That sounds like a great evening NB! Did all of those people you list perform? The heat never really worries me too much... I went to a place here called the Petersham Bowlo (bowling club) a while back to see the Mighty Reapers (former Dynamic Hepnotics) and the air conditioning broke down. It was packed to the rafters and the bar was doing a roaring trade due to the fact the temperature inside was probably topping 40c easily. Really looking forward to seeing the Sports.

Killjoy!

He didn't perform too badly in NAB 1, so with a game at Casey next week, he may be ready to come into the side for round 1... even if as the sub.

Great work guys... I'm assuming one of the Pete's is Saty (TDI)?

Albeit cracked.

Thanks for the laugh... you're a good man OD.

Yes OD... I'm home with a cold. Nice of you to notice

Just a couple of things... you have used the US spelling of criticise and usually the last item in a list should end with a full stop.

Sounds like it should be a great night out NB... enjoy; and I'll look forward to your report.

And he will at least get to prove himself against a real team.

I'm pretty sure both Magner and Clisby haven't been named in the Bummers squad.

He's not named in the squad v Essendon, so I'm guessing he meant Casey.

Just saw a tweet: "Wet training session for the Suns today. Ablett still wearing the orange cap for no contact and O'Meara moving freely." Anybody's guess at this stage just who will be lining up for the Suns.

And that's something that's been long overdue at this club!

Ok... I don't want to see anyone being so offensive as to start making Old Dee jokes at this point!

I noticed in one news article Jones mentioning that he had been in touch with his mate Magner asking him not to injure him as he would like to play round 1.

And let's not forget that Pedersen was another to reinvent himself last year. As far as this year goes (can't recall if I made any predictions earlier in this thread... so if I did I'll probably contradict myself), I think with the focus on fast decisive attack and if Watts spends more time forward, he will be one to have a breakout year. The other I think will be Salem who by the sound of it has found his niche playing back and through the midfield... but I also wouldn't discount JKH who helped set up a couple of goals against the doggies as well as get a couple off his own boot; with a less dysfunctional forward line this year, he may be Garletts new "Eddie Betts".

In Japanese.

True enough... but I also think Roos knows the history of our round 1 failures and the impact that seems to have on the rest of our season. I think he will be going all out to win first up and so will be using this Friday's game to help him finalise the starting line-up.

I think Hoges will be played again as he needs game time after missing out for so long. Also, if he can kick a bag then he will go into the first round with his confidence sky-high.

I get the feeling that if Roos is trying to sort out his options for round 1 (and this is probably his last chance to do so in a match scenario), then I think we will see Dawes given a day off and both Pedersen and Fitzpatrick given a run (maybe one half each?).

I doubt that anyone with a tat like that would be posting on Demonland (or anywhere else for that matter)... they're probably still trying to figure out the screen unlock password on the PC they "found".

What?

Hadn't you heard, off topic is the new on topic.
