yeh, x2 on the internet feed.
altho won't cry if we lose.
seriously wouldn't mind warming up for this year out of the eyes of the nation.
if we can surprise a couple in the first couple of rounds, be 2 and 2, then it should be happy days.

Wouldn't mind a loss except hopefully, it's not on a Richmond-esq type scale.

I think the game is free to air in Melbourne on channel 10. There used to be a site around where you could watch the local Melbourne stations but I can't remember its name.

Yeah, but nah.

Genuine interest in Malceski with that knee op. It struck me as strange at the time since soccer wasn't pushing the development of the technique.... With Kennelly, I guess i'm a bit delusional thinking that Aisake might want to give it another crack at some point.... The White/Bradshaw situation ought to set up as we were expecting a Kreuzer/Fevola combo to set up, so there would be some interest in that as well.

Sydney are pretty light on for quality tall timber. Goodes could run end to end and play third man up, but would be robbing Peter to pay Paul.... it shouldn't be difficult to spread them wide at the HF and kick running goals through the corridor.

Forward line function and scoring power will be the key. It will also really irritate me that they will keep harping on about our departed forward.

On the plus side though, you'll no longer be irritated by constant harping on about a certain full-forward's ball grip.

We should win this game comfortably with the midielders and rucmen we have available, and with Scotto in fine nick this pre season.....

Hard to remember a more flatter build up to a season opener.... not much coming out of communications... ZZZzzzzzz...


.....umm... they did this years photo shoots today, new profiles should be up soon...

There's so much I could say...

I hope we win, but I doubt we will.

It would be good to get a few wins into the boys.

There are several sure things that will be reported out of this match:
The name Fevola (win/lose/draw)
The booze-cruise
And something relating to "summer antics".

We should know the squad tomorrow. That will start to get people fired up.

I dunno what's wrong with people Verbs. I'm fair dinkum fired up about getting to switch the tele on Saturday night and watch the lads play! And I've been hanging out to see the squad all week. Hoping Steven Browne gets picked, and maybe Kane Lucas and Levi Casboult too! The countdown is on in earnest I reckon. Bring on season 2010!!!

Seconded

One point to make though Dominator7 is that if you hope to see Fevola play in that potential match-up then you'll be disappointed. He's already said he will keep the powder dry until he plays us in round 2.

Those who aren't selected:

Walker
Murphy
Johnson
Betts
O'Keefe
Austin
Armfield
Cachia
Waite
Houlihan
Tiller
Kerr
Dare
Casboult
Tuohy
White
Donaldson

Yippee... the squads are in!

What to make of the squad?

Ellard and Garlett as the only rookies. Probably a fair call, and indicative of the fact that Casboult has much more fitness to gain before he can be considered. Ellard deserves his shot from all reports - so well done to him if he stays in the final squad.

We've named all four ruckmen. WOW! Bondi can I get your opinion on this one? Anyway, I guess one of them drops out of the squad, or maybe becomes an emergency. I know the club is very keen to play Warnock, so you can stamp his name. So who might miss the squad? My actual guess is that Kreuzer and Jacobs might rotate as emergencies.

Kane Lucas and Marcus Davies both named to make their debuts after being drafted in November. Well done to both lads! Though if I had to take a guess, I would say Davies may be omitted from the final squad.

McLean, Warnock, and Henderson all to make their debut in the navy Blue. Gotta be happy with that!

Pleased to see Yarran, Browne, and Grigg all given a chance to impress.

How many are cut from the squad? I can't remember. If there are four who are cut, then my guess is that we'll go in without Davies, Anderson, Ellard, and Wiggins. I'll then say that Jacobs and Setanta will be emergencies and swap on for Kreuzer and Henderson at some stage in the match.

GO BLUEBOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No Fevola?
