Don't care what anyone says, we are a better team with Jetta in it.

Tell you what, we've been left in no doubt about Goodwin's attacking game plan. Jetta in makes me happy, Hannan is a surprise good luck to the kid, may he kick goals with his first three kicks. J

Team has been selected.

There are some big surprises!!!

That is all I can say.

A big surprise would be someone who didn't play JLT like Hannan.

If Tyson's out because "he's underdone", then it would be a surprise to see Kent who has had even less exposure.

Smith hardly a surprise with the injuries we have back there to medium talls.

Reading Goodwin's player reviews I think he likes ANB's pre-season and he may play ahead of others.

What is his skill that hurts the opposition? I don't see one.

At best he is serviceable IMO.

I don't have the mag with me so I can't exactly quote it but in essence Goodwin said he'd had a great pre-season and really plays the game the way we want it to be played.  I think he's a bit vanilla too but I'm just trying to read the tea leaves.

If Watts is not selected it is another stuff up by the new management. (The other was the co-captaincy)

Watts is clearly best 22... ok he could be better.... but this will make the weekend all about Watts and not about team improvement.

Hopefully Watts is selected... we have a win and can get the season away to a decent start. MFCSS says otherwise of course !!

Anyone who didn't play JLT and isn't considered "best 22" would be a big surprise:  Hannan, Pedersen, Kennedy, Trengove.  Jetta / Tyson / Kent / Garlett all have an element of surprise by virtue of limited JLT / Casey time.  We shall see.....

This has been a terrific pre-season in my view. Ive enjoyed it anyway. :)

The new frantic hard hitting approach must lead to a better start of season than any I can remember for at least 10 years.

Im happy to back the best 22 pinned onto the changeroom wall this afternoon.

Just tell us you [snip]

Rumours starting to pop up that maybe Hannan might debut.  Watts doing extra ruck duties at training. Guess we'll find out pretty soon.

All this anticipation coupled with some supposed surprises has me so worked up!

It's a real bonus living in WA and getting the teams announced 3 hours earlier than Vic.

    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,
