    re Moore, I can see there is a lot worth persisting with. I wonder if he has been dropped in punishment for some selfish play earlier in the season?
    Monty, had 50 touches on the w/e. I guess he might be pressing for selection.

    Moore had got some good skills and is still quite young. I'd like to see him get another season, to see how he progresses in the fwd line in the post Hall era.

      Thanks Scott. I saw the 2nd half of the ressies - He was running amok out there. So no injury issues?

        Well between us we seem to have disposed of half the team including half of our existing youth

          Not as far as I'm aware.

            Monty has a fractured finger (done the week before) and it was taped to another one, and worked his butt off. Ressies is not his place of residence apparently.

            Bulldog said at an aftermatch that his form was off and that was why he was back in 2s. Not embarrassed about it, just considered it a bit of a nuisance and it would get better and he would be back. Smart kid, old head on young shoulders, would love to have a chat to him.

              Hypothetically, what are we working towards (3 years)? -

              Johnstone Jolly Vespremi
              Meredith White Barlow
              Hannebery Kirk (provided he plays to 40 - McVeigh in reality) Goodes(?)
              Jack Murphy Grundy
              LRT(?) CBolton(?) Richards

              Currie Bird O'Keefe

              Orreal Malcheski(?) DOK Thornton

              JBolton too old? -

              That's obviously a shot in the dark, all it says is I really don't rate our middle aged players!

              Very young forward line, hopefully the inclusion of Jolly would help with experience....to state the obvious the retirements of Hall and MOL are going to leave a massive hole.

              Would this team be a force? Obviously alot of unknowns...Pyke? - Smith? - Mattner? - Shaw?
              The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.

                I assume you have named the team the wrong way around? Otherwise Jolly at fullback will be way worse than Leo ever was!

                  As Blackboard says "Upside down, Upside down."

                  I started with the forward line as thats where the biggest changes will come - and didn't really think.
