With the likes of Swallow, matera, prestia, bennell,day, Mckenzie, Thompson, malceski, Martin, smith I'll think they can cope with out or two. They'll be top 4 or near enough for the next 5 years thanks to the ridiculous draft concessions they got

Can't believe we didnt draft Freeman

fair enough mate. you're a braver man than I am

So maybe Frost and Gawn will be completing for the one spot (forward/2nd ruck). interesting

would you tell Magner to his face that he has been ordinary and he was delisted for a reason? bring your scooter if you do! he's a big bloke [brian Taylor reckons he built East Link - haha good one Bristle you kn0b]

just looking at my team for round one and its difficult to leave players out for the first time in 8 years When Howe/Vince are back, we could be leaving out players such as Toumpas, Frost, JKH, Bail. Cant remember this ever being the case.

no magner or clisby

Misso said they ideally want 2 1/2 games into most players up for round 1 selection. so I guess the guys who were subbed the last 2 weeks will play full games and the others mgiht be likely to be rested or play a half. I reckon Pedo and Dawes might get a half each

Vince has 10+ preseasons under his belt. even at 80% he get picked over some of our bottom 6 Howe is a freak of an athlete so I dont expect him to need 5 more weeks of training and 3-4 casey games to be right either fingers crossed

Howe and Vince listed as a test. They should be able to get a Casey game in prior to round one. They did a fair bit of pre-season and they are senior guys so I reckon they could play round 1. Vince, Howe getting closer to return So by round one we have Trenners out and 2 first year players. Great result MFC, well done!***touching wood/crossing fingers***

3 game memberships are BS and shouldn't be counted

Afl are trialling a shot clock count down when someone takes a shot and worst of all the umpires will be broadcast over the PA when explaining free kicks. Good lord! Should we just call it the NFL now? Hearing the umps yell play on incessantly on to is bad enough!

Was tongue in cheek

looks like we might reach our ambitious target of 30,000 by round 1 !! over 29,000 now.

Looks like watts on for Newton

Don't get why the dogs have rested senior guys with already having injuries. This can't be good for their preparation or confidence

Jetta great play off half back

Anyone else see Grimes and T Mac hit nice low perfect passss? Good to see Salem is officially my new fav player

I dont doubt he has depression and I feel for him. I also dont doubt he is a pr!ck that screwed us over. from my unfortunately extensive personal experience with depression - and im generalising here - usually stability is recommended, not change when very depressed. Being around people you know and that can support you helps massively. One of the most stress inducing things is changing your job or surroundings when depressed. So unless MFC was physically or mentally abusive place I dont buy the change of scenery BS until I know more this will continue to be my opinion (fair or unfair). Those that think he only played well coz it was Cheney are kidding themselves. He bossed every defender he was on in his few games for the Dees. He'll get 60+ goals this year if he stays on the park

I would luv it if we beat Geelong Luv it!

Scenario. Apologies. I've been drinking- Maybe living up to the dub in my name Cloke retires from Collingwood due to depression. Few months later signs with the Hawks. I'm assuming this gets the same reaction as Clark is getting??

Thanks for the training report. You guys are legends. On the 4 years with misson. Surely we are now fit?!? We won't hear any talk of we just couldn't run out games etc. surely?!

So if you know the reason can you fill us in?

What a cvnt. Retired my ar$e. I have the upmost respect for people that carry on with depression but this is beyond his illness. He chose to retire and walk out on us. See any dees players tweeting tonight saying congrats? Put money on him for the Coleman
