That's why when we have a full side Bizzell plays on a flank/pocket.

I've seen a lot of people demanding he be put into the VFL and/or delisted at the end of the year, may I ask why? His form this year since he came back has been excellent, he has all his usual composure, reading of the play and good skills, and has only been beaten when forced to play on the wrong matchup (i.e vs Lucas). I'd definitely have him for another year, when Whelan, Rivers and Bell are all back with him next year the backline will be much stronger.

Agree there, it was heart in mouth when he was. Let Wheatley take them all the time, he's such a beautiful kick.

"Chunk" I've heard "Rock Monster" as well, gee he's a little ripper of a player, even if he is bald. On the coverage today they showed Carrazzo shaped to hit Jonesy and the little bald one didn't even flinch, he actually looked at Carrazzo as if to say 'Go on, I dare ya'.

Probably still thinking of the Queens Birthday.

Thought he was very good today, though I'm puzzled as to what his true position eventually will be, it seems they want him to be an Embley type player in the midfield now after playing him at CHF last year. Great young player though, when you think back the draft we got Bate, Newton and Dunn in is certainly looking as if we did very well.

-Is everybody over this season? Nah, never over footy, still will enjoy watching us (As long as we don't serve up crap football) -Does anybody care if we lose this Sunday? Yes, can't stand losing, even at times like this and ESPECIALLY to Carlton -Do people actually want us to lose to get the best draft picks possible? No, because we're going to get a top 4 pick anyway and we have a decent group of young kids already, we just have to clean out the deadwood -Will you be upset if we lose? Yes I am upset every time we lose -Are you going? No unfortunately personal commitments -Crowd? 33,232

Gary Ablett snr was the greatest player I have ever seen play the game. This guy may not even get drafted.

Let's just focus on Juice for the time being shall we.

It's a good question on CJ. For example I think in 2004-2005 Miller was getting games every week just about no matter how he played, and it was because the club wanted to develop him as a CHF. I know CHF is the most important position on the ground and having a decent one is vital, but I don't think CJ has been given that chance. I remember he played very well against WCE at WCE last year and I'm unsure on this but he may have backed it up against St.Kilda with another decent game, and then had a few average games and was given the boot. He was never given a hell of a lot of game time (I watched the 2006 QB again today and he played about a third of the game) and that is going to hurt you especially when you're a flanker/wingman player like CJ is. I'd like them to give him the rest of the year to show he should be at the club in 2008, after all I love Sylvia and think Miller still may have a future but they were given long stretches in the seniors without really playing that well at times. Can't hurt if we let him play out the year.

Happy with the ins. Looking forward to seeing how Buckley goes.

Must say I'm pretty glad we didn't pick him up. He has been ordinary at best for the Dogs.

What are you trying to say there?

All I know mate is last year I remember we were sitting to the left of screen on the Channel 10 coverage. Ring the club if you're stuck.

To be completely honest, I didn't think it was worth looking at. He bumped into him from behind. So what. If he had hit him high or used a fist or elbow with a lot of force to the back of Carroll it'd be a different story, but there's no point in looking at that.

Please don't blame the umpires. We had plenty of chances to bury them and simply didn't take them.

Ferguson is 27 this year. We would get nothing for him. He is an excellent VFL defender who has never bulked up and never will be AFL standard. I honestly would trade Bruce or Green but not TJ. After watching him on Friday if only a new coach could get the best out of him, it would be a huge boost to our midfield. Trading young players is silly. Which young players would you trade exactly and why?

Been saying since 2005 he's the most naturally gifted player on the list. When he builds up a fitness base (Hopefully next preseason) and goes into the middle he will really dominate.

Thought we were better with PJ in there to be honest.

No, we lost it when we didn't finish them off when we had a chance in the last quarter.

Scary, I was thinking the exact same thing last night. Awful at times, brilliant at others and ultimately failed to deliver under pressure.

He frustrates me with his disposal, but if some players had the heart and determination of Godders, we'd be a far better side.

Go to the ticket window and show them your membership, since it would cover away games they'll probably give you a ticket for level 3. I'm not 100% on that though, ring the club if you're still unsure.

Cheers Jaded. If there's one team I hate losing to above all others, it's Essendon. Please, please, please win Dees.

I will, but does anyone know how I can pre-book tickets? I'm pre-booking as I want to get guaranteed ground level and the Essendon dome games are always ticketed.
