And Smith

Not a ridiculous statement, just my opinion. He has struggled in the past with the discipline required for colts footy. He won't have what it takes to commit to the lifestyle of an AFL player. Some guys just aren't made for it and he's one I think.

He won't make it.

Who's Mitch Grigg?

I'll be expecting Lyon to take a few wickets second innings if the pitch wears - bowled really well in the first innings. They definitely made the right choice in honoring Lyon's decent test form over Ahmed's shaky first class form.

Very true. I really like the look of him but time will tell.

Jeez that run is very impressive. Looks like a bit ofNat Fyfe in the high marking and running.

SEN reporting that we may have 6 captains.

Keep Lyon in. 3 quicks, 1 spinner plus Smith and Watson makes 6 bowling options.

Not a chance.

Tearing up the track, feeling great, having the best preseason ever... take your pick.

Maybe not but we've definitely had our bad experiences with them - Morton, Sylvia and Dunn to name a few. I just think we will benefit more by going for a pure midfielder rather than taking a bit of a risk on a utility. Just my opinion though.

I like the sound of Freeman more to be honest, a pure midfielder. Utilities worry me as they could struggle to find a set position but it looks as though Scharenberg is a good player.

As we of all supporters know, there is a big difference between what a player 'might be' and what a player is actually producing now.

Jeez we did well in 2007. The only year I think we come close to them is 2006 with Frawley and Riewoldt. The others have been rubbish, though we'll win out eventually with Toumpas vs Vlastuin.

The big fellas taste could be a bit iffy though

Gysberts has duped us and has found his way back onto the list ... darn.

Anyone seen 100 bloody acres? Low budget slasher flick, Australian and starring Angus Sampson and Damon Harriman. Has the odd stat of being the third most illegally downloaded Australian film in the last few months. Also won a couple of awards and got some great reviews.

Probably means he usually has a few too many bevs through the October period and has to shed a little bit of weight and regain that fitness.

I agree, really looking forward to see Trengove free of the weight of the captaincy and over his foot issues. If he can build on his first two years, he'll be a great player yet.

And Cook and Watts were going to be our 'twin towers' before they played a game with each other. Let's just calm down a bit and leave Hogan to do his thing quietly.

For all we know, God help me for saying it, Hogan could end up being the next Newton. Let's hold off our judgement until we see him play good, consistent AFL footy.

Wasn't really much else on offer though.

Spoke too early, Cowan out for 78.

He definitely adds something that we don't have, a small crumber with genuine pace.
