Hawks I can understand because we are ordinary too but the Saints should cream GWS

Saints missing a heap I believe, especially talls? Haven't paid much attention yet, feels too early.

Port to go back to back atop the ladder all season? They should have the healthiest percentage after R1

its a rarity, but I think, given the lack of depth in the competition, that this year is simply set up for Geelong to win.
they will get a nice little trial on saturday to build the confidence

Tough season ahead for the Hawks I fear, but its great to have the footy back, even better the prospect of getting to a game or 2....

Anzac day for me I am going to watch Bundoora Bulls (I think Gary Moorcroft has finally hung the boots up) play Whittlesea..... Just a short tram ride from my new joint. The Bulls are my local footy club, Better show my support.

I noted on the AFL site that he was wearing guernsey "0" too. Novel!
Yeh, he won a spot on our rookie list after kicking 2 goals in a trial game not that long ago. I believe has a place because of C Curnow who is on the long term injury list.
I don't mind him being on the rookie list because he can play forward and back in case of more injuries. In saying that, I hope he doesn't play because that will mean we're all available.
