Should be only a fortnight now that we have our best team on the park. Probably won't last but I would love to see our best 22 together at least once this year. It would be an awesome sight.

I would play one Mickey in right pocket, the other will probably not be that fit yet, so maybe out of the square ?l

but they all won't come back in the one game, i'd say McVeigh will be playing in the VFL, and only if they are 100% right will both johnsons come back, i have a feeling Jason will play and Mark Johnson will miss, Bullen and Henneman only got slight knocks so they should be back - bullen will play, henneman will probably play also. hopefully cupido comes back in and Watson, as both would be well suited for this game

I heard Sheedy say that not all of them would play seniors.

that is true, he's also said McVeigh will have to come back through the VFL. Cupido played in the VFL match last week and looked underdone and unfit according to reports, so he's a long shot of being back but possible. Henneman and bullen were close to playing last week but with the wet and miserable weather weren't risked so they should be back.
the chances are:
McVeigh - VFL
Cupido - VFL
Watson - VFL (hope he gets selected though)
Henneman - AFL
Bullen - AFL
one of MJ and JJ will play IMO, and JJ is more important and only injured his hamstring once -- MJ's is a recurrence so they'll play it safer with him

Henneman is a deadset dud. Hope he plays

he'd have to be one of the unluckiest guys with injuries, he's been plagued by them. burst onto the scene in 2000 and 2001 then injured, then last year he was played as a backup ruck and forward - which he is not, he's a pretty good defender, and performs alright as long as he is played in defence

That's true about the injuries.

He doesn't have a footy background though, only started playing in year 11 (similar to LRT).

Sheeds mainly picked him for his size and hoped to turn him into a footballer. I don't reckon he has succeeded regardless of his injuries. Odds on he will be delisted at the end of this year.

Better tell your mob on Big Footy.He is the most disliked player on your list by your own fans.

Sounds a bit familar.

Think Heath James,Ben Fixter,Stephen Doyle.
