I actually think playing Lucas at CHB may be a great idea. Hes played there before and played pretty damn well. Then you can have both Gumby & Neagle deep forward and Lloyd CHF with the likes of Monfries, Davey, Reimers feeding off them. It would also free up Paddy and stiffen up our defence as ...

I must admit I wouldnt mind seeing the Hawks win. All these people going on about the Saints for Harvey - what about the Hawks for Crawford?? Plus they have the most exiting player in the comp in Buddy, and you got to love the way guys like Hodge, Mitchell and Sewell go about their footy. I think re...

Some interesting and valid points here. Maybe Gumby could be put down back and play alongside or near Fletch and Ryder the way NLM does. Im a fan of NLM but against the power forwards he struggles as illistrated in our last game against St Kilda when Riewoldt gave him a bath. I think hes really more...

Yeah Tom,

I hope Lovett stays - he has loads of talent and Belly would be in our starting 22 if Laycock is traded.
All in all I think we did OK except for a few games considering the list and injuries we had and am hopefull that in 09 we can atleast push for finals.

After retirements/delistings our best 2009 side would look something like this;- Slattery Fletch Welsh Houli Ryder Winderlich McPhee Watson Lonregan Lucas Lloyd Reimers Gumble Neagle Davey Hille Stanton McVeigh Monfries Jetta Nash Bellchambers Others Dempsey Pears Myers NLM Atkinson Hocking Hislop D...

The dogs in my opinion are a little over-rated. Dont think we can beat them but our side is not to bade considering the outs Dont think they will line up as they are named - it may be more something like this;- Slattery NLM Michael Nash McPhee Welsh Lonregan Watson Dyson McVeigh Lloyd Stanton JJ Hoo...

Hope so. JJ is a ledgend - hope he has a blinder!

Will prob look something like this... Nash Michael Rama Welsh McPhee NLM Dyson Watson Lonergan Monfries Lloyd Lovett McVeigh Bellchambers Jetta Ryder Peverill Stanton Bench: JJ, Hocking, Atkinson, Hooker Emergencies: who knows...!!!!

Outs: Dempsey, Slatts, Fletch, Magin, Hille, Laycock (thank god) Ins: McVeigh, Hocking, Atkinson, JJ, Bellchambers, Hooker Hopefull Bellchambers can get more than Laycocks usual 5 or 6 posessions and they can give him more of a run next year and get rid of Laycock... McVeigh, Hocking, Atkinson good ...

For NLM we would want something pretty decent. He is a great defender/utility type and I cant see him being traded Stants might be an interesting one - has had a few years now but doesnt seem to be able to elevate his game to that next level Laycock - Nothing - what a joke of a player. No other team...

Out: Hille, Slatts, Dempsey, Fletch
In: McVeigh, Reimers, Atkinson, Johnson

Agreed - Jetta does deserve another run. Love to see JJ come in for the last couple..

the way I see it:

Possible ins: Lucas, Gumbleton, Peverill, J Johnson, Hooker

Possible outs: Michael, Magin, Jetta, Hocking, Laycock, Dyson

any injury updates???

5. Andrew Lovett
4. Watson
3. Courtenay Dempsey
2. Matthew Lloyd
1. NLM

I cant believe people are comparing NLM and Lamecock. NLM is a great footballer - very under-rated IMO. Can play tall or small, good in the air, can and does run the lines and has played on and beaten some pretty handy forwards over the last few years. Lamecock is a joke, unfit, and for a man of his...

Lucas and Pev out.....is Pev injured?? I thought he did OK last week didnt think he would be dropped. Maybe they are just giving him a rest to give the kids Hocking and Dempsey a game. Still dont know why they would drop him....

If I had to pick 1 now it would look something like this B: Harley, Scarlett, Lake HB: Milburn, Ryder, Hodge C: Richo, Ablett, Black HF: O'Keefe, Pavlich, B. Harvey F: J.
