Getting more than a little pissed that Byrne still isn't right.

1-2 weeks for the last eight weeks. O:-)

Has Bell been dropped? I didn't think he was too bad last week.

All players named on an extended bench are also included in the twos.  Dinger will be in the senior 22.

Where is Byrne?

Interested to hear how Cavarra goes for Franga, kid is an absolute jet and i still reckon he could make it onto an AFL list, BnF top and Bottom age for Ranges and wasnt he Captain of Vic Metro as well. Morrish medalist too i think. I think he won the Dolphins Bnf last year too as an 18 year old albeit Franga being a weaker VFL club i still think thats a fair effort :o
I know he's only 174cm but he has a decent left boot, a clearance king, can kick goals, and is tough as. BoG in the TAC cup GF too.
Pretty quick from what i can remember of him also.
Is height the only thing counting against him?

To be honest, I've never understood why Cavarra was not on an AFL list. The only things I know of is that he is small. There may be some other reason: I don't know the lad. Maybe he has other interests that are incompatible with football? That is all that I can think of.

Be his size IMO...seen him play and he is very good and I thought he was a chance last season to get drafted but players like Fyfe, Pendlebury, Bontempelli and now Cripps have just made life
tough for smaller mids to get noticed. Everyone wants the 190cm proto-type mid who can climb tall buildings...maybe if the likes of Caleb Daniel can impact it will open the door for smaller players
like Cavarra. Frankston maybe a smaller stand alone club but they know how to produce AFL players..I liked Nic Newman who went to the Swans on the rookie list and would have rookied him at Carlton..
Hibberd from Essendon is another Dolphin to make the grade....
