Except from The Age

The Dees will be close to full strength against Fremantle with only Bernie Vince (hamstring), Jeremy Howe (hamstring), Dean Terlich, Jack Fitzpatrick and Jack Trengove (foot) sitting out the match.

Have they forgotten someone? Mr. Watts.

and viney

All over, was a blowing out the cobwebs session nothing more. No drills, just shots at goal and kick to kick.

How did that get past the auto censor?

Stupid question, but is the game being televised?

Your opinion

and mine...

From tomorrow night onwards Salem will become everyones top 5.

I've always thought this kid is the best kid I've seen us draft.

There are no flaws in his game, I've watched him since juniors and he has a blend of polish and toughness - a rare blend.

Freo will be a big test for him though. One of the best forward pressure teams raring to go plus he'll likely have a half decent opponent to defend against. But if he gets the defensive support and midfield options then he should excite. First game as a defender at AFL level though so I'm just cooling expectations a bit.

A Draw

After that Melb. on the up.

Id pick a win except I don't want to be disappointed

A draw ?Well if we win Ill be even happier

Just don't want to raise my expectations

After we lose wait for the wrist slashing on the site!

What loss??

What time is the game? it says 4:10 on the website, but i'm presuming that is Perth time.

7:10 on the east coast

Unless of course you're on that part of the east coast that doesn't have daylight savings. 6.10 for those behind the banana curtain.

Harmes (and also someone like Aidan Riley) are in a pretty heavy logjam of inside midfield/half forward types. Without Watts and Vince the numbers of outside running types are pretty low. Maybe Lumumba, Toumpas and Matt Jones as wing types. I think there's enough difference in the roles to justify the selection, not to mention that Stretch has looked very good.

yeh good point, those injuries are really highlighting our weaknesses. guys like toumpas might be able to play a role like that, good oppertunity for other to stand up. petty howe is out.

Let us hope that Toumpas becomes another one!

The Toump looked tidy today with everything he did but to be honest I'm surprised, if not a little disappointed, that he's still a bit of a runt amongst the group.

If he can lay a tackle and shake a loose ball to our advantage I'll be super impressed. The whole inside / outside argument is becoming invalid nowadays. Mids need to have both facets to their games and the build to accompany them.

McQ did you notice Toumpas' set shots how he waves the ball around during the run up, didn't look very orthodox.

I didn't take notice of that mate. If he slots them then who cares. Hogan looks pretty awkward as well..

Col Garland to play forward?

Food sucks there, in my opinion. Although i love the rooftop.

I am intrigued tonight more so to see the game time that we get into players legs, hopefully we will see less skill errors but seeing as it is the first round of the NAB cup and it has been pretty clear in all the earlier rounds it will be a scrappy affair, which suggests Fremantle could well lock it in their forward half.

Is that a good place CBDees? How's the food?

I'm back visiting from the USA & not familiar with Melbourne sports bars etc.. Recommendations from anyone most appreciated.

Was thinking of the Bentleigh club as it's nearby?

Thanks

I expected a touch better at the line.. +18.5 at $1.90.

Nevertheless I've dropped a $150 on us for good measure.

I am reasonably confident we get within 3 goals with Fyfe, Sandilands out and a Roos vs Lyon game of defensive tactics.

These coaches won't let the shackles off just because it is NAB cup, they are both men of structures, discipline and defense.
