That's one of those "Geez I'm glad I don't drink" stories. First time I got pissed I'm 16 and one of my mates from the cricket club convinced me to scol a bottle of Brandivino. He really regretted it when I threw up in his fish tank.

It was a huge night, I got maybe halfway through that bottle before sinking to my knees. Don't remember a thing after that but I was watching WOS the next day and there's me running onto the track at Moonee valley trots during a race. Apparently Vin Knight called me a f-wit. 42 Celsius the next day to go with my thumping hangover. It's when I swore off the grog for good. I've had the odd glass of gin or vodka since. I reckon that the last one was on my wedding day. That would have been 19-20 years ago. I had a can if beer in the fridge and when I opened it, it was as green inside as the Vic bitter colour on the outside.
The fish tank was empty luckily. It wouldn't have been nice thinking "ewww. I don't remember eating those"
He's an obvious in for Hunter given the run he provides, great opportunity for him.
I do hope there's more change though - the only way I'd see Lew Young play is if Naughton wasn't right, and even then, Schache should be ahead of him.
Get the feeling many share my view that Trengove should play.
Happy to give Cavarra a few weeks to prove what he can do.
I just saw replay of 4th q v GWS prelim '16, Libba must be an in.
I would like to see Libba and Lippa come in, plus Richards, Duryea and Trengove
Out: Gardner, Hunter, Dale, Cavarra and Naughton if injured
AFL.com crack is a decent effort I quite like the side, compared with round 1 which might have been one of the worst balanced teams we have seen in awhile.
B: Easton Wood, Zaine Cordy, Jason Johannisen
HB: Hayden Crozier, Alex Keath, Bailey Williams
C: Bailey Smith, Marcus Bontempelli, Matthew Suckling
HF: Bailey Dale, Josh Bruce, Patrick Lipinski
F: Mitch Wallis, Aaron Naughton, Sam Lloyd
Foll: Tim English, Josh Dunkley, Jackson Macrae
I/C: Caleb Daniel, Toby McLean, Tom Liberatore, Josh Schache
In: Patrick Lipinski, Tom Liberatore, Toby McLean, Josh Schache
Out: Lachie Hunter (suspended), Ryan Gardner (omitted), Lewis Young (omitted), Ben Cavarra (omitted)
I think Cav probably gets another chance maybe for Mclean and I'm keen to see Richards for some much needed speed not easy to find a spot though.I also prefer Trengove to Cordy not sure it will happen.
Lets get back to our one wood, win contested ball, sling shot off half back, bring better pressure which should see Naughty and Bruce get some one on one opportunity.
I think this is how we might line up against against the Saints
B: Williams - Cordy - Wood
HB: Crozier - Keath - Johannisen
C: B.Smith - Liberatore - Hayes
HF: Lipinski - Bruce - Bontempelli
F: Wallis - Naughton - Lloyd
R: English - Dunkley - Macrae
Int: Dale - Daniel - Young - Suckling
Outs: Gardner, Hunter, Cavarra
Ins: Liberatore, Hayes, Lipinski
Emergencies: Trengove - Richards - Duryea - Schache - McLean
Liberatore will give us more midfield punch and Lipinski another stronger body to throw into the midfield rotations
McLean desperately unlucky and we might have already given up on our preseason hype of playing 3 tall forwards
I'd be doing what I could to include Trengove and Duryea providing Duryea is fit. McLean probably should come in for Dale
I wonder if Trengove is the ingredient to stop Max King becoming a long line of developing or average players to kick a bag on us.
From what I saw of him he is still baby giraffe-like and tried to get involved in packs moreso than demanding it on the lead. Trengove only gives up 5cm and would have him fro strength and body position etc.
I’m on the record as being a Toby Maclean fan. Not sure who i would omit to fit him in but I hope he plays.
He did such a good job on Richmonds Lynch last year and I think he could curtail other KPF as well
I suspect King might have Lewis Young as his opponent. Young is almost as tall and very quick. It will be a good test for his defensive attributes if he lines up on King
While I have posted a line-up I suspect we will select my 22 for the game against the Saints would be a bit different. I just think it's hard from Bevo and the MC to make wholesale changes unless it's almost forced upon them and we aren't there yet
I'd probably make 5 changes to our round one team looking to improve our midfield and adding some good users of the footy in Duryea and Richards.
I also think we should consider putting some work into Bradley Hill
