Great to see Petterd back in the team,and i hope he can cement his spot in the 22 and stay clear of injury

*Sigh*

Another week without McLean

Great news for Petterd, while Warnock is pretty stiff considering his replacement is Ferguson!

I think it is best for Mclean that he is 100% ready before he comes back. You probably would have expected Warnock to get dropped, its just the same story as CJ.

Ferguson is a better footballer than Holland and Warnock. He has suffered through injury at important times in his career. He is perceived as being too slow for AFL football. He has also been extremely effective on occasions, is as courageous as they come, knows how to spoil from sometimes impossible positions and gives his all. I'm happy to see him given a go in place of the only bloke who should keep him out of this team.

Warnock is rubbish, won't make the grade.

Good to see wrecker is back though, his importance in the team is so underrated by others its not funny. And my man Pedro is back, now to decide whether to start him or J Selwood in my dreamteam!

dam no mclean ... and your correct jaded Warnock is a bit stiff although ferg always gives his best...

i ams till not sure about Warnock but at least we could end up with a better player than ferg

we wont know until he has a few games in a row ...

good to see petard and wrecker there... infact extremely good about pettard im hoping a big game for him lets see how he goes against a top 4 side...

*Sigh*

Another week without McLean

After this week week we have:

v Kangaroos MCG

v Adelaide MCG

v Collingwood MCG

v Richmond MCG

v Essendon TD

v Carlton MCG

I don't mind us giving our youngsters a go at Subi vs the best team in the comp to make sure that our future captain is right for these games.

great to see my man wheels back. he is ridiculously underrated it's true! worrying to see him named on the bench, while since i've seen that!

interesting though! fluke a win and we could end up 7-7, 5-9. both with finals potential. now i know it's a lot of optimism but crows at the g, and pies at the g, are both winnable games with out full team out there with confidence. this season isn't over!

Hmm, maybe you're thinking of Wheatley? I don't think anyone on here underrates Whelan.

nah don't mean on here, there's a world outside demonland, a dark horrible one at that. i mean in the media, other fans, amount of times i cop the 'who's whelan?' isn't funny

we could be 6 and 8 after that...pity we didnt get up against one of the dogs or port, or both. we could have been 8 and 6 i didnt think we were out of it at 0-5, but we are a long way off yet.

WC will be tough this week, and i cant see us winning it...but as long as we give it a red hot crack...

I dont mean to jinx it, but Yze_Magic hasnt posted his why we will win by 5 goals thread...

Maybe we are in with a chance. :D

Maybe we are in with a chance. :D

he posted it early on this week...monday i think...and it said 'we'd be close at 3 quarter time, and then get smashed in the last...

We've gone a little bit smaller than I expected, but I like the fact Jones and Petterd are both getting a run.

with warnock, holland and ferguson all proven that they won't be the answer to our k.p.p problems for a future premiership side, it just makes frawleys development so much more important. we need another tall backman behind rivers and carrol, i hope he is the answer.

mclean and robbo back next week means it will probably be our best 22
