No. Gysberts will be a gun.

Isn't Rohan Bail too old?

Can't help but agree. Trying to deflect the media from Scully get dropped is a possibility. Late change will mean no press to dent the confidence. Jamar on his own seems very risky.

Good call. Coaching staff have been very happy with Juice the last few weeks, and he would be gaining confidence with each contest. I agree this might be a bit of a breakout game for him in terms of getting on the scoreboard. Still prefer to see him up the ground rather than deep though.

Jack Watts will have the best career IMO but Sylvia, Grimes, Frawley, Scully and Trengove won't be far behind.

Agree with this. He played a very good game yesterday, really surprised me with some excellent decision making. In: Sylvia Out: Dunn If Rivers is ready he can take Col Garland's spot for the time being.

Newton will be playing on Sunday barring injury.

You know very little about footy. Great game from Newton today before he copped that knock to the knee. I can actually see him holding his spot this year. His defensive pressure is ridiculously good considering his size.

Yes he was very pumped, was great to see. It really spurred him on to finish the game strongly.

No. You're pathetic. Not to mention ignorant.

This is why I love Cam Schwab. He will lead us to the promised land.

I don't think we can finish top four this year. But just take a second to imagine the way the team played on Saturday, the spirit with which they applied themselves to the contest... Then add the below talent: Morton, Sylvia, Jurrah, Watts, Wonnamearri, Garland, Maric, Gysberts, Tapscott Then fast forward to 2012 and add two years development into all of the players on our list. Davey, Green, Grimes, Petterd, Bate, Trengove, Scully, Frawley, Strauss, etc... All I can say is, we are in for quite a ride.

Great report Jack. A very enjoyable read.

Yeah agreed it was a pisser, especially from Newton and the way he nonchalantly pushed him. ps Brock left us, not the other way round. So this thread isn't worth the screen it's appearing on.

Seriously, are we going to do this again? Last year he took a while to get going, everyone had a crack at him, then he was our most dominant forward in the final 15 weeks of the year.

Massively.

Yeah he stated so in his twitter.

+1 Anyone saying Frawley should be dropped should be ashamed of themselves. Also Rivers possibly in for Strauss if fit. Garland, Watts, Cheney etc to get some more game time at Casey.

Ah what a shame, I've already made plans to go to the G with mates to see the Bombers and Blues game. Would have been great to head down to watch this one. Good luck to all the Dees boys.

Bennel started forward, and I agree it was a smart move. The starting forward six was all about forward defensive pressure. It was great coaching.

Welcome to the internet mate. The key is to sort through the opinion to get the info your after and leave it at that, don't stay to feed the animals. Dees are in a better place than we've been in a very long time, on and off the field.

Remember seeing him play at Optus Oval in the '09 pre-season and he immediately struck me as a player. Proved it today. Well done mate. Many games for the MFC to come I'm sure.

Was very happy with Cam's game today after he was moved onto Cloke. At the start of the 2nd Cloke was tearing Joel Mac a new one and we were in danger of getting blown away. Bruce was moved onto him and kept him relatively quiet after that I thought. I agree with above poster he should continue with negating roles. He played some pearlers on Hird pre-Guerra tackle. Also agree with you Demon Tragic. Needs to take it on himself to lead the youngsters.

Tough to stomach isn't it. But if we can replicate that intensity over the next two rounds we'll be 2 and 2 after four.

Agreed. With a bit of belief we would've won by six goals today. Our time is coming a lot sooner than most people realise.
