Okay, I'm trying to purchase tickets for the game, and my daughter s requested to be on the wing near the fence; but I'm seeing g very little seating options available - surely its not nearly sold out. Could someone please advise whats happening (yes I accept I'm a novice at this.

Thanks, sorting out final accommodation now. If anyone could give an indication of when the captains run might start that would be very helpful. Our plan is to drive in from the Lakes Entrance that morning for it. Also with the Grand Prix on at Albert Park for the game, has anyone any suggestions about parking. Is it likely to be taken up by F1 fans (walking across)?

Would be an interesting game if they played a multi-cultural team (parent, grand parent born overseas). As a start their tall backs look ok with Alir Alir, Mac Andrew, and Leek Alir. Any other suggestions? I'm sure a heavy Irish contingent would give it plenty of run!

Would anyone know when, where and what time the captains run (training session) for this game is. My daughter is very keen to make it. Also if anyone has access to good tickets and not using then as a result of the Gran Prix; then we'd be interested in them. We = 7yr old bot, 15yr old girl and someone who can remember Jim Stynes and Neil Daniher playing footy!!!! We are traveling from Canberra and trying to coordinate this with missing some school, limited accommodation options (gran prix), road trip with an easily bored youngster, plus a very passionate Dee's fan. So need to organise now, to try and make it work.

Sorry, for some reason I couldn't edit the post to correct Langdon, include Jeff White instead of Petty and Yze (though not sure for who). There's always fan favourites (mine is Tingay, who I would pick first everytime) but in my opinion an objective assessment should prioritise their football ability in comparison to the strongest opponents and team mates - a premiership player will therefore automatically start you higher than most. Normally in team of century, decades, etc achievements count for more than favourites or highlights. Still all your suggestions are worthy of consideration and can be very easily argued for. Question is a premiership Tmac more deserved than a post injury Schwarz?

Jetta May Frawley T Rivers. Lever Salem Brayshaw Oliver Langford Robertson Tmac Petracca Davey Neitz Fritsch Gawn Viney Jones Int:J.McDonald Woewodin Hibberd Petty Sub: Bruce You should start with the premiership side and then improve it; noting that to even be in a premiership side requires a lot more skill and ability than starring in a bottom side!!!! CHF was the position I struggled with, and was tempted to put Robbo there, so that Green could be fitted in. Tried to pick players in their actual positions / roles; allowing for Petty to provide relief in ruck and both ends of the ground as a tall. Probably only need one of Junior or Jones, if desperate to get Green in. Woewodin can also provide additional outside coverage. Picket is not yet in Davey's class. Was really tempted to put ANB in for the role he fullfilled in a premiership year; and consistently since.

Also maybe it could be ................... We have a very strong defence!!!

Perhaps the turnovers at training is a positive, reflecting our ability to generate turnovers!!!!!! This too needs to be planned, trained and practiced.

Doesn't GC have a few academy kids coming through next year; and may struggle to get all of them; particularly with the restructuring of the points/bidding. He may just find it easier to nominate Melbourne if he wants to avoid the randomness of the draft.

Could this pick be influenced by Mentha now likely being a Cat B Rookie - essentialy giving us an extra list spot (taken by a small).

I'd be pitching g to get Jeff White down to Melbourne, so that he doesn't have to move away from family!°

Noting how many talls we have on the list (playing at Casey) I'd be surprised if we took a kpf unless deemed best available. Noting Jefferson, Kenterfield, Fullerton Smith and Verral can't all fit there (Assuming Campbell rucks) and this is with JVR, Petty and Turner all holding kpf positions for the Dee's. More importantly for our Casey forwards to develop; they need to be fed by a strong (dare I say dominant midfield) as you can't improve you marking/forward craft if the ball is not being delivered to you. From what I can see Casey's midfield really dropped of last year and is currently weaker this year. SO get the two most midfielders available at both 5 and 9!!!! Note: watched perth SEN with Mick Ablett and apparently he really rates Kenterfield.

Oliver Withers is someone worth investing effort on. Though I believe he would be a better rookie, Many believed he was best on ground for Belconen Magpies in their Grand final victory (ACTAFL) as a 17 year old. He also dominated the rising stars league B&F the year before as a 16 year old. I believe last year he was signed by a VFL club but did his knee in the pre-season. Was part of GWS academy, but not sure if still is post injury.

Don't settle for good, in deference to chasing great!!!!! Think Oliver v Parish! We should be looking for champions with these picks while they are available, as not all drafts have them, or easy/obvious access to them. For instance look at 2016 draft.

We need to be recruiting the next Oliver/Trac replacements in this draft, so that in 5 years time they are approaching their peak as we lose our champions (if they are even still here). So this draft should all be about getting the elite (potential brownlow medallists); not settle for good players, talls or flankers. You draft for the future and trade for the now!!!!!
