[valleys07]

Riley Bonner and Will Snelling of Port Adelaide will get their first taste of senior footy this weekend against the Swans. Hopefully they can get a few kicks and a good taste of it!

[GWW]

Be a big test against a Swans side that will apparently be quite experienced.

Minus the coach of course.

[bennymacca]

Be good just to watch footy again.

[Brodlach]

I know it's early but.....

Blues for the premiership and Hawks for the spoon

[valleys07]

I know it's early days, but Bolton is coaching the Blues to a bit of structure at least.

Who's 24 for Carlton

[valleys07]

Who's 24 for Carlton

Mark Whiley.

Shocking upper lip, but has had a bit of the pill thus far.

Seriously, that would not be hard to do. We have had none over the course of the past 3 years.

[marbles]

Bolts mentioned carlton had 70 odd rotations intentionally to leave players exhausted out there, hawthorn had 130 odd

Whats the interchange cap going to be this year?

Also a bit of a fairy tale for bolten to have his first coaching role against his former side in his home town of Tasmania a bit scripted that by AFL? Or coincidence

Bolton seems to be a real thinker on the game and looks to be just the bloke for Carlton's rebuild. Carlton should have started this rebuild a bit earlier of course but better late than never. The Malthouse appointment was one of footy's biggest mysteries.

Sacking Ratten to appoint Malthouse was the moment they cocked up.
