... now that we've added Rivers, Bartram and Whelan to our defence since Round 1. I guess we can also include Cam Bruce as he's playing on a hbf now.

Once these players are back playing with their usual assuredness, it will translate into less of those devastating turnovers which have been the bane of our 2008 season.

you're right.

wheatley playing good footy is a bonus. just need carrol and bell playing good footy also.

i would love to see one of Frawley of Stefan Martin chucked in to play against some quality forwards. we desperately need to find a backman who can play defensively on the best big forwards.

i how i wish we had Brian Lake, he is such a great player (i'd take a Nathan Brown from collingwood also).

Whelan gives us something we miss more than anything. A carrier to run the ball out of the backline and into attack. When wheels is playing, we see less chipping around. His forwardline pressure is to die for, which could result in higher opposition turnovers in our back 50.

Rivers is our best backman, no doubt. He is the general out there, and is accountable for cutting off poor entries into our back 50, and gettting the ball out with minimal effort.

Having the duo back will also lift the great nathan carroll (no joke, he is my pick for B&F so far, he has marked just about everything!!!) and Daniel Bell.

Surely you jest... Carroll cost us about 5 goals last week all by himself which is the amount we lost by

He was decent in round 2 though

  • PREVIEW: Brisbane

    They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.
