    I have to believe that we can win this, as rare as Swan's victories are in round 1.

        Noticed the same thing - Moore and TDL gone altogether...

        I'm on the Chandwagon!!!

        If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

          Moore must have failed his fitness test. Tdl would have been an ideal replacement perhaps he hurt himself at training this morning? Bird reappears out of nowhere...

            OK so that only applies in the northern hemisphere but he is preparing for the 2012 apocalypse when the poles swap round.

              Moore failed his fitness test. TDL going out is making me scratch my head. Only thing I can think of is he pulled up sore at training.

                  Or they want him to play in the reserves game give he has only played 1 of the last 3 weeks instead of doing nothing as an emergency

                    He should be in the team. Look at what happened in last nights tigers blues game. Waite went down and the Blues strgglued for a target while he was off. If Goodes has one of his off games on Sunday or he is gtting double/triple teamed another reliable target is required and that should be TDL, or TDL at the feet of ReidAndWhite.
                    Also the in regards to the new in thing of F50 defensive pressure .... Well just rewind to TDL's in the first final last year.
                    He should just be playing. That is why I am querying whethers something else has happened during the preseason????

                      I saw where Longmire said we would pick a team based on our set up and to cover Melbourne. I think that because Melbourne have a small team this week Beven is playing to cover a small forward and Dennis-lane is not playing so that we can stretch their defence with a tall full forward line. Also no point in him coming down if he wont play, he should stay in Sydney to play ressies and bring Lamb for the experiance. I am sure the TDL will play plenty of games this year when form and match ups are right.

                          Congrats to TDL for leading the OUTRAGE league for non-selection.

                          If he tries really, really hard he to can get delisted come end of season.

                            I thought TDL's performance during the preseason was pretty ordinary...(not including intra club).. mainly because i think other teams are paying more attention to him...

                              they do say 95% of communication is via body language......................but that doesnt mean I can read it correctly

                              either way though I am stoked if White or TDL start as they both are deserving................also I still wonder, against certain teams, can we carry two ruck man under the new rules??? Melbourne are light and fast and if any time one one would go with only ruckman and a crashing forward to fill in it would be this game??
                              well it was on the money that he was hiding player selection by looking at the ground alot but off the money on who !

                                I tend to think that Melbourne should be looking at us and wondering whether Jamar + back-up (haven't done my research) can match it for a whole game against two quality ruckman.
                                Surely when the back-up is on the field we should dominate the ruck and stoppages?
