Mousey 47 Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 hmm where is our first 3 picks in particular Cale Morton? I know grimes is injured and Maric probably school commitments but yeah Morton? Anyone?

I know grimes is injured and Maric probably school commitments but yeah Morton? Anyone? I noticed a theme/ quality for all of the new guys included - They can probably all handle themselves better "physically" The last thing you want is one of our talented draft picks to get broken like a twig, and both Morton and Maric are both 17 year olds (with Grimes not 100% yet)
Freak 100 Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 quite simply, morton is too skinny to play just yet. That's my guess anyway.

Mousey 47 Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Im really excited about Martin as a prospect for a key defender for us and i haven't even seen him play yet so im just judging by what i have read and his measurements and background so i could be just getting excited about nothing but i dont care... FOoty is back and im so pumped ....been way to long!
Spin-it-to-Goodwin-it 579 Posted February 14, 2008 Author Posted February 14, 2008 No Petterd, C.Johnson, Dunn? They must be not quite 100%, given the guys that are listed??
Nasher 33,686 Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Ahhh, I'm really excited now. Can't wait to see some of these kids play.
beelzebub 23,392 Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Demonscoast...possibly another way of looking at those exclusions is that we sort of know what they can do. Heres a chances for some newbies to step up and display their wares. damn shame its in bloody Geelong.. ah well.. crank the telly...

Totally agree with you....super excited to get a look at these guys! :D ....Just so long as we don't get pumped The exclusions are somewhat of a suprise though, cause I haven't heard any talk of them having injuries/ soreness? Let it rip Demons!
The Fergburger 0 Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 I am so excited to see Valenti and Meesen. Valenti was a standout for Sandy last year and i recken he could play as an inside midfielder (as brock is injured) along side Jonesy. He would win alot of the ball. IMO we will probably play White and Meesenas our two ruckman. Jamar has shown us nothing over the last few years and is lucky to be on our list so i think Meesen will get the nod ahead of him. I am not too sure what to expect from the other debutants as i have never seen them play. GO DEES!!!
JACKATTACK 17 Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 I would like to see the average age of this group, this is a very young list.
Bring-Back-Powell 15,577 Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Geelong are missing the following from their best '22': Joel Corey Corey Enright Matty Scarlett Paul Chapman Matty Egan Max Rooke Joel Selwood Travis Varcoe Melbourne are missing the following from their best '22': Cam Bruce Brock McLean Matty Whelan Jared Rivers Brent Moloney Lynden Dunn Paul Wheatley Ricky Petterd Nathan Carroll David Neitz Geelong have got a couple of midfielders out like us, but I think the game will be won in Geelong's foward line with Mooney, Hawkins and Steve Johnson running riot.

I'm scared. I counted 10 players key position players or players who play tall, plus 4 ruckmen. We are seriously light on for quality midfielders.

I'm trying to find something positive to say, and I can't find anything sensible: We'll catch them napping? " do it on pure heart? We had two more weeks training than them? Kate Ceberano will address/ undress the guy's in the change rooms pre-match and inspire us to victory? Robbo will mesmerize his opponent with his vocal ability and kick us to victory? Dean Bailey is actually the Messiah, and has come down to earth to help rid the Melbournefc of bad Karma, starting Saturday? We've trained for the interchange rule throughout the whole pre-season because DB is psychic? Anyone got a good reason why we can win?
dazzledavey36 56,441 Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 wow trent zomer! didn't see that coming.. 3 rookie list players intresting? what happened to jake 'big dick' spencer?? colin sylvia!! u lil beauty
Bring-Back-Powell 15,577 Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Anyone like to have a go at the team: My version: B Warnock Holland Bode HB Bell Miller Green C Buckley Valenti Davey HF Sylvia Newton Bate F Aussie Robbo Yze FOLL White McDonald Jones Int Frawley Jamar P Johnson Garland Cheney Meeson Martin Weetra McNamara and Zomer to miss the cut. I just spoke with Dean Bailey and I've advised him to run the following on Saturday: Frawley to rotate with Warnock deep in defence Meeson to get more ruck-time than White, even though we're starting him on the bench. Jamar to get 15 minutes in the ruck PJ to help out in defence or attack (if we have no targets up fwd) Garland to help out in defence Cheney to release Green into the midfield Martin to rotate with Miller Weetra to swap with Aussie. Sylvia, Bate and possibly Bell and Bode will have to help out in the midfield as we are seriously light on.
The Emblem 1 Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Not bad...question mark over carrying 4 ruckmen though

You're not far off the mark BBP. I'd have Frawley in the back pocket and Warnock on the bench. If you look at the interchange, where's our midfield rotation come from? We are way too top heavy.
Spin-it-to-Goodwin-it 579 Posted February 14, 2008 Author Posted February 14, 2008 Anyone like to have a go at the team: Here's mine: BODE HOLLAND FRAWLEY BELL MILLER BUCKLEY YZE GREEN WEETRA SYLVIA NEWTON BATE MEESON ROBERTSON DAVEY FOLL: WHITE JONES MCDONALD INT: CHENEY VALENTI WONAEAMIRRI GARLAND P.JOHNSON McNAMARA MARTIN ZOMER MISS: JAMAR WARNOCK (On the basis that I want to see the rookies get a go while they can)

If you look at the interchange, where's our midfield rotation come from? We are way too top heavy. Yes, and it again highlights the backline conundrum when Rivers is not in the mix. Some things I'd like to see Chapman V Cheney...big challenge but a great litmus test, two hard nuts Hawkins V Zomer / Martin...all raw, all big Mooney V whoever...DB's response to this challenge will be fascinating to see. Roll on Saturday
Spin-it-to-Goodwin-it 579 Posted February 14, 2008 Author Posted February 14, 2008 Chapman V Cheney...big challenge but a great litmus test, two hard nuts Chapman's not playing
The Emblem 1 Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Chapman's not playing RUNNING SCARED ALREADY :
