        Let's hope. I won't be convinced until I see him as I run up the stairs to try and see the first bounce.

          Either description could fit both players there!

            Rohan listed in the centre, has this been the norm? Yeah I know it means jack on the field when they go where ever needed, but an insight into their mindset?

              I'm not sure, but on where people have been named- will this be the first time that Jesse will get his name in the Record at FF in the seniors? That'll be a keeper for him.
              I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
              We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

                Gary has been named at Forward and Half Forward before and it meant jack both times : ) Last week for example he ended up starting the game off the bench. For Rohan at the moment his position is not cemented so they whack him anywhere on the team sheet. Jetta was named at Forward last week and started off the bench as well.

                  All being named in the starting side seems to mean these days is that you are not going to be one of the ommissions when more than four are named on the bench.

                    Correct. Interestingly, I think this is the first time (certainly recently) that Jetstar has been named on the extended bench, as opposed to on a wing. Then again, i could be wrong.

                      Would love to see Ben in ressies; BUT I have a question for you. Do you think they are going to play a quad recovery bloke on a heavy track - everything is squelching like mad up here, and I cannot see the SCG drying out to pristine surface by tomorrow.

                        We know from previous interviews that when he wasn't in the team he used to put his name on the board somewhere and Roosy would have to try and find it and figure who he had swapped out. Maybe he's still doing that - fancies a run on the ball this week.
                        Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way you'll be a mile away and he'll be shoeless.

                          Forecast is "a few showers" for the whole weekend and then continues for the unforeseable future... No sunshine to come out and help dry the surface, its going to be a wet one.

                              Oh, FFS.

                              Essendon have had a free ride from McLaren since Hirdy spent that 20K really well and McBurney always stitches us.

                              I was very confident about this game, not so much now ... damn.

                                At least one of the boundary umpires is a Mc too!
