Straight Sets Simon

I would be surprised. It's a given Grimes is in for Jetta, but I think we need someone with some goal kicking ability to replace Kent, my tip is Pedersen (who can chop out in ruck too).

I would.

Obviously you're not.

I don't mean to sound harsh but I don't think he was good enough anyway.

I'm very happy with Lumumba.

I won't be crushed if we lose, the same way I wasn't crushed when we lost to Adelaide.

vandenBerg head-to-head with Fyfe, Vince against Neale and Cross to Mundy.

Time to stop bringing it up all the time then.

Still, amazing to think that of the top ten half are basically stars and the rest are duds. Almost nothing inbetween.

Jetta is one of my first picked but Grimes replacing him isn't a massive loss. Grimes can play, he's just been out of sorts for a while. However, the positive for me is that like Michie from all reports he has played well in the VFL and will have earned is spot in a team that has been playing reasonable football.

Wrong Egan.

It's amazing really, five of those picks in that top 10 aren't just average footballers, they are absolute spuds. Four are stars and the other (Delidio) is very good.

I'd love to see vandenBerg go up against Fyfe but I imagine that Vince will get the gig.

Like West Coast with Morton, North Melbourne with Gysberts, Richmond with Maric and probably Geelong with Blease.

Fair call.

This is what annoys me more than anything is the general public (and media for that matter) not knowing the rule, so read carefully. Prior opportunity If a player does have prior opportunity then you correct and they must correct dispose of the ball (kick or handball). The problem here is that umpires are so quick to pay a free kick the player is usually not afforded that opportunity. No prior opportunity If a player does not have prior opportunity he only has to attempt to dispose of the ball correctly. Why? Well, if players with no prior opportunity had to dispose of the ball correctly there would be no incentive to get the ball in close becuase as soon as they get it (with no prior opportunity) they are tackled and it is very difficult to kick or handball when tackled. Therefore, you would be better off being the tackler than the player getting the ball. It is probably the easiest rule to adjudicate if you follow these simple steps. Sadly the peanuts in the media don't know the rules which in turn leads to the general pulic not knowing the rules by listening to what they say.

I never said it was pretending to be anything. It's just full of ego and backslapping.

The show on Saturday mornings, Off the Bench on SEN (which is made by Crocmedia, not SEN) is just drivel. You can tell Dr Turf is uncomfortable on this show as he has more class than that.

So long as he is fit for finals.

Clint Bizkit - Melbourne

You must be a laugh at parties, bluey.

Watts wasn't soft on Friday night, amazingly it was his skills that let him down. He won't get dropped, nor should he.

Out: Kent, Jetta In: Pedersen, Grimes

We love a captain with a high-pitched voice don't we.

Watts won't get dropped. Kent and Jetta out is a huge blow, Fremantle will be too slick I fear even if Melbourne apply the same pressure that they did last week.
