Part of the reason for the user name. I went to Lloyd Street ... Grade 1 in 1957. 2 hardened Dees supporters as kids.

This is a funny time to be working out the "best 22". Ask again closer to the season, probably after the NAB cup and the practice games. Every year a new player excites and a few others improve to the point of overtaking old hands. I think the most vulnerable in your line-up are Ward and Holland. Players like Bell, CJ, Warnock and even Frawley provide more potential than these two. And Dunn hasn't shown he is a better CHF option than Miller yet. 2007 is going to be Bate's year ... if he is only good enough for the bench I'll be very surprised.

Ummm ... why do you think he was picked?

My wife thinks that Brad Miller looks like Tom Cruise. Hope he's not a Scientologist though.

I believe a whole gang of Melbourne players were in Echuca last weekend for some sort of pre-marital turn for dear Robbo.

You reckon with all the medical and training resources at a football club's disposal that they wouldn't have investigated that?
