Daz's Dee's

I think we can win 0 - 2 matches from the first 6 games probably Ricmond, Brisbane and North are our main hopes but Would be great to knock off a potential top 4 team in Hawthorn, Collingwood or Adelaide. I am much like you and really hope we don't see any embarasing loses (like round 1 last year). From what i have seen so far in the pre season hasn't impressed me much but come round 1 i expect the players and team to be ready.

Is that the MFC website?? i checked it out and couldnt see the slogan at all??

Ha ha ha good one i'm still laughing.....

Ok Cool thanks alot!

Yeah fare call might be a bit much too advertise kids that havn't even played an AFL game yet. I agree its something to build on. Hopefully they earn the right to be "poster boys" next year. Go Dee's P.S whoever posted the Pic on the opening topic cheers, how did you do it??

I tend too agree they have tried the whole Martin Forward and it does not work he is NOT a good set shot and is suited better in the back half, I am a fan of Jamar as a CHF but the problem with that is we don't have 3 of him. They have too play Jammar as our Number 1 Ruckman and Spencer Number 2 they could swap @ CHF and Martin can Ruck in the Back Line?? And to think many would have been happy to trade Jammar for a draft pick last year.... IMO This bloke is one of the most important players in our side as we don't have any ruck options

Looks ok i think, would have been inclined to use the top 4 or 5 young blokes maybe Grimmes, Watts, Trengove, Scully and LJ?? as they are why we are going to the footy this year too watch how they progress.

I must have been sitting right near you they are pretty much the same angle i saw the game.. thanks for the pics i gotta remember to take my camera to these practice matches so i can share them with everyone who can't make it.

Clue??

what is it being Changed too??

Sorry the teams are worlds apart.... Forget how many games players have played it is irrelavant IMO the players they had drafted played a part and have mostly reached there potential(a few misses along the way)and as a following poster said there "experienced" players were alot more affective than ours. If our younger players reach there full potential than of course we will be up there. But really are we comparing apples with apples the game has changed since 04 and the comp is alot more even, teams and there 22 players have to play at there best week in week or they fall behind very quickly.... if and a very big if our players play to the best of there ability 90% of the time we could be anything, I have been to the Intra club match, watched the NAB match on TV and went to the game against the bombers on the weekend and i can't see us setting the world on fire in the near future IMO we have some pretty big holes and injuries (which is showing our lack of qlty depth). Anything can happin!

No good at all hope he has a quick recovery we need him out there to build on his experience. I hope the only positive is a young player steps up

I am hoping too go so i will post some reports. I am more so hoping to see a better attacking game plan rather than individual performances. Having said that i am looking for improvement in most players as not many can say they played to well last week. hopefully be a good day out

Cool

Ha Ha good one. Yeah its DB has signed for a one year extension till the end of 2011, Cam Schwab told the boys on SEN this morning

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/hawthorn-president-jeff-kennett-slams-free-agency/story-e6frf9jf-1225833790534 I am not a big Kennett Fan but he makes a good point about those scummy player agents using the system to help line there pockets

He Difinetly went off injured in the intra club match i'm not sure why but he came back on. I think its a combination of ONE bad game and the fact its only Feb. I personally am not worried how he performs now as long as by round 1 he is fit an firing.

Two very good points We MUST become a powerhouse again off field we are on the right track we NEED the onfield to happin sooner rather than later

i havn't recieved mine either sent mine off on the 16th.... No stress they will turn up!

Free Agency has been announced today and will be in force from 2012. There are specific terms and conditions (hopefully someone can post a link here) Players must have served 8 years on the main list. What are peoples thoughts?? I can see players wanting to leave the poorer / least popular clubs and wanting to go to the power house clubs.

If i were too buy a new Jumper it would be very hard to toss up between 12, 31, 9 and 35

Really i didn't see Dean bailey dropping simple chest marks and missing every second target.... thats simple skill errors not coaching!!

YEP!!

yeah sorry have too agree if it was earlier (12:30ish) i would be there for sure but i intend to be seated by 1:45
