holland is a hack! worst footballer in the comp! id rather take godders then this pretty boy who for everytime i see him takes his shirt off! his bum buddy dale thomas aint far behind he is just as worse! most overated player in the AFL

I reckon Bell's strong pre-season will pay off, I hope he continues his form that he did late last year and have an even better one.

i swear thats you danny hughes

good summary Dappa Dan! and Jaded id add ricky petterd to that list.. i think he will make his debut before Newton, but like Dp said if he strings a game or two in the nab cup and kick a few goals then theres no doubt he will play coz he has the amazing talent newton does

Frawley and Petterd are 2 that will be played early by the sounds of it but weetra could surprise!

hey thats what i thought aswell!! well danny mate if ya want to game a fewgames for the mighty dees ya got to put in the hard yards mate hehe

well how was his form yesterday at the intra clun match? i believed he matched upon daniel ward

Were all those players just injured or resting?

oh ok

oh dont you worry guys il still be asking about my kids! lol nar but like i said i was highly impressed and pumped! go dees!!

Sure will my good friend. Heath Neville is interesting as he has a bit of speed. From what i hear from match reports he plays on the back flank. One thing for sure is that he has got good skills from what I saw. He reminds me a bit of Daniel Bell ATM. If he can play a few games he could turn out to be a good player! He and Belly streaming out of our defence is something I can see happening one day. I have high hopes for this kid and I'm hoping he can play a senior game this year. Didn't really notice much of Hayes but from what I saw he has a good turn of speed and has the freakish skills. If he could turn out like Davey then we have one damaging forward line! Athletes vs footballers - take your pick? I for one would pick footballers! Jace Bode came to the club with an impressive record at under 18 level and a very impressive athletics career. but the downside is that he is definitely more an athlete! He just went through training and had that attitude where he looked as if he doesn't give a stuff. I was pretty disappointed and you would think given another year on the rookie list because of interstate crap or something he would be busting out of his skin! I hope not picking up Alywn Davey will not haunt us! Only time will tell.

Ok, here its goes:- Well first of all I must say it was the first time since 2000 (when they came to Barooga) that I got up close and personal, and by jeez they are all looking fit! I spoke to a heap of players but the one that really stood out for me is Jared Rivers. The guy is so laid back. He said that this year is the year where we make a big name of ourselves and that we should cement a top 4 spot. This was the first time I have watched Melbourne train and I was hugely impressed! Brock McLean looks like a million dollars and you just just have that feeling he will one day be captain. I have never seen someone so young who could give out orders and direct intsructions in the way that he did! James Frawley is going to be one big unit and from watching him train I rate this kid highly! Yes, he does have an unco kicking style but the funny thing is he hit his target practically every time. He has that physique where he could turn out to be as big as Neitz or Holland one day. He will play this year mark my words. Isaac Weetra is another who impressed me! He is very quick and has great skills, so I wouldn't be surprised if he played this year. I'm not gonna put a big head on this kid but I seriously reckon he has all the tools to become a very damaging player. I have a feeling just from watching him that he could be the next Travis Johnstone but quicker! He moves so well and just has that knack of being where the ball is. Lynden Dunn moves a lot more like a midfielder than a forward which really surprised me! He hasn't really bulked up that much but he looks like he can really make an impact this year and eventually turn out to be a great player. He showed some good skills. Well basically all the players trained really well! They all looked fit and healthy and very hungry for success. Yze, Miller, Brown and Robbo look like they will have a big year this year, and I have high hopes for these guys. Our young guys I reckon are just as good as anyone in the comp! Bate, McLean, Jones, Dunn, Bartram, CJ are all able to lift to another level this year. Go Dees!

Just one thing for those who watched the game last night, does pickett look in good shape?

Now I know everyone will hate me for this but I was just watching highlights of the NAB cup game against the Doggies last year but from I saw first footage of Danny Hughes I was mighty impressed! Yhe guy reminded me of the young Cameron Bruce back in 2000. Very skilled and knows where the ball is and has a good leap. His skill level was still fantastic in the wet. I'm jumping on the Danny Hughes bandwagon this year! I'm tipping he will be the one promoted this year. I hope he can turn into a very good player like our Cam has. PS Jace Bode looked rubbish.

Rest davey through out the NAB cup and bring on Daniel Hayes!

NEWTON FEELING RIGHT AT HOME Interesting he has said he has been on a muscle gain programme and has gained a few kilos? Hmm, in the training pics he looks as if he hasn't even put on an ounce? Be interesting 2 see.

Hey, I have played bushies with Ben McEvoy and Daniel Boyle! I really hope we pick up McEvoy! He is very tall, quick, great hands, great spring and can pick up a fair bit of the ball. He covers alot of territory too. Boyle is a tough nut who is very quick but his decision making is a worry and his skills can let him down just a tad. McEvoy would be my pick. great bloke too. Also I'll try and do a report as I was there! It's all good news too!

i too did have a soft spot for chisholm and thought he was handy in 1999 thats about it really. bloody quick runner!!

well lets enjoy the ride then guys! go dees!

Hey guys I'll be there as well! I'll try and do a report. Does anyone knw what they will be doing on the Friday?

sorry u all probably dont care but for the ones who was wondering where he would be heading well he has signed with nothern bullants as he was doing and intra club with carlton. i was actually hoping sandy would sign him

How come?

From some training reports and pic fergy has bulked up a bit? i think this year we could see him become a really good player and play on the more bigger players. Only time will tell

sorry lol didn't even know u formely known as demon_magik. yep! i trully know you know
