You are right about giving the kids games and see what they can do, unfortunately though Eade will not simply drop Johnson, Murphy or Hahn. Welsh could be a little shaky though. I'd love to see Grant come out and play the entire season and kick as many goals as his name-sake some 18 yeras ago...

Giansiracusa is clearly in our best 22. My pick for best team in '09: B: Morris Lake Callan HB: Hargrave Williams Gilbee C: Griffen Boyd Giansiracusa HF: Murphy Hahn Higgins F: Welsh Minson Johnson R...

As a new bloke in the north-east region I have of recent time seen many O&M games and have to say firstly that in comparison to many metropolitan leagues in Melbourne and I guess anywhere else for that matter it is of a high quality standard. Sure you will have the knuckle-heads that will carry...

Everything that was mentioned was very accurate. Sure Pendlebury and Thomas display moments of excitement, although they are soft and will never win you a flag. I do rate Johnson, although as a running back-flanker not a midfielder and there are plenty of back flankers in the league as it's the...

Tha kangaroos are a little underated. Firrito did a fantastic job last year Brown can play and is a genuine centre half back Simpson is a champion Petrie has really stepped up as a forward and Thompson will be back this year.......... not too bad in my book. Although hard to compete with...

With a name like AFL GENIUS you'd want to get it right!!! It's interesting to note that even the so-called pro media/ex-footballers predict their ladder each year and most of them are quite wrong so I guess everyone has their own view of each team and how they rate. I believe the saints...

An interstate side will always play off in the grand final as the NAB Cup is fixtured around interstate games, so they'll always host a prelim or two. I don't think carlton will win 9 games but they will win a few and definitely scare some sides. Fraser will kick well over 50 if he stays...

Thanks for the vote of confidence, I'm assuming it wont be the case for all supporters. I must admit that I didn't see too much of the hawks last season so can't really comment on them, but from listening to a few games it seemed as though there was a heavy emphasis on Franklin and I don't think...

Western Bulldogs 2007 v 2008 Firstly I must state that I don't think we'll improve all that much, on ladder position anyway but hopefully the kids take a leap forward. Backiline Harris (Lake) was great last year and similar would make me happy. Morris and Gilbee are guns and no doubt will...

Okay, since I'm new to this forum I will do my best to get the majority of you off-side early, just to make an impact! I am a bulldogs fan, as indicated by my team supported, and in all honesty we will struggle to make the top 8. We have a few gun older blokes and some real talent coming...

For starters, generally the form of a previous year means jack s..t, take Melbourne for example, there up and down like a yo-yo so a new year is exactly that! In saying that, I think it'll be pretty rare that a team has come from well outside the top 8 to win a flag (any quality histortians out...

Totally agree. Callan may just fill that void (not that I've actually seen him play) but have heard he goes alright especially as a tagger and will probably struggle to get a game in our midfield. There has been a lot of talk about our best 22 for 2008 in other forums with the common...

All fair comments. Yes the ruck stocks are more valuable than midfielders although sometimes it becomes a battle of clubs on the final day (hour) of trade week and have to make a choice. Is it better to get someone you may need than miss out all together if the player in question to trade wants...

I agree with you that those two would not fit in at Essendon. It was mentioned previously that you have the likes of Dyson, Monfries, Houli, Dempsey, Lovett, Jetta, Davey, Winderlich, etc... although the only inside ball getter is Watson with the Johnsons seemingly finished. The others are all...

You know doubt would have heard that we've delisted 4 (listed) players and obviously the retirements of Darcy and Robbins makes way for 6 places as Harbrow will remain on the list in place of Montgomery. Who in your opinion of the remaining players would be up for trade? It is well documented...

Apologies for the long winded piece pigdog. Just trying to get accross my point in full. Of the 14 I've listed there are untouchables and you know that. Perhaps the last few may fight for a spot with Ray. The reason I selected him was because he is not in our best 15 guaranteed, and is probably...

Pigdog, I too am a Bulldogs supporter so don't get me wrong when I have to agree with a few of the other postings. Farren was taken at number 4 and by comparison to other years he has not 'yet' lived up to his draft pick. I think he'll be another one of these bulldog players who can't put the...
