I thought they were taking 34 and I count 29. It will be hot and humid so I hope they have a few more fit boys to take up.

You might find we don't have 34 ready to play. When the coach stated this he had a fit Trengove, Morton and Sam Blease ready. After the first hit out a few other like Cook and Davis may pull up a bit sore and the other players missing are coming off rehab programs.

I know it's only NAB cup but geez it would be great to win the whole thing and give jimmy a possible "going away gift" if he doesn't have much time think he would be at peace watching what he has created over the past few years. Can't do any harm to play a good side and give it a nudge

i think a list of who isnt playing would be more interesting

Well, the obvious notable exclusions are Tapscott, Trengove, Jetta, Jurrah, McKenzie, Cook and Williams.

Wonder why Cook, Sheahan, Lawrence and Taggart have been left out.

Wouldnt this be a good opportunity for them?

I'm looking to see improvement in the following:

2 Nathan Jones- always has a go...needs to show better finishing

3 Clint Bartram- show better finishing

4 Jack Watts- take marks in dangerous space within the forwardline.

5 Jordan Gysberts- show he's taken another step in his development.

6 Matthew Bate- play like he's a 100 game midfielder.

11 Mitch Clark- see him in dees colours providing a focal poing.

16 Jack Grimes- poise and accurate kicking

30 James Sellar- show supporters he was worth the second chance.

36 Aaron Davey- See the Flash of Old..

44 Rohan Bail- has had a lot of injuries...needs to step up now. furfill his potential.

DB, heat might not be a factor but humidity will. Even when it rains it still can be very humid especially in Feb.

You're right, but the showers/rain the last day or so has cooled things down quite dramatically here. Should be quite the same come Saturday, so I don't think humidity should be too much of a factor.

No Jetta is interesting.

Should be good, looking forward to it...heading up to BrisVegas tomorrow and (weather permitting) will spend Saturday on the Gold Coast before the game.

Jetta has only just come out of the "dont touch me" vest. So maybe this is only precautionary. Tappy and Liam are the main worries because they seem to have been in the rehabilitating group all preseason.

That would be a pity and pretty typical of our luck to not even be able to fill a squad of fit players in the first contest of the year. Both Suns and Lions have 34 so we may have some really stuffed players on sunday.

I know its only 4 quarters but you have to take into account how many the opposition have/use and the weather. Hope its cooler than predicted.

Another reason it is disappointing is because less boys are getting the hit out and for the rookies the experience.

Doesn't matter too much though as regardless we will face two fresh squads since we have the first two games.

    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,
