    That'd be a surprise. But you are the one and only poster on this website I can trust with info like this. Must be sore.

    Bails has been giving us the inside word on selections for the past 4 or 5 weeks or so. He gets it right every time. So I'd listen to what he says. Or read it. Whatever.

    That's what I am worried about, Bails has got it SPOT ON the last few weeks. Is this Dean or what? A quick post at 3pm and gone again? Going to be disappointed not having skull back out there....but on Bails word...I am prepared for the worst.

    Who cares who he is. What we care about is that his information has been spot on so please don't kill the messenger. Maybe they are keeping Sculls in cotton wool ready for the biggest game of the year. :wub:

    I may be wrong. I know it was on the cards though, he might need another week!!

    Brock cant get a game at carlton ha

    I'm hoping for this:

    Ins: Scully, Trengove, Bate, Strauss

    Outs: Wona, Rivers, Jetta.....then I'm stumped, I'd say Bartram but he is the right size to take on one of Satantas little helpers.

    I've put in Strauss for his lethal kick in and he will have more pace to go with one of the small forwards than Rivers. It was a toss up between Joel or Rivers.

    It is not rocket science to work out, if you read, watch and listen to everything, I told my partner that Gysberts would debut on the Tuesday and then he was picked on the Thursday, because he had been name checked by Bailey and Moloney a couple of times during the early part of the week, perhaps 'Bails' in another capacity was at the JO and saw something and rather than share, he can bask in his crystal balling......just find it a bit against the ethos if Scully is rested again instead of 'getting games into him' perhaps he has a noticeable injury

    Brock mclean was ommitted!

    Rivers named ahead of Cheney? What a joke! How must he feel seeing Rivers absolutely stink in the seniors while he dominates at Casey.

    Hmmm, maybe because they dont play the same role. Cheney is not an ideal replacement for Rivers. But Rivers should have been dropped IMO. The saving grace for Rivers is Garland. Garland appears to have been selected but I think he will be a late withdrawal.

    How is Garland a saving grace for Rivers?

    As it stands Warnock has been ommitted whilst Rivers holds his spot. That is not really a good or fair decision. We don't need to bring Garland or Cheney into it. The FD dropped a KPD to give us more room, it should have been Rivers. But it wasn't.

    If Garland's a late withdrawal I would think Cheney would get the call up. Frawley, Rivers and Bruce should be able to deal with any height they throw forward.

    So what is the other major string to Newton's bow?

    For that matter, what is the first string on his bow??

    No, wait, in what way does Newton even have a bow???

    Well he'd been adequate when relieving Jamar in the centre hitouts. He can split packs & needs encouragement to do so. He demands minding as can take overhead marks which most of our current tall forwards do not. He can feed the ball off to passing small forwards bringing them into the game. He's Not the strongest, most rugged, smartest, nor gutsiest, but at the moment, none of our mature bodied key forwards are all of those. That is why he is of use at this point of our team development.

    Backs: Bartram, Frawley, Bruce

    Half backs: Grimes, Rivers, McDonald

    Centreline: Green, Trengove, Davey

    Half forwards: Jones, Miller, Scully

    Forwards: Bennell, Watts, Morton

    In: Tom Scully, Jack Trengove, Matthew Bate

    Untill we have our tall forwards more physically developed than what we have at present, we can use players who'll give us at least what they have got to give.

    If Garland was actually fit then Rivers would have been dropped.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
