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.

Results

Melbourne 21.15 141

Hawthorn 13.12 90

Goals - Neitz Davey Newton 4, Buckley Robertson 2, Bruce McLean Dunn Moloney Meesen

Best - Davey, Jones, Buckley, Rivers, Bell, Bruce, Newton, McLean

Davey - 24 touches, 4 goals

McLean - 27 touches, 8 tackles

Buckley - 18 touches, 2 goals

Jones - 22 touches, 6 tackles

Newton - 14 touches, 11 marks, 4 goals 4 behinds

Injuries - NONE

Demons by 51 points. Bailey starts his coaching career in grand fashion.

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.

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

Opps, my bad. Have edited original post

Whose the bloke at CHF then?

You mean the one limping around?

He will play

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? :rolleyes:

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...

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
