It seems like a copout that my views are similar to RB and Maxwells assesments, but these guys know where everyone is at, and if it were a real comp, they would be spot on with individuals match ups and all, they are that astute.

The Magpies are going all out in 06, the clock is at 11 and 1 and we are just eager to add a big cup to our empty cup display cabinet.

Traded heaps in the off season, so it is a new look team, but I believe it has improved considerably.

INS: Hansen, Miller, T.Selwood, Montagna, Cook, Heffernan, Birrs, C.Gardiner, Lee, H.Shaw, Spencer, McEntee, M.West, Hurn, Lucy, Birchall. 16
OUT: Holland, Nicoski, Barry, Lynch, C.Cloke, Fiora, Fosdike, Perkins, Leppitsch, Raso, Begley, B.Johnson 12

Defence: Strengthened up by the inclusion of Miller. We now have Jacobs, Miller, Croad, Bolton and Carroll as tall defenders, Lucy, Birchall, Spencer and Lee as developing tall defenders. Medium defenders include Grover, A.Selwood, Mundy, H.Shaw and Heffernan, and smaller defenders in Cook and he developing Hurn round it out nicely.

Forwards: Once again strengthened by key position eagle Ashley Hansen, as a tall to go with Tarrant, Perrie, T.Cloke, Jones and C.Gardiner, with players M.West, B.Hall, Hartlett, McConnell developing. Around their feet when they spill marks would be Green and Davey with developing player Thomas Murphy rounding it out.

Midfield: The running brigade of K.Johnson, Embley, Tivendale, N.Lappin, Power, Egan, Iacobucci and Thomson welcome the arrivals in Hurn, Birrs, Montagna and T.Selwood.

Rucks: Also fairly strong with Charman and Brogan the main ruckman in the ones, helped out by T.Cloke. Putting pressure on them to perform is Blake, McEntee and B.Hall

Weaknesses may be the shortage of another ruckman, and another small forward. The loss for gain trades of McLaren and C.Cloke may of shortened the ruck division a tad. Fioras non performance seen his departure lose a small forward midfielder, but the gains we think outway that.

Looking forward to it, bring it on.
