Is he a certainty?

[ALI-G]

Just thought i'd point out what I overlooked myself with the AFL season proper kicking off with Easter weekend. As a catholic I think i'm allowed to say that the historians are pissing me off with this now as we are able to bank on christmas day being 5th of the 12th annually yet for some reason the day Christ died and then rose moves around like a yoyo to suit the Easter bunny.

Anyhow the main point of this post was to let you all know that apart from the thursday night game which is Carlton and someone we won't have any idea of who is a certainty. Kind of has me a bit worried with guy's carrying niggling injuries (atleast Stevens will be announced in time), and probably more importantly the NAB youngsters we all thought were shoo-ins for a game. Houli has just gone from a certainty if he's named to a do I risk it considering he wasn't in the 22 last year and Dyson and Dempsey have performed as well?

One thing we should be able to bank on is Hawthorn's youngster's getting a game, Rioli, Tuck and Ellis will all be certainties in my line-up and Pfeifer looks the likely selection for a rookie playing back given we will know if he's playing.

Paul Stewart from Port Adelaide looks like a suprise Round 1 selection, perhaps taking Wilsons spot over Thomas and Lower.

I agree that Pfieffer and Rioli look like good options. I better not hype anyone up too much though cause I was doing that with Muston and M.Brown and look what happened there...
