Could Howe line-up on Jamie Elliot this week? who'll take a specky on who?

Elliot is a freak, will probably stand on Dunn's head at some stage.

Too bad Howe will be standing on Elliot's head at the same moment with the ball clinched to his chest.

Elliott is definitely a freakish player but so is Howe. His goalkicking though, unlike Elliott, leaves a little to be desired.

Our roar will lift Howie to new heights!

Yeah Elliot is a handy little forward..and only goes the ball. Would have him at Melb.

Howe is turning into a very handy backman who stops the ball dead with his grabs in there!

Our backline is strong even with Chip slotting goals its still a strong backline.

Garlo is getting fitness back...with Tommy..and Dunny becoming reliable backs....it goes alright down there.

They are both taking about 5/6 marks a game - the difference is that Elliot leads up and takes quite a few hit up marks.

Howe has taken a lot more contested marks than Elliot.

I think Jetta might get first crack at him.

I would have thought Jetta would get Blair.

Love your work DA, enjoying Roland Garros ? Other than our habitual Aussie losers of course.

Haven't been able to catch much of it Smithy, more interested in Wimbledon around the corner.

You'd be loving the improvement you're seeing at the mighty Dees wouldn't you Smithy? Are we out of the mire?

I'm reluctant to get too excited mate for reasons you well know but it does seem that way.

In a strange twisted way, maybe the fact that Clark and Hogan have missed has been the making of this list.

Much better midfield, Dawes has been good and Pedersen is a revelation.

Then there is the Roos factor.

I'm tempted to be roused.

This will give BT the opportunity to talk about 'the dukes'.

"You've gotta put the dukes out Richo"..
