Pat Dangerfieldcan someone please tell me who to watch out for in the geelong falcons squad
Geez they were pretty dependant on their top agers (and two 19 year olds) last year, they lost three bottom agers to the draft but luckily for them will get Dangerfield back.
They had a few guys in the VC U16s last year who go alright, they'll need them to step up and I suppose they'll find a few players who have played senior Hampden League, GFL or BFL footy that can come in and have an impact.
To me the Falcons are the unknown right now. Excluding any 19 year olds they might list, I think they only have three players returning as top age players who have played more than 10 TAC Cup games. Thats not much experience.

Cunnington, Rounds, Gavin 'n' Bartlett played VC u/16s last year and MCKenzie and Christensen qualified but both had leg fractures which prevented them from playing carnival so there's a few who have experience at a higher level ?? will it help them or not ???
Gavin, Bartlett and Christensen all play in the winnin Nat Champs side u/15 VIc squad in 2006 in Darwin.
Thats the unknown isnt it? But the Falcons will probably need them to step in and have an impact straight off.
Donohue and Steven being taken as bottom age players in last year's draft eats into their depth - those two averaged 40 possessions a game between them last year and if you account for natural improvement they'd probably have picked up a combined average of 50 this year if playing as top agers. Isn't easy to find bottom age players who come in and play their roles and win as much ball as they did.
Whatever happens they will have Cunnington, Gavin, Bartlett and Christensen for two years as they're ineligible for this years draft, so they wont have the problem of losing all their bottom age guns again this year.

Geelongs top agers are Luke Delaney, Chris Lynch and Nick Sutcliffe - so they get 3 - I was under the impression they were only allowed 2.
Falcons are playing 2 practice games on Saturday at Skilled against Eastern. U/17 at 1pm and 18's at 3pm. 4 x 15 min qtrs each game due to expected hot conditions
Yeah they were definately only allowed two last year, but someone said on here a few weeks back that AFL Victoria have increased it to three.
I'd have no objection to those three you named going around again Soupy.
Sat:
Geel v Eastern @ Skilled
Northern v Oakleigh @ Vic Park
Sun:
Calder v Western @ Vic Park 10.30 & 12
Gippsland v Sandy @ Garfield 11 & 1
N Ballarat v Dandenong @ St Pats College Ballarat 1 & 3
Bendigo v Murray @ Golden Square, Bendigo 12 & 2
With the weather forecast some of those times may have changed for tomorrow.

Had a look at Jets V Cannons and the Jets were extremely disappointing. Seemed pretty much at full strength minus Mitch Banner and were beaten by a Cannons side who were missing German, White, Tsdarkis, Short, McKernan and played Trengove for a half. Hard to find a lot of positives for the Jets though it was good to see Dimmartino run around although he has put on a bit of fat that needs to go. The Cannons have a good 19 year old prospect in Patrick Hayes who is a legitimate CHB. They have a couple of talls who seem to move well- Fewster in the ruck has good hands, Tydell at FB was solid and strong and a bloke by the name of Serhat Temel played at FF and was extremely strong on the lead. Reminds me of Tim Bongetti.The Cannons assembly line looks like continuing and David Flood looked very happy after today's game.

With the absentees for the cannons as noted, Lucin stepped it up thru' the middle yet again. When these guys get back, where do you think they will play him?
dimma has droped 11 kgs over preseason
I see a couple of scheduled games for this weekend have been called off.
Clubs have been fairly unlucky so far with hot weekend temperatures and lack of grounds available. I'd assume some sides may still be pretty rusty come Round 1.

saw them on Sunday against Stingrays. Lost by about 2 goals, number 12 I think Hooper or something looked ok, Suban a bit quiet but maybe didn't play all day
WHo played well for the Stingrays?? Cheers

team effort, best teamwork seen for a while at Stingrays. Best was probably Ferraro and Smith, Gaertner kicked 3 in first half at FF then went to ruck, Purves looked dangerous and was impressed with Bottom ager name Heddles and Scully was Scully
How did Matt Clark and Goodingham go
Matt Clark has carried a slight knee injury but played his best game of preseason without dominating and Goodingham showed real signs he is set for a big year, pity about his school commitments
