Over to you...

the team that wears black and white will win.

pies team in vfl should be intresting. with a few good pick ups and some players on verge of afl selection. hopefully a full season from thomas in vfl. keep a eye out for kennedy he is a chance to play afl this year as well.

hopefully tapping keeps grundy and witts in ruck most of time and hudson can pitch hit. seeing as grundy and witts are the future

Yep, a better run with injury through the year (but I currently don't have much hope of that) will see the ressies push for the finals.

Some senior stalwarts such as Didak and Johnson are likely to spend a fair bit of time down in the twos, as well as fringies such as Russell and Clarke.

Seedsman, Elliott, Fasolo, Frost, Dwyer all to come back from the seniors.

And some of the kids (Kennedy in particular) will push their case.

Think the loss of Kris Pendlebury will be a big one, though. VFL ranks that fill-in for injured players will be thin for experience this year...

i reckon russell will be spending more time in afl. the vfl team in rd 1 will be star studded. johnson, didak, ball?, seedsman etc.

Add possibly Daisy (or is one practice match enough?) and Krakouer to that as well, and suddenly the VFL side looks more like the AFL team circa 2011...

Well, now it seems the best thing about the ABC coverage, Peter Donegan, is going to be gallivanting around calling horse racing for the next couple of months, which means we will be stuck with Darren Boyd doing most of the commentating.

Boyd, an alright caller usually, is a notorious Pies hater (most infamous for saying during a Collingwood VFL game that the best photgraph of Paul Licuria's career was the one of him in tears after the 02 grand final)...
