Yet there are still calls from many posters that certain players, two in pariahs best 22 yet have struggled with their disposal and ability to influence games for years. Last years dropping of certain players must be continued across the board for those who can use the footy regardless of experience. There's only one way they will get and that's by playing.

Bluey McKenna never stood a chance Luded.

And counting .....

Agree, for me the interesting one is Sydney, the still have a lot of quality which will win them x amount of games but they are now regretting losing Mumford. Buddy and Tippet still haven't gelled as initially thought and their defence is now a concern. They have Rohan but lack pace around the ground and drive off half back. Early games against GWS and Collingwood will be interesting.

When are the final lists announced?

Top 8 Eagles Port Freo Hawks Pies Geelong Dogs Giants In - Pies, Cats, Giants, Port Out - North, Tigers, Crows, Swans Wooden Spoon : Carlton Premiers : Port Norm Smith : Robbie Gray Coleman : Kennedy (Hogan top 3) AA : Who cares the whole things a farce. Melbourne wins : 13

Working....again.....have brought my earphones so I can listen to the game. What time are the official lists out or have I missed that? Looking forward to reading the post match comments where conflicting views run rife.

Sounds like something out of an episode of Get Smart.

Now you've just gone and ruined it Steve.

I get where your coming from Dr but I don't know, I just think this year there are about 14 clubs who can realistically make the 8. Games against Essendon and Carlton will be viewed as not only a guaranteed 4 points but a much needed percentage booster. I think only the Hawks/Eagles/Freo would entertain resting players against them. Having said that we rolled Geelong in Geelong with an under strength side, how much of that was us and how much was that Geelong not coming ready to play.

Charles Barkley : I don't know much about Angola, but Angolas in trouble. I just looked at Essendons list that played today, I then add the four names you've mentioned. They are in for a world of hurt this season. They are going to play like the Richmond of old, the 1st qtr specialists. They are going to be in the change rooms before each game high fiveing and back slapping each other, the opposition needs to simply come out and slot threw a few early goals whilst remaining physical with them, the players will look up at the score board and the mental disintegration will have begun. This can only last for so long, they are sitting ducks.

Just scroll back a few pages, there's plenty of them.

Essendons loss today puts in perspective how bad Carlton were last week, and yes I'm aware of who didn't play.

Carlton are in a bad way. Imagine if Kruz was gone too. They will fall in a heap by about rd 7.

Fair call, I only bet on AFL and have itchy feet. I might roll them into 2-3 other games to make it interesting.

Bombers currently getting their arses handed to them. Anyone still worried?

Dees are paying $2 tomorrow, have you got another $100 on??

Left foot, right foot, right foot oh [censored] left foot.... Bruno.

Just trying to think of another profession where you can perform once of have potential than go on to do nothing yet get constantly rewarded for it.

By "fair few" do you mean the same "fair few" that stated prior to our first NAB game that it was irrelevant and they had little to no interest?

Just got an email regarding the "pledge per win". This year they can get stuffed....again. They cost me big $$$$ with their insipid efforts against Carlton and Essendon. This is my 13th consecutive year as a premium member and until they show they can play for an entire season as a team they get nothing else from me.

Flogged? I'm taking the game each way in a number of multis. I'm not confident but a flogging would be more than disappointing.

Exactly, for me it's in the same category as the milestone game garbage or the Bombers reunion for rd 2. Good teams come to play every week and have the belief they can win.

Heater or The Prince coming off half back....let me think about that one....
