Why not Neal-Bullen he was hopeless?

I thought Newnes would get a game.

Pittonet will take his place.

If we get rid of any of our top 25 players the club is a disgrace. We finished 2nd last we shouldn't have a problem with the salary cap. Players that we must keep. JETTA, MAY, LEVER, SALEM, O.MCDONALD, HIBBERD, LANGDON, PETRACCA, TOMLINSON, PICKETT, T.MCDONALD, JONES, MELKSHAM, WEIDEMAN, FRITSCH, GAWN, OLIVER, VINEY, HARMES, BRAYSHAW, LOCKHART, BENNELL, PETTY, VANDENBERG AND HANNAN.

ANB won't play he's been dropped before and he will be dropped again. There are 26 players in front of him IMO and that's depending on how Bennell and Vanders are tracking. OMac is Goody's pet but even knowing that he deserves his spot with the job he did on Darling.

Just watched the first quarter of the West Coast game and boy was Langdon's poster from 30 meters out was costly. We would have been in front if he goaled instead West Coast kick 4 goals in 3 minutes game over.

The extra interchange will help out Bennell, not how far away Vanders is but it would help him too.

O.Mac was good last time while ANB was poor far from a certainty.

B: JETTA, MAY, LEVER HB: SALEM, O.MCDONALD, HIBBERD C : LANGDON, PETRACCA, TOMLINSON HF: PICKETT, T.MCDONALD, JONES F: MELKSHAM, WEIDEMAN, FRITSCH FOLL: GAWN, OLIVER, VINEY IC: HARMES, BRAYSHAW, LOCKHART, PETTY EMERG: BEDFORD, HANNAN, NEAL-BULLEN, SMITH With Stevens ruling Bennell out that's good enough for me. Petty comes in as the 3rd tall as he could do some damage with T.Mac who has a good record against the Blues. Lockhart breathing down Hibberd's neck if he doesn't perform soon he could be replaced. CARLTON B: DOCHERTY, JONES, PLOWMAN HB: SIMPSON, MARCHBANK, WEITERING C : MURPHY, CRIPPS, NEWNES HF: MARTIN, MCKAY, DOW F: BETTS, MCGOVERN, GIBBONS FOLL: PITTONET, WALSH, E.CURNOW IC: NEWMAN, PETREVSKI-SETON, KENNEDY, CASBOULT

You forgot '98 that was the best era.

None are really close. The top 4 seems to be set with Richmond, West Coast, GWS and Collingwood. Both can make it in the bottom half of the 8 with a host of other sides.

I'd prefer Yze has been under the coach of the century. Hawthorn have a pretty good record with their assistant coaches with the exception of Bolton.

Put your money on Adelaide they are ****house. Gold Coast will probably win it they are a few years away from being competitive.

Good luck to Crossy and Rooke they tried their best.

If Bennell doesn't play I would play Petty. He could be damaging as the 3rd tall. Jones and Salem in for sure. Spargo and Neal-Bullen have had plenty of chances must be dropped. Weideman should come in for Brown. Bedford the unlucky one to be out, he showed good defensive pressure but either Bennell if fit should play he averages 21 disposals and a goal a game they don't grow on trees, or Petty should take his spot with Hannan as the smokey.

3 weeks away to the season starts what will the round 2 team be? I'll have a stab. B: JETTA, MAY, LEVER HB: SALEM, O.MCDONALD, HIBBERD C : LANGDON, PETRACCA, TOMLINSON HF: PICKETT, T.MCDONALD, JONES F: MELKSHAM, WEIDEMAN, FRITSCH FOLL: GAWN, OLIVER, VINEY IC: HARMES, BRAYSHAW, LOCKHART, BENNELL EMERG: PETTY, BEDFORD, HANNAN, NEAL-BULLEN

I agree that the less coaches the but it will simplify things and make it a better. Let the excitement machines do what they do best and not over complicate it like Pickett and Petracca can do.

Wight and Hardeman could play above their height. Neitz is our leading goalkicker he should be at full forward.

Lyon could play anywhere tall or small he spent time in the midfield. Can't fit Grinter in that team thought S.Febey was a better player.

B: FOWLER, WIGHT, JOHNSON HB: B.LOVETT, HARDEMAN, S.FEBEY C : TINGAY, WELLS, FLOWER (C) HF: LYON (VC), SCHWARZ, YZE F: FARMER, NEITZ, DAVEY FOLL: GAWN, T.VINEY, JONES IC: STYNES, J.MCDONALD, GREEN, ALVES EMERG: WILSON, ROBERTSON, JAKOVICH, WHITE

It's a great team.

Bennell, Vandenberg, Hannan and Smith will be back by then and Preuss is already back.

Leave out the worst 13 so that would be Dunkley, Bradtke, C.Wagner, Brown, Chandler, J.Wagner, Baker, Hunt, Neitschke, Jordon, Preuss, Kolodjashnij, Spargo

Trengove couldn't get his own ball. It should have been Scully and Martin.
