WERRIDEE

I'm hilarious

Congrats Nev on 150 games. Let's hope you can celebrate by keeping Eddie Betts quiet.

Just great our most exciting prospect in years gets suspended. We have no one in the emergencies that can cover him. I too hope Bedford gets a game as a result.

Adelaide will be near the bottom they won't give pick 3 or 4 for Sparrow and Petty. Port may have pick 11 or 12. If we can get a pick like that for a kid that won't get a game in our midfield and an injury prone tall I would take it.

I know it's early but I thought it would be a little fun to predict trades, promotions and delistings. TRADE WEIDEMAN FOR DANIHER. I know Daniher is a free agent but we can do what Geelong did with Dangerfield and trade for him. SPARROW AND PETTY FOR PORT'S FIRST RND PICK. O.MCDONALD FOR A 3RD RND PICK HUNT FOR A 3RD RND PICK DELIST SPARGO HIBBERD KOLODJASHNIJ C.WAGNER J.WAGNER PROMOTE BENNELL LOCKHART BRADTKE SENIOR LIST MAY JONES SALEM HARMES PETRACCA JACKSON VINEY LEVER DANIHER BRAYSHAW GAWN BEDFORD OLIVER FIRST RND PICK LANGDON SECOND RND PICK BENNELL MELKSHAM HANNAN TOMLINSON PREUSS VANDENBERG JORDON RIVERS MCDONALD 3RD RND PICK NEITSCHKE 3RD RND PICK 3RD RND PICK NEAL-BULLEN FRITSCH BAKER HORE BRADTKE PICKETT JETTA LOCKHART SMITH ROOKIE CHANDLER (3RD YEAR) BROWN (SECOND YEAR) DUNKLEY (3RD YEAR) ROOKIE (RND 1) ROOKIE (RND 2) ROOKIE (RND 3)

Strong side I like it. Hunt was a bit of a surprise though. I thought he was finished maybe they want some heroics like the last time they played. Good to see them make a stand on Hibberd he's been ordinary for far too long, hopefully it's a wake up call for players like Jetta who was poor against West Coast. Lockhart very stiff to miss.

We now have a lot better team on the park than we did in RND 1 Brown and Spargo played that game they are about our 40th and 41st best player. We will win comfortably and we will win our next 4 games. We have our best team on the park for over a year. ENJOY IT!

Excited by this team I Haven't been this excited since the finals. I think we will have a good year. We should beat Carlton easily. Predicted team.

With Hore, Preuss and Petty out. It doesn't look good for Petty. I have had to change the team. B: C.WAGNER, J.WAGNER, CHANDLER HB: RIVERS, HUNT, BAKER C : , VANDENBERG, HF: HANNAN, BRADTKE, NEAL-BULLEN F: BEDFORD, BROWN, SPARGO FOLL: JACKSON, SPARROW JORDON IC: DUNKLEY

I think that one of them will play and the other will be carryover emergency. So I don't think either will play.

It's suppose to be about 16 a side so this is what the team could look like. B: J.WAGNER, HORE, CHANDLER HB: RIVERS, HUNT, BAKER C : , VANDENBERG, HF: HANNAN, JACKSON, NEAL-BULLEN F: BEDFORD, PETTY, BROWN FOLL: PREUSS, SPARROW, JORDON IC: SPARGO, DUNKLEY, C.WAGNER, BRADTKE

Interested in the concept? Will they play the full games on the Dees website? There is no other way of watching the reserves play. Is there a way to persuade them to play the games on the Dees website.

The main thing is Goodwin said he was right to go.

I've changed the side due to the match sim.

He'll still get dropped for Smith as he is a better player.

Tell me a losing coach that plays out his contract? None. If we can't beat Carlton we will be bottom 4 so he won't last the year. Richo will take over warming the seat for Yze. It doesn't matter anyway we will beat Carlton and have a good year.

no he won't

The report said he was a defender it didn't mention him spending the entire game there. According to Chaplin we play 7 backs. Jetta, May, Lever, Salem, Smith, Hibberd and Lockhart make 7 allowing Harmes to spend more time in the midfield you would think. I hope we don't go too defensive with Harmes down back as well and considering O.Mac will be stiff to miss out.

I think Bedford is a certainty to be dropped along with Brown, Spargo and ANB. He only showed something in the last 5 minutes of the West Coast game when he smothered the ball and handpassed it to Kossie. I thought Hannan was a chance but reading Lever's comments I think it's slim. It will be a great story to see Bennell line up for the Dees.

I saw him in the centre square in the highlights. He was needed down back against West Coast but with Salem coming in I think he will play his customary role in the midfield with only patches down back.

Wait and see how we go against the Blues. If we can't score against them we are in big trouble their backline is ordinary. Goodwin has 1 last chance a failure against the Blues then he's gone.

Yes he did only 5 didn't play according to Lever.

With Hannan playing so poorly you would think Bennell would be in the box seat to take the last spot as the 7th forward. I am really interested in what Lever says.

Great write up! How did Chandler, Hannan and Bedford go? Who gets the spot? Hibberd or Rivers?
