The other one I think might be CAPABLE of it would be Tapscott (from what we hear) but of course he is out for the first half. Then of course there is McDonald, but I guess he comes in as a mature age recruit.

The players above notwithstanding, I have this feeling that TMac will be oh so valuable this year in that solid year long player that you speak of disco.

Hope all those players can string a few matches together but i think all of them will be rested at some stage during the year. Would be great to see Aussie and Garland have good seasons after there horrible injury runs.

I also have a soft spot for Spencer. I think he could be a good target in the forward line and backup for the big russian.

Damn i cant wait for the season to start.

I think you actually miss the most likely in Jordie McKenzie.

Are we trying to jinx all our young players?

And 2014, I know what you mean but I had to laugh - the only other one you think could go 22 rounds uninjured is currently injured.

I don't think/hope any of them will play 22 H&A games this year. I hope Not anyway.

Reason,,,I hope they, Bennell/Strauss/Scully/Trengove/Jetta, all play at least 14/15ish games, but if they all played 22, that would mean we've put no games into others like McKenzie/Gysberts/Blease/Maric/Tapscott.

We need to get games & game time into all these kids for all our sakes & developement.

Some will be the dominant ones who get most games, that is yet to be seen who they will be.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    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,
