Well, Round 1 is upon us

First, my suggested team to take on the hapless Dorks

Its a shame that Sylvia wont be playing, as I was looking forward more than anything to seeing him show the competition he has arrived with a monster game to open the season. But alas.

B - Bartram Carroll Bell

HB - Wheatley Rivers Petterd

C - Bruce Jones Green

HF - Robertson Dunn Garland

F - Newton Neitz Davey

R - White McLean McDonald

I/C - Moloney Meesen Buckley Yze

Emer - Whelan Holland Miller

I am expecting Bruce and McLean to pull their fingers out of their pooper and give us plenty of drive from the middle. These 2 guys really have to hit top form for us to be good all year.

Aaron Davey to run riot. I firmly believe this is his year.

One of the Glen-fairies to try and do something tough, before being ironed out by the big skipper and being stretchered off the ground.

Buckley to electrify the crowd with some scinitillating runs through the corridor.

Moloney, Jones and Junior to dominate the stoppages.

Bartram to remind u just how damn good he was in 2006.

Bell and Rivers to do their thing, and dominate in the air and on the ground.

Campbell Brown isn't playing. Does that void your prediction YM?

Regardless of our pre season this is the final nail in the coffin for us. We're done for in this game now

dont think bate will be there- hammy

Ahhhh i miss these over the summer.

Great work by Bate to kick a goal without being selected in the side. I think I have underestimated his ability!

By the way Miller will play.

Opps, my bad. Have edited original post

He will play

In a couple of weeks time.

Great stuff Yze_Magic

You failed to mention the shock move of the day.

In an act of desperation by the Dorks, Buddy Franklin will be moved to CHB after Half time to try and stop a rampaging Brad Miller

Will that be before or after Jamar dominates the ruck and picks up 30 disposals around the ground? And at what stage of the game will the flying spaghetti monster make an appearance?

Have you bought your membership yet Yze_Magic?

No, Jaded

I always buy it at the gate in Round 1. Its tradition.

By the way, I spoke to Chris Connolly on the phone about half an hour ago. Bate definitely wont play, so I have edited my team to accomodate this

I just threw up in my mouth a little...

Thanks for the laugh, Yze_Magic *hug*

He still kicked a goal, this kid just doesn't give up! Can't wait til he actually gets a game this season, will kick 20.

the FSM will not make a public appearance unless there are many pirates there to worship him. The FSM has been busy around the rest of the world creating bad weather and natural disastors as a warning to us all that there are not enough pirates. To think his noodley appendage would make an appearance at a mere football game is wishful thinking indeed...
