As has been said thats a pretty inexperienced squad.

Reminds me of the squads we put out in the last month of last year (v freo, v carlton and v richmond) and we werent impressive at all.

Completely different scenario now being pre season but I think we may get tonked.


The squad we rolled out in the last few rounds of '07 looks nothing like this team - it's almost entirely made out of inexperienced players.

Tonked?? If we do get belted I'll be extremely disappointed.

Take a look at Brisbane's squad - sure their midfield is vastly superior but our forwards and backs have theirs comfortably covered.

I was just thinking about Gumby. Is anyone else really excited to see him as the predominant CHF? I can't wait to see him in full flight. Bring on Saturday night!

We're all excited champ but I am uneasy about this. If I was one of Messrs. Quinn Reid or Lew it would have been more time on rehab. If I recall corrrectly, Gumbys mummy said a few weeks ago he was depressed about his hammys. Save him for the North game, they are as irritating as a haemorrhoid. Let the tension build even more for the arrival of the great gumby.

Knights actually stated on BomberTV that Gumby could've played the intra-club game but they held him back to be ready for NAB Cup Rnd 1 - I doubt they would risk re-injuring his hammy for the sake of a NAB game.
 
There midfield is quality. I cant see us winning this game, but doesnt matter least we are giving our kids a good experience
 
Despite what we have out, they have more out. We should win, even playing kids.

Very suprised Hooker got a game. He looks that far away from understanding how to play football it is embarrasing.

I think you are being very harsh on him and from what i saw in the first half he ran to the right spots and didn't do anything wrong in a team that got pumped by 20+ goals.

Hey sorry if this has already been asked but why isnt little Davey in the line up? i thought theyd play him for sure and in the articles it says him and Jetta in midfield.. is that just in general for the year?

I rekon its good that Knights is playing the youth. Its what the NAB cup is for. Id also like to win because as someone before said.. I dont wanna watch us play then have to wait a millino weeks to watch us play again. Hell i wouldnt even mind if we won it haha..

So yeah why isnt Davey playing? Hes ma favourite...
 
If anything Swervyn, a nickname for Hooker might be Pro ?

It might be mate and would be a lot more appropriate than swallow :eek:

He was a speculative pick in a weak draft so let's give him a chance.

Dais: We are just resting Davey making sure he is cherry ripe for the REAL season.
 
I'm excited! If we are to improve it has to come from the kids and i'm glad they are playing. Hopefully Pev gets named Bendigo captain so we don't have to see his opponent get 40 touches and him murder the footy every touch he gets
 
I CANT ****EN WAIT!!! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR 6 MONTHS. I am looking forward to seeing the young ones play. Myers, houli, pears, dempsey and jetta the most.
