BAIL, Rohan BARTRAM, Clint BATE, Matthew BELL, Daniel BENNELL, Jamie BRUCE, Cameron CHENEY, Kyle DAVEY, Aaron DUNN, Lynden FRAWLEY, James JETTA, Neville JOHNSON, Paul JONES, Nathan MARIC, Addam MARTIN, Stefan MCDONALD, James MCLEAN, Brock MILLER, Brad MOLONEY, Brent MORTON, Cale NEWTON, Michael PETTERD, Ricky RIVERS, Jared ROBERTSON, Russell SYLVIA, Colin WARNOCK, Matthew McNAMARA, Tom GRIMES, Jack - fitness?? WHELAN, Matthew - lacking match fitness NO BUCKLEY, Simon - fitness?? STRAUSS, James # - casey 2s anyway. lacking fitness NO so that leaves 27 to pick from. youd have to say that bail and mcnamara are a while away yet. 25 to pick from. thats a full squad + emergencies. those to miss - cheney, bell (form) and then its a choice between newton and maric for mine.

play with 30 players on the ground at once

id love to see bruce v richo

i expect them to be a horrible lot with no teeth, who behave like collingwood supporters.

directions to AAMI stadium go to google earth type in "melbourne PUBS" select one. by the way, did anyone else notice the foul, stinking, choking air surrounding the MCG as they were leaving on sat?? i figured it must have been the flith lighting up smokes after the game

not much. brock cant sing. dean bailey is hairy. the boys are itching for round 1

haha they cant mail them out to us yet because they need them this weekend. awesome

sorry, that was me. i was after a big mans jumper, as i am a big man myself. ha!

i thought we were going to wear the red one where possible and when it wasnt possible wear the white one. id buy both to be honest

i thought you took your sister to tasmania for a romantic weekend? who gives a [censored]. shitney is a shithole.

he hit the guy high (his jaw - whcih was broken (irrelevant but proves where he hit him)) with his shoulder. i have no problem with this being 4 weeks.

i think caro is more pointing out there that we wont get as many people to games, rather than saying that we are intrinisically less attractive to sponsors because we have a [censored] fixture though. why do we have to be labelled a "brand" anyway? we are a football club. not a [censored] packaging company

it would be nice if caro had pointed out that due to our crappy fixture we offer less exposure, because we play less on free to air and on [censored] sundays. but noooooo

the classic bit is that setanta was a hurling player in ireland. why the hell would draft someone from a code on the other side of the world where they dont even kick a ball. brilliant.

bloody hell rollo thats a long way to come. 99% in still which means ill 99% be showing up with a yellow sherrin

you got to august 2008 before writing off this year? youre more optimistic than i thought. i had 2010 written off after round 2 2008

i expect............... no one to care

school comes first. its one year. so he doesnt play much this year. care factor = 0 it is not as if we are not going to win the premiership because he isnt playing. rather the lad got a vce score - this will be very important for the lad down the track, esp if he wants to go to university (which i would assume he does) if he wants to play for brighton, well, thats fine with me. i dare say he'll play with sandy as well sometimes too. id rather he played for brighton than had an interstate trip to perth on a friday and missed school for some pointless game that isnt going to get us into the finals anyway.

nice one bruce

rollo i think if you are going to change the time, you need to go extreme to keep out of the heat. make it a 6pm twighlight game, or a very early start instead. just my thoughts. if its going to be 40, playing at 1130 instead isnt going to make much difference to the playing conditions

that seems fine with me. doggo, id be happy to do most of the around the grounds stuff, im just completely useless at the centre bounce - although i guess id have a go if i had to sure we can work something out

i can ruck around the ground because i can get body on but im completely useless at centre bounces

i didnt look too carefully at the make up of the groups to be honest. col was playing as a forward though. mm i dont mind where the turnovers were coming from, as you say, they were mostly results of defensive pressure (esp at one point when they were playing 11 onto 15) its more that normally when there is a turnover you have to move to a different part of the ground in order to defend, and that should be automatic in a game if it does happen. my problem is that if they just call "turnover" when there would have been one/was one, but the same team still has the ball in the same spot and keeps going the way they were going - then that behaviour becomes ingrained if you do it enough. and that could mean it takes a split second longer to adjust to the turnover - which in turn could allow an opposition player to get a yard clear, which means they might kick a bloody goal. its like, if youre going to simulate a game, simulate all of the game, not just bits - unless you want to practice those bits - but then they are isolated, like clearances. just my opinion anyway.

didnt see a lot of bruce TBH.

i meant opposition supporters
