Jeeeesus.

That's one hell of a squad! I like it though, injuries and tanking aside... I was hoping to see McKenzie and Bail this year at least once.

It's all coming up Millhouse!!!

Hilarious ins!! I was beginning to doubt Bails would come through with the goods.. then we see this! HOOHA!!!

Great for Greeny he can put his feet up and rest for a cracker in 2010.

Great news about the hopefully season ending injury to our best player all in a good cause mind.

I think the Club knows what kind of a revolt would be on their hands if they win 5 games, so hopefully we wont win another game till St. Kilda in Round 22

Hope Mackenzie and Bail play.

Good luck boys.

Like to see I/C P.Johnson, Valenti, J.McKenzie, R.Bail.

Sorry, K.Cheney, N.Jetta, Wheels

Lets look at these guys, they could be our future, or i hate to say it future trade bait.

Miller and Newton back in!? Miller needs to play the game of his life or he is gone. Same goes for Newton

Grimey out?

Hope Mackenzie and Bail play, would love to see two debuttants.

Can't believe Green is injured, where's the Scaphoid?

Can't believe they'd play Miller before Robbo.

Key forward Brad Miller is back to take on the Swans, with injury forcing the Demons to make at least five changes.

Among the eight inclusions are two debutants in Queenslander Rohan Bail and Jordie McKenzie, who was today promoted from the rookie list this week.

Backs L.Dunn, M.Warnock, J.Frawley

Half backs B.Moloney, J.Rivers, C.Bruce

Centreline C.Bartram, J.McDonald, A.Davey

Half forwards J.Bennell, M.Newton, C.Morton

Forwards B.Miller, M.Bate, L.Jurrah

Followers S.Martin, R.Petterd, N.Jones

I/C From: P.Johnson, K.Cheney, N.Jetta, M.Whelan, S.Valenti, J.McKenzie, R.Bail.

TEAM CHANGES

In: Cheney, Johnson, Miller, Newton, Valenti, Whelan, McKenzie, Bail

Out: McLean (Knee), Jamar (Quad), Green (Scaphoid), Grimes (Back), Robertson

New: Jordie McKenzie (Geelong Falcons), Rohan Bail (Mt Gravatt)

I reckon that team will win. I particularly like the forward line though I am a little doubtful how many times the ball will actually get into our forward line!

Biggest tank team ever.

Yeah sure it's great, but remember, our biggest challenges in teams trying to out tank us will come against the tigers and Roos. I won't start getting excited until we are 3-16.

Looking at that makes me a little sad, but i know that it is a necessary evil. 1 step back to take 2 steps forward.

Onwards & Upwards.

Tank? Us?

However, i'm thrilled that we have a chance to see McKenzie and Bail play (hope they both make the cut). Delayed telecast on Sunday means I can actually watch this one! I am however a little nervous about Jurrah. He's the sort of guy who can win matches on his own. Perhaps it's getting to the point where he needs a rest? ;p

Onwards & Upwards.

And next week when we change

In: Watts, Hughs

Out: McDonald (flu), Rivers (swollen groin)

It doen't look so much like tanking and leaves us with:

Backs L.Dunn, M.Warnock, J.Frawley

Half backs C. Bartram, K.Cheney, C.Bruce

Centreline B.Moloney, S.Valenti, A.Davey

Half forwards J.Bennell, M.Newton, J.McKenzie

Forwards J Watts, M.Bate, L.Jurrah

Followers S.Martin, R.Petterd, N.Jones

I/C: P.Johnson, Hughs, N.Jetta, R.Bail.

Emergency M.Whelan, C.Morton, B.Miller.

Try and not beat that Tiger's!!!

id expect

P.Johnson (for another ruck), K.Cheney, N.Jetta and probably M.Whelan as the I/C

would love to have S.Valenti, J.McKenzie and R.Bail in though!!

HaHa Belz you are a legend!! That got me seriously Cacking Myself Out Loud!! Even thou Vlad says it does not happen!

I cant stand this TANK talk, but I hate to loose and I want the priority pick. So do it guys. I will just go to sleep until the end of round 22 and wake up knowing that at least the best 2 National draft kids and the best pre season pick will be lining up round 1 2010 along side Watts, Blease, Jurrah, Wonna, Morton, Grimes, Garland, Struass and co.

I am totally with you man,don't know whether i will even attend the last few games, as Barracking for a loss is just not right. But I want those 2 Draft Picks at melbourne as my Christmas Present.

I will get over the next 6 confusing weeks if we can start Winning Regulairly next year.

ROFL @ the team

Here comes Scully!!!!!!

Apart from Green, I wouldn't have thought these changes are that strange. I think it's only because of the quantity of changes, remember they are only squads and we've named 7 on the bench.

Grimes - Back Issue, mentioned during the week

Jamar - Likewise, thigh issue, mentioned during the week

Mclean - Been struggling, people have been calling for him to be dropped for the past couple of months.

Robbo - Had a shocker last week, many would have been outraged had he kept his spot.

Green is the only one which is a suprise...

As for the ins.

Cheney - like for like for Grimes

Johnson - like for like for Jamar

Miller or Newton - like for like for Robbo

Valenti - like for like for Mclean (been called for for weeks)

Would expect Whelan, McKenzie or Bail will fight it out for the last spot with one of Newton or Miller also not to play (probably Miller).

I don't know why everyone's assuming tanking, I think they are legitimate changes

TEAM CHANGES

In: Cheney, Johnson, Miller, Newton, Valenti, Whelan, McKenzie, Bail

Out: McLean (Knee), Jamar (Quad), Green (Scaphoid), Grimes (Back), Robertson

New: Jordie McKenzie (Geelong Falcons), Rohan Bail (Mt Gravatt)

DB has really out done himself. 3 cheers for DB hip hip hoo...........

Hip Hip Hooray!!

Pavlich and Sandilands back for Freo vs WC.

Cousins, Cotchin and Brown back for Rich vs Ess.

Oh well, I tried to fight the good fight to keep our honour, but it's still my club - right or wrong - so "Go Sydney!"

Edit: I've surrendered in the face of overwhelming reality.

Edited July 23, 200916 yr by Rojik of the Arctic

Jurrah to get the #1 kpp defender? maybe we should play him down back to break the tag... well... if we wernt tanking

Our odds at Centrebet have blown out from around $2.45 to $2.90 and they've taken all 'Line betting' for the game off the board for the time being, as a result of our In's and Out's.

Everyone can smell what we're cooking.

I hate to dissapoint everyone but Jordie is going to win us the game with his run and precision kicking.

And next week when we change

In: Watts, Hughs

Out: McDonald (flu), Rivers (swollen groin)

It doen't look so much like tanking and leaves us with:

Try and not beat that Tiger's!!!

leaving Mcdonald in aids the tanking process
