agree, PJ at Full Forward is an absolute doozy. a case can be made for naming Grimes on the interchange too. :wacko:

Definitely not much thought gone into that prediction ... maybe its our most experienced team but a fair stretch from our best, especially in the light of statements about a youth lead revival. None of Garland, Bennell, Jetta, Cheney or the '09 draftees definitely make you wonder!

The Age... what a joke, I expect better from them. Bartram? PJ? Dunn? Where are Scully and Trengove? What about Stef? Bennell?

Of course the forward line won't have any firepower when PJ is down there you fools.

Scully and Trengove are "ready-made players" apparently, but yet they can't get a gig.

Poor.

The AFL.com one was pretty accurate, however.

Anyone else notice thet the Age's "Star Five" are just our four most experienced players + Bate? No Grimes, no Sylvia. No thought really. A oretty pathetic effort from what is usually a reliable paper.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention that.

No surprise that there's no mention of who the author was. Whoever wrote it wouldn't want to have their name put next to it.

so from afl.com.au's best 22 - who will miss out? Morton and Jurrah?! So 2 from our best 22 isn't in too bad shape to go into round 1 with?!

If we could get either of those teams onto the park, there is clearly enough experience there line by line to be competitive - plenty of 3+ years :blink: . Would like to see more bullishness about our chances. The youth argument doesn't wash with these line-ups - every team has some inexperience.

No Pettard, no Grimes in the Age. No Pettard, no Watts in AFL. I wonder what the definition of "Best team" is in both cases

Again as I mentioned in the Sun review, forget the best 22 team

Let the flogging begin

Grimes on the IC .. think grimes may be better than a few others listed in the 18

If Watts is good enough to be on the IC after 3 games presumably Scully and trengrove are our on the emergency bench...

Just another nameless journo that posts under the pseudonym AAP who has APDNFI

PS For those unaware AAP is a news service that sends the same story to many outlets

PPS APDNFI Absolutely Postively Definately No ... Idea

Another summation of our situation leading into the season......

2010 AFL premiership season preview with Leigh Colbert: Melbourne Demons

A couple of things jumped out at me on reading this:

Re: Addam Maric "think Shaun Higgins" ........ I'd love to think so, but it would be a huge step up!

Re: Lynden Dunn "has a bit of mongrel about him. Perhaps too much". .......Is that the Lynden Dunn who plays for Melbourne? Not from where I sit!

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
