  2. The actual song starts 3 minutes in. And you'll have to have extremely loud speakers for it to be anything like the concert. Most talented band going around
  3. Search MustBeDunn. (I plan to upload more...)
  4. Jones is a good point. I'd love to see him in the leadership group. Brad Green, Aaron Davey, Nathan Jones, Jack Grimes, Brent Moloney and James Frawley...anyone?

    Eth38's Final Team (team name yet to be finalised, still deciding whether I should stick with my SuperCoach name and go with 'Eth's Cheezballs' B: J.Harbrow (GC), C.Garland (Melb), B.Rawlings (NM) HB: J.Drummond (BL), T.Pears (Ess), L.Gilbee (WB) C: N.Foley (Rich), L.Hodge (Haw) (capt.), K.Simpson (Carl) HF: R.Gray (PA), T.Cloke (Coll), N.Fyfe (Frem) F: S.Byrnes (Geel), T.Walker (Adel), S.Milne (St.K) R: S.Mumford (Syd), L.Hayes (St.K) (v/c), M.Priddis (WC) The Picks (in order) Pick 8 - Luke Hodge (Hawthorn) (captain) Up there with the likes of Ablett, Judd and Goddard as one of the best players in the AFL. Can play inside and outside, breaks lines, tackles and teammates' hands with his piercing kicks on both sides of the body. 2010 All-Australian captain, Hawthorn captain from 2011, and - most importantly - captain of this team. Pick 13 - Lenny Hayes (St Kilda) (vice-captain) The 29 year old former captain of the Saints was extremely unlucky to miss out on his fourth All-Australian selection this year, after tallying 19 votes in the Brownlow medal (eighth place) and winning a Norm Smith medal for being best afield in the first drawn Grand Final. He is a hard-nosed player who gives 110% for the whole game, every game, and will continue to do so being a vital part of our brilliant midfield. Pick 28 - Shane Mumford (Syd) The problem with such elite midfields is that it's tough to fit everyone into your salary cap. Geelong would now regret letting Mumford sign a million dollar contract to head up to Sydney, where he excelled at being more than a ruckman. His second and third efforts were fantastic and he recorded 101 tackles for the season, a statistic completely unmatched amongst the top five ruckmen of 2010. Pick 33 - Travis Cloke (Coll) The centre half forward of the 2010 premiers, Travis Cloke has emerged as one of the game's most dangerous forwards. Accuracy has been a talking point throughout his entire 124 game career, but over 7 marks a game over the past four years is an incredible feat. Won a Copeland trophy in his third year at Collingwood, aged 20. Plays well up the ground as well as being an imposing target, as shown by his 104 inside 50s in 2010. This will allow Taylor Walker to play closer to goal. Can also pinch-hit in the ruck. Pick 48 - Tayte Pears (Ess) One of the game's emerging young defenders - natural bias comes into play, but Essendon supporters are talking him up as better than Frawley. They also say he was in All-Australian form in his second season in 2009, at the age of 19. Although that wasn't the case, Pears is undoubtedly one of the most talented young defenders in the league with the ability to nullify any forward - Jonathan Brown, Daniel Bradshaw, Lance Franklin, you name it. Pick 53 - Jarrod Harbrow (GC) One of Gold Coast's 2010 uncontracted scalps, Harbrow is simply a very good small defender - he has the ability to shut down the opposition's small forward on a regular basis, yet he still provides drive and rebound with his pace and skill. Only 22 years of age, so he's only going to get better. Pick 68 - Matthew Priddis (WCE) The former rookie is one of the heads of a once powerful West Coast midfield. A stoppage machine, Priddis averaged 25 disposals and 7 tackles in 2010. Should match well with Foley in winning the clearances and Hodge, Gray and Simpson in linking outside. Pick 73 - Robbie Gray (Port) Medium forward with the ability to be rotated through the midfield. He has been limited with injury, but 70 goals in 46 games in an unsuccessful team shows he has talent. Set to be shifted to be midfield, and set to explode as a gun midfielder/forward. Comparisons with Gary Ablett Jr. have been made for his pace, evasiveness and contested work. Pick 88 - Taylor Walker (Adel) To summarise, Walker is simply everything you want in a young forward. Great contested mark who's doing everything right as Adelaide's main option inside 50. Only played 32 games, but 58 goals in his two years as a senior AFL player tells me he's got the goods. Will combine well with Travis Cloke. Pick 93 - Josh Drummond (Bris) Elite rebounding defender who was in stellar form prior to his ACL injury early in 2010. His lethal left foot provides great rebound out of defence, and he will become a vital part of this team because of this. Pick 108 - Nathan Foley (Richmond) Has been restricted with injury over the past two seasons, but you need to remember his selection in the All-Australian squad in his third season, two years after coming off the rookie list. A hard clearance machine, will work extremely well with Matt Priddis. Pick 113 - Brady Rawlings (Nth) Age hasn't wearied Rawlings, after he won his third Syd Barker medal this season. Damages opposition offensively and defnsively, tagging players out of the game whilst winning 623 possessions for himself this year. Performance on Stephen Hill must be remembered. Pick 128 - Lindsay Gilbee (W B'dogs) Great rebounder with a great kick. Has the ability to be an attacking option in the midfield rather than a defensive negater, but he is fantastic at both. Very experienced. Pick 133 - Colin Garland (Melb) Very good young key defender. Probably a little too short to take on the absolute monster forwards, but he can take most and limit the goals, which he does efficiently, every game. Pick 148 - Kade Simpson (Carl) Experienced midfielder, only second to Chris Judd at Carlton. Underrated, but injects pace and breaks lines. Is a valuable member of the team because of these attributes. Pick 153 - Shannon Byrnes (Geel) Sneaky medium forward, can play through the midfield, but best at kicking goals, and does so on a regular basis. With all the talent running through the midfield, should win plenty of ball and kick plenty of goals. Pick 168 - Nathan Fyfe (Frem) Only 19, but adds youth and talent to the team. Great footy brain, reads the play well and has a natural goal sense. Also a great kick and a courageous mark. Pick 173 - Stephen Milne (St.K) Look, most (all) of us hate him, but any small forward going at over 2 goals a game having played 213 games is a very very good player. Great goalsneak, great kick. In summary I believe this team is right in its prime to capture multiple premierships. A young, but electric spine, combined with the hardened and tough experience of Hodge, Hayes and co. should combine brilliantly, as shown by the average age of 25 years 101 days and an average of 107 games per player. The youth at both ends of the ground will provide liveliness while mixing with experienced heads such as Brady Rawlings and Stephen Milne. Excluding Hayes, the midfield is all around the average age, so they will continue to excite for the next five years, at least.
