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 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)

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!

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!

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!!!

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.

When you look at it like that - it's going to be a huge challenge....

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?

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.

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.

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

    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,
