Buckley ahead of Blair?

They also have a solid defence in Alipate and Thurstans.

Toby Thurstans retired in 2009

I've probably missed something

But your thoughts on the game are as good as any male poster on here?

Once again I have probably missed something

Can't wait for the start of the season! I'll be there with bells on (with my Pies supporting Dad). Our best side is about 10:1 chance to beat you. Unfortunately for us, we're missing the likes of Motlop and Chad Cornes (impressive pre-season), as well as others like Hartlett and Surjan.

If we can keep it under 10 goals, I'll be happy but in reality you'll pummel us.

FWIW, I think we match up reasonably evenly forward and back, but your midfield is infinitely superior. We have 2 gamebreakers (Boak, Pearce) compared to your entire midfield/forward unit which has the capability to kick goals.

Good thing it's not a shot for every mention of the word "fellas"!

That's a quality comprehensive write up Macca. Good job.

I expect to win. By how much I don't know.

I rate Boak very highly. If he played for a Vic team you'd hear more about him the Gibbs and Murphy. Quality defenders in Carlisle & Chaplin. Missing a few good players on their days in Ebert, Motlop and Hartlett looks a star in the making.

We will be able to rotate better quality through the middle as we bat about 10+ deep now.
