like whoa, talkabout young talent time 

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Result doesn't matter, just looking forward to seeing the squad play

It's exactly that kind of attitude that's held us back for the last three decades....

Don't worry, you'll get your chance about 8pm Saturday night

  if we win, I hope so

Damn straight Aitch Artie me old china, anything less than a 10 goal victory and I'll be calling for Hardwick & FJ's immediate resignations and if you really care about the club you will be too....

i sort of agree in the following sense.

while its great the kids get to play and lets be real they all would get 1 game at least,  id rather we spread the talent around a bit more. we want the kids to have the best possible chance to shine and gain confidence.  playing basically a reserves side wont allow for that. good structure good game plan actually trying to implement what we want to do and a decent spread of of talent and experience is whats needed.
call me a cynic but i can see it now, this week a hiding  and an excuse why not to play kids, and next week the better players return with most of dimmas favorites  a better result and whammo there you have it our team for the start of the yr.

As always Clawski knows best. And what do ya know, its exactly the opposite of what the club does.

[Francois Jackson]

Would think claw is on the money yet again.

Griggster will produce a scintillating display against williamstown and earn his round 1 selection

You mean the show that got axed, twice?

The Pies thrashed the Hawks tonight by 8 goals. Yep, preseason results are true indicators of what's going to happen in the real stuff .

Well that's it then, colonwood will win the flag.

I'm guessing the team will look something like this with players in similar roles substituted on and off at half-time. For example, Hunt plays a half as the run with role and then swaps with Grigg.

I'm keen to see how Dea performs. I haven't seen anything as yet that has shown that he is worth persisting with but the club seems to love him and gave him the number 7 jumper.

I was thinking the same thing MT.

The nuffies on here demanding victories for meaningless matches....

The season is a marathon.  There is no use sprinting the first mile of a marathon in under 4 minutes.  It just means you'll limp over the line in last place.

[Yeahright]

Morris to captain?
