Well in terms of brownlow he's got 3 vs Brisbane, likely 3 vs Melbourne, possible votes vs Adelaide so its a good start.

I like that idea. Both can kick goals and win the ball through the middle.

No, but then again, who expected them to beat Collingwood last week? No one, really. So even though, on paper, the different team is Carlton, we are not without a chance.

I'm happy to see Frawley back in. Would love to see him go to Fev first up. Gotta give him a go I say.

Thats the funniest thing I've read in years. The sad bit about is that probably the only truthful thing you've got is Jamar's crappiness.

Here's a suggestion from left field - Rivers.

Freo has gotta be our one and only chance should we fluff our chance this week. We will lose to Brisbane by quite a lot given that Bradshaw invariably kicks 5 or more goals against us. The last three you've mentioned will be interesting...

What, is there some rule saying that rookies get a minimum 2 year contract or something? Can you explain this one?

Based on his performance against Hawthorn I don't want him in the side until he puts in more of a defensive effort and works on his mobility. Having said that he's the future of our forward line so he needs AFL game time.

They've got 2 wins already and can play good enough football to win 3 more. No way they'll do that badly. I reckon Freo might do much worse than them.

Brown + Bradshaw + Black and co. kicking to them = Good Neitz + Robertson + whoever kicking to them = Not good

I noticed on the weekend that at most clearances around the ground Jamar would come sprinting in from wherever he was and contest the ruck WITH WHITE ALREADY THERE.. I cannot for the life of me understand why we need to have 2 ruckmen in the one contest (possibly because they're both pretty crap). Seriously, if this was the directive from the coaches, what the hell were they thinking? If not, then Jamar should be shot.

Sounds good to me, though I think Sylvia and Robbo only deserve one more go. I also say CJ out for Moloney

Great game for someone who's played 3 of the last 26 or something. Is the cornerstone of the MFC

How many possessions did Garland get today? 1? Not good at all

Well we've kicked 5 behinds in a row, so we could (and probably should) have had a bigger lead and maybe more confidence if we'd won the first quarter

First 2 of the quarter to them, thats 6 in a row to Geelong now, we're down by 19

Rivers sounds like he's beating Mooney, same with Carroll on Hawkins 112 disposals to 105 in 1st quarter our way

It should be said theres a wind down there that we had in that quarter worth maybe 2 goals

Quarter time Geelong 4.4 28 Melbourne 3.4.22 Goals Bruce Wheatley Neitz for us, Ablett Stokes Ling Hawkins for them

Neita just missed one but we're giving a good show of ourselves - 19 to 1

Sounds like a good start!

Does anyone know if there have been any late changes?

Did anyone see in the paper yesterday that Carlton would be scrapping its white jumper after they play us because it doesn't represent them being the 'Blues'? This was brought about because of member backlash. Maybe if enough of us get angry with the club they'll have a rethink...

The Dogs will be top 8 for most of the year, but their second half will be crap compared to what they're showing now. You're right about their light frames. I don't even rate St Kilda as highly as some others. They played awfully against Sydney (though thats to be expected sometimes against that mob), hardly looked convinving over the pathetic Blues, and then was outscored by 12 goals in three quarters last night. Yeh, they won the NAB cup, but a) that never means anything and they won most of their games by less than a kick (Essendon, Geelong, Adelaide). Not premiership material.
