WERRIDEE

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. B: JETTA, MAY, LEVER HB: SALEM, SMITH, RIVERS C : LANGDON, PETRACCA, TOMLINSON HF: PICKETT, JACKSON, JONES F: FRITSCH, T.MCDONALD, MELKSHAM FOLL: GAWN, OLIVER, VINEY IC: LOCKHART(BACK), HARMES(MID), BRAYSHAW(MID), BENNELL(FORWARD)

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. B: JETTA, MAY, LEVER HB: SALEM, SMITH, HIBBERD C : LANGDON, PETRACCA, TOMLINSON HF: PICKETT, T.MCDONALD, JONES F: MELKSHAM, WEIDEMAN, FRITSCH FOLL: GAWN, OLIVER, VINEY IC: LOCKHART(BACK), HARMES(MID), BRAYSHAW(MID), BENNELL(FORWARD) EMERG: O.MCDONALD, VANDENBERG, RIVERS, JACKSON

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?

6 - VINEY 5 - MAY 4 - O.MCDONALD 3 - LANGDON 2 - PICKETT 1 - LOCKHART

0.7 I think

Can't kick on too much money it's a no from me.

Pretty poor that the Melbourne website hasn't got a write up on the match sim.

Smith to replace Oscar? B: JETTA, MAY, LEVER HB: SALEM, SMITH, HIBBERD C : LANGDON, PETRACCA, TOMLINSON HF: PICKETT, JACKSON, JONES F: MELKSHAM, T.MCDONALD, FRITSCH FOLL: GAWN, OLIVER, VINEY IC: LOCKHART(BACK), HARMES(MID), BRAYSHAW(MID), HANNAN(FORWARD) EMRG: BENNELL, O.MCDONALD, RIVERS, WEIDEMAN

Anybody there that can fill us in?
