Range Rover - Gysberts could be really good, do you think Grimes if he can stay un injuried? Trengrove and Watts I fear will be too pricey. What are you thoughts on Pendels Swann Judd Abblett, managed all 4 by half way through last year, is this still the premier midfield? Also a big fan off Dangerfield and enright scored well for me, had problems with my foward line not scoring huge, going to try for smaller mid field type fowards this year as apposed to key forwards Am thinking Ivan Maric could be a good pick up for 3rd ruck also last year was my first go and I loved it! I would recomend it to anyone who isnt involved

Last year a friend of mine who saw a few practice matches and training runs said get Tappy he will be a gun. I didnt know much about him but turned out to be a great pick up. I also went with Stef Martin and I think I remember reading he had the highest price rise in the whole AFL. Just wondering if anyone else knows of any gems, Melbourne or otherwise, I'm thinking Col Sylvia is gonna have a break out year ... but have been saying that for a few years now.

Would love to see Green and Clark in the goal square, IMO Green played a great year at full foward 2 years ago. Let Watts Sylvia and Howe lead up from the half foward where all 3 have good hands, good pace and especially watts and sylvia long penetrating kicks. Have Jurrah and davey running back with that kick, sounds pretty dangerous. think the back line is still a worry, Frawley can take the No. 1 foward and Garland is a solid defensive third tall type, between Grimes, Bail, Blease and Nicholson there is good rebound leg speed there its the second tall, CHB the rivers is playing at the moment that im not convinced about. Someone compared Riversto Maxwell and I think he would suit that role but a true CHB we lack.

Forgot about brogan, who is Giles?

Satanta will have to No. 1 ruckman, who else have they got to ruck?

My mum is essendon and we have a family joke about gumby gumbleton, makes her angry. I can recall thinking cloke was a dud especially kicking for goal and he turned out all right. What about the north bloke who cant kick a goal, and the jetta from sydney who kicked 19 points was it?

Mono - Without question the lowlight reel is long... very long, but surley there is still potential there, without knowing too much about anything that goes on in house, maybe its just morton isnt up to it, or maybe he will do as this thread sudgests and thrive under a new coach, fingers crossed, but i would love to see more of evans anyway...

I think Morton moves really well and just manages to find the ball, if you watch his highlight reel from this year its not as bad as some of the things people say about him. Can potentially be a very handy wing/hff.

"Hurley steams at every contest, as if believing the match depends on him winning or losing at that moment. That competitiveness cannot be taught. James Frawley has it, so does Kieren Jack, so does Buddy Franklin. It's called intensity." what a great comment, its so true... just waiting for the day jack watts kicks 5 or 6 and wins the game for us and sees that he can do it, and i think it will come. would love to have hurley am a big fan of his but watts is better

To understand the full potential of what someone like Clark will do imagine we were playing agianst ourselves. More often than not your best defender goes to there best foward so Frawley goes to Clark. Second best to second best and so on so Rivers to Watts... now things start getting interesting, Garland to Green? which would leave Macdonald to Jurrah... its the match ups for jurrah and green and petterd and and these blokes where we can really exploit other sides

Howe Watts Petterd Green Clark Jurrah Am worried that Green will be taken out of the foward line for a role on the wing but I hope not he plays his best footy in the foward 50, also hope petterd is favoured but wont be surprised if he is left out Interesting to see if Davey plays foward or back, or keeps a spot at all?
