Shocking news for such a young guy who I was looking forward to seeing play. Hopefully he can have a speedy recovery and be back fit for the 2010 Season.

I think this is the reason why last year was 150 years. Because it can be interrupreted that the forming was either 1858 or 1859. CHAMP's point is valid for 1859, while if it was 1858 most people who think, yeah 2008-1858= 150. Therefore it was a good decision to celebrate it last year.

Where did you hear this Jumbo?

My Prediction: 36,922

Robbo and Maric are in! Welcome back Robbo. I'm a bit worried about the interchange(from) though. Johnson will have to play as Spencer isn't named. Morton and Jones are certainties. Bennell will probably be the fourth but I don't want Jetta to miss out.

We won't be 1-10. We have heaps of players coming back, it is very likely we will win 1-2 games over the next 6 rounds. We are not a 1-10 team at the moment.

I think it's a bit harsh to say that Bate will go. He has a lot of potential and he will get better. He's only 21. On the other hand I hope and I think Sylvia will stay, as for Bell and Jamar it's difficult to speculate what will happen to them. I don't think Adelaide or Port Adelaide would be looking for Bell or Jamar at the moment, both teams have good defences and a stable ruck formation. If Lade or Brogan retire for Port Adelaide, I don't think they will be going for Jamar (who is 26 this year). Adelaide wouldn't be looking for him either as they have some young ruckmen in Maric and Griffin.

It'll be interesting to see if Wheatley and Jamar play when they are fit. How many different injuries does Daniel Bell have? didn't he have a broken thumb, and something else as well?

Yea, it was the pre season game at Skilled where we got smashed and Garland kicked a super goal. Maric debuted in Round 17 V North.

I think Lyon lacks a bit of passion and commitment for the club. He should have been at the game, and a couple of weeks ago on Triple M he couldn't recall how many games we won last year.

I agree that Maric should come in but he needs to stamp an influence in the forward line straight away. He only scored goals (2) in one of 5 games he played last year, so hopefully he doesn't play up the ground more. What role has he been playing at Casey?

Robbo was in good touch before he got injured last year. We do need experience in our forward line especially if players like Bate and Newton are in there.

We just need a target up forward and putting Robbo in the mix is great. He is back into form and hopefully (if he plays this week) he can kick a few goals.

I don't think the booing incident should come down to an argument. The fact is, Nathan Bock is an opposition player and he did something wrong of late, but plain and simple he does'nt wear Red and Blue. He is the enemy, so are the the other 21 players who played for Adelaide last night.

Yes.

North Melbourne V Brisbane Bears in 1992 got 6,392. I'm looking it up on AFL Tables http://stats.rleague.com/afl/crowds/vn_mcg.html

The worst crowd ever at the MCG was in 1931. Melbourne V Hawthorn, the crowd was 3,614.

Where were you sitting?

Anything could happen against Geelong. They key is to get players like Steve Johnson and Cam Mooney out of the action. Shut their forward line down and we have a chance.

I thought that our handball skills were much worse. There were a lot of times when we missed a target from a handball, or handballed to a player who was going to get tackled. Our general kicking was ok, but shots at goal were a different story.

The Adelaide supporter's were only in two parts of the ground- near their cheer squad and there was some in about M13. What shocked me was that a family of 6 or 7 Adelaide supporters came and sat down in the President's area where I was sitting.

Dunn should definitly be kept forward. I have been saying this for a while. He started his career as a forward, but the only thing that was stopping him was his inconsistency in the forward line, which I think he has worked on.

Yea the '92 one was when we were up by 47 points in the last quarter and lost.

Did everyone notice Davey's move to full forward in the game today?

1 goal in a ridiculously low scoring game that nearly our whole team played well in.
