WERRIDEE

You expecting us to lose that's a lot of outs for round 2. You don't even have Baker in your round 1 team how can he be dropped when he isn't in the team in the first place.

With Pickett he's still training even though it's by himself I think he'll be right.

I think he is

With Melksham now injured for a month at least too much of a risk to risk him for round 1 that now makes it 4 players out in Hore, Weideman, Ben Brown and Melksham here is my new team.

With number 48 made famous by Jack Fitzpatrick given to Farmer I wonder what numbers Daw and Smith will get? My guess is Deakyn will get 47 made famous by Tom Couch and Majak will get 28 made famous by Oscar McDonald.

How long is he out for? I thought we didn't train today?

The 2000 final v Carlton where Green and Bruce tore them apart is my favorite.

I can't see Mitch or Daw getting a game early. I still think Melksham is best 22. McDonald and Jackson are the talls Fritsch as the 3rd tall Spargo and Pickett as the small forwards and Neal-Bullen on the bench. They will go taller when Weideman and Ben Brown get back into the side.

Hunt is playing down back

never he's a gun.

No Viney, Brayshaw, Hibbed, Melksham or Pickett they will all play.

Good news stability is what we need and we got it.

Sorry spelling mistake.

I forgot that there are 5 on the bench so you can put Petrevski as the extra small forward but she's injured so McEvoy replaces her.

Thanks you told me all I need to know.

It makes me sick it should be us up there.

I'll give it a shot B: COLVIN, BIRCH HB: D.PEARCE, DOWNIE, GOLDRICK C: HEATH, HANKS, GAY HF: BANNAN, SCOTT, HORE F: ZANKAR, CUNNINGHAM FOLL: L.PEARCE, PAXMAN, MITHEN IC: PARRY, MCNAMARA, LAMPARD, SHERRIFF Emonson replaces Downie other than that I think we have our strongest side.

Now we picked up Daw I think our list is settled with the probable recruitment of D.Smith and Farmer.

I don't understand the angst about him not being drafted. Not everybody can be drafted. Freo's loss is our gain he can't train for both.

I don't know what to think of this. Back up ruckman to Gawn and a utility at both ends. Seems ok but he's 29. We already have Mitch.Brown do we need 2 old rookies?

Great win by the Dees especially considering it was a contender in North. Pearce and Goldrick great down back Hanks, Mithen and Paxman sublime against a star studded midfield and Hore and Parry really good up forward.
