    Blakey: Bradshaw will play this week

    Or so he says here...

    although he goes on to say "hopefully" later on. My DT forwards line-up is like the NSW government's public transport "policy".
    Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way you'll be a mile away and he'll be shoeless.

    Bradshaw's not good value for dream team

          I agree with your choices Ugg and I reckon that's a much, much stronger line up then last years.

            I agree with nearly all of your offerings above with one exception. I know that "Cheese" has been inconsistent in the past but if you look at the stats you provided, he had some really good numbers. I know that we all love Teddy, but maybe that might be a change that I would personally like to see tested, especially with his elite running at the moment. "Cheese" runs, tackles, kicks goals and is pretty bloody tall and needs a go to prove his spot in the side. I just don't see how we can pass up the opportunity to let himself prove his worth.

            It's amazing what names/players we can't get in the side, e.g. Rohan, Hanners, Moore (who had a good pre-season) TDL, etc. What to do, oh what to do. It's so hard at the moment I am sure we all agree at the moment as we haven't been spoilt like this for years.

            4 sleeps to go til we find out what Roo's and his team come up with. BRING IT.

              I didnt' have Barlow in my ins/outs based on the fact that he didn't play in the last NAB Challenge match (from a squad of 24) and Roos pretty much came out and said if you didn't play in the match you were unlikely to make Round 1 (with the exception of Big Bad Bustling Danny Bradshaw)

                Now there's some food for thought! And I was thinking he would be Daniel 'Magic' Bradshaw.
                He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

                  Does he?

                  This is the one major let down with him, for mine, he never seems to go in to a tackling situation with the idea to wrap them up. He goes in for a half-hearted bump, that is not really effective at all. Not really part of the Bloods ethos, to not have the ability to tackle.

                  I had a bit of a go at him when he was warming up along the sidelines last season, "You're soft, Barlow!!" Where it quickly became abundantly apparent that it was self-belief that he was lacking. I felt terrible. "Good job, Barlow!!"
                  C'mon Chels!

                    This is how I see him too, and his record run sounds partly like a response to encouragement (as well as sheer ability). I hope the coaches and team members find a way to keep the self-belief growing, because (to my mind) the raw ability is there.

                      Just did the poll on the Swans page as to who would kick the first goal against St Kilda - no Bradshaw in the choices!!

                        Just watching Marngrook Footy Show for first time. It's pretty good.

                        They showed Swans injury list and had Bradshaw 2 weeks. All tipped Capt Sooky lala's team to beat the Swans.
