Based on form alone, and no injuries. Easy FB: Bartram Frawley Garland HB: MacDonald Rivers Grimes C: Scully Sylvia Davey HF: Bail Bate Trengove FF: Dunn Green Petterd Fol: Jamar Moloney McKenzie Int: McDonald, Bruce, Johnson, Bennell E: Warnock, Cheney, Watts

Easy: No & No Cox is waining (no impact this year & injured); Kerr has had no impact for 3 yrs (since Judd & Cousins left/etc) and always injured. I'd be very surprised if there was much interest from any club.

You are right about the gliding across the ground - amazing to watch really. I wrote the following in April - nothing has changed.

Dees 12 frees; Lions 2

No. Talented in the sense of being skilled in a non-competitive environment. Does not have the temperament, nor the drive. Besides which, we have mids to burn (most of whom I prefer at any price to Wells.)

The Boss = Y_M?

I would be extremely upset if Bail left. Make no mistake, he is a "hard as nails', quality B+/A grader. Something we need in spades.

6. Scully 5. Frawley 4. Dunn 3. McKenzie 2. Bail 1. MacDonald

Note: I'm watching Foxtel - just bits. Now, I'm going to go against the grain a bit here, but I thought the 2nd quarter was pretty good. A couple of soft goals to freo gave them the quarter by a goal. I thought our players showed run, and tried to take the game on. The frees are against us 2:1; our tackles are up 50:37. we must keep this up. Also, Jurrah is not worth his spot and it looks like Watts has been given a defensive role - no problem with that, but why when we are playing away? Finally, Rhino and others are sick of the "can't walk the talk". Me too. FFS, all the players and coaches should just shut it, no comment other than "we expect to win this week". NOTHING MORE.

Let me be the one to tell you he gets plenty of his own ball. No, he isn't under the packs often, because he gets the ball and does something with it. What's with the Ablett (and Judd) put downs. They are absolute guns. Jones isn't in the same chapter, let alone the same page. And no one is suggesting Jones be traded. I was merely suggesting we may end up with plenty of quality mids, with not enough room for all. Those not getting a regular game may want to be traded. I'd love to keep them all, but that may not be possible. Remember, Truscott looks the goods (with the Jones/Moloney body type), and Blease is beginning to show a bit. Add them to the earlier list. There again, we may have a few with career ending injuries; then we will be looking good.

As I and others have mentioned, we are headed to having a large (in number), quality mid-field. We may well end up trading 1 or 2; much as how Moloney came to us from the cats (for a 1st round draft pick I think as well). Interesting times ahead.

I always rated Valenti - sorry he was delisted. Pleased to see he is doing well. And he has those 2 Brownlow votes from last year to hang his hat on - more than many.

God help us. No.
