’t fill me with confidence about their stickiness in this side either. A poor outcome all round.

Gah, no Palmer! Excellent news on Gilmore though, that’s going to put him into a lot of starting fantasy 22s.

Inter: Cameron Wood, Chris Egan, Paul Medhurst, Dane Swan

Emerg: Ryan Cook, Ben Reid, Alan Toovey

Okay, so instead of three rookies we get one: Nathan J. Brown, named at centre half back. No Anthony. For those of you looking for a replacement for Proud or Pfeiffer, NJB is not a bad option - probably not the best, but at least dependable in terms of getting games past round 1. The other notable omission is Reid, but I warned you all that he’s behind Rusling this year and this is only confirmation.

B: Josh Drummond, Daniel Merrett, Joel Patfull

F: Daniel Bradshaw, Jared Brennan, Rhan Hooper
Foll: Jamie Charman, Simon Black, Michael Rischitelli
Inter: Robert Copeland, Matthew Leuenberger, Troy Selwood, Anthony Corrie

Emerg: Justin Sherman, Lachlan Henderson, Albert Proud

AAAAAAAAGH!!!! No Proud! That screws everything up.

In fact, that whole emergency line is a disaster. Those who might have been leaning towards the Shermanator as a backup plan for the iffy Nick Stevens can kiss that plan goodbye. Henderson was also in a lot of fantasy teams after some good pre-season numbers. The only good news is Bradshaw playing, though that wasn’t under much doubt. At least we got this one early!
