whats he even doing playing in it?

so from afl.com.au's best 22 - who will miss out? Morton and Jurrah?! So 2 from our best 22 isn't in too bad shape to go into round 1 with?!

No Davey again?!

I have to disagree C&B! He has finished 7th and 4th in the B&F in 2 very ordinary teams where 2 or maybe 3 blokes from each of those sides have been far and away better than everyone else (i.e Davey and Moloney last year and Bruce, McLean and possibly Green in 2008). He was also playing in a position where he had a chance to get the pill for long periods during games.

For someone who seemed to do a lot of pointing and negative yelling towards team mates, and that same person who couldnt outrun a tortise walking backwards should never have been captain of our club and thankfully never will be! Maybe once Judd goes he can captain that rabble over there! Love the way Grimes goes about it, but still to raw - even to be in the leadership group. Maybe next year, but agree with others that Flash will captain for at least 3 years from 2011 onwards!

When reading these posts and seeing the banner version, I thought exactly the same thing! Works in the horizontal format. Am loving all versions! Are these the profile pics taken out at Casey a few weeks ago?

I would have thought 2?! Richmond and North are our likely's, but I think Adelaide will take a while to get up and going with a few injuries and pre-season form?! Hopefully we can catch them on an off week!

Haha - spot on! I'm a graphic designer and the first thing i wondered was why is "the fire" in a different font to "has started?" It should have all been the same or "fire" should have been the only word in flames. Sorry......weird I know but I have to say, I love it! Reckon it's a good choice of players too!

Yeah, fair point!

Another great start. And Bailey has spoken about how important our first quarters will be! thats 0 from 2 and nowhere near competitive in either

yeah, fair point mate!

Aside from the fact he was very ordinary!

Hahahaha, brilliant!

He along with Joel MacDonald were by far the best on ground last Sunday night. He was a real positive for me. When we expected the likes of Jurrah, Davey, Sylvia and Rivers to be the standouts - this little bloke was a shining light. First positive to come out of the year I reckon?!

Spot on Akum! I would have thought that if all going well, he'll turn out to be a "Goodes-type?!"

And what's that?

Oh, please no?! Best case scenario if something has happened - there is still, what, 7 weeks to go til round 1?! Would be so disappointing if something has happened after the reports of the pre season he's had!

It means absolutely bugger all!

Haha, haven't you been to Queensland Jack? Might rain in Cairns but certainly doesn't in Brissy!

I think that's exactly why i am surprised! It happens every year but continues to happen!

Good old Bizz! Wouldn't miss that beak anywhere would you?!

Is it me or does this seem to happen almost every year now?! My poor old stickers lasted about 2 weeks in constant 33 degree Queensland heat! Surely the club have learnt their lesson and are getting them manufactured by a company different to the last couple of years? http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/7415/newsid/89163/default.aspx

2000 prelim v North Melbourne! I almost know all the commentary off-by-heart! Sandy Roberts was a gem!

I would have thought the Melbourne Storm would have been our closest rivals with National exposure - hasn't been a drama there?!

Thanks for the feedback Redleg! From what I had heard, that's what I thought!
