Worry is that the Bulldogs are getting a lot of media attention right now and it's our 3rd game in about 15 days.
Well, we'll certainly be match conditioned, won't we? :D

Re: VS WB

We won't get anywhere playing injured players - team balance is important but good form in the magoos must be rewarded and if Jones was the best in the magoos, come on down!

Re: Can we?

Gold Coast are ahead of the curve with regards to talent acquisition and stockpiling, and by a fair margin, so there’s that and that’s going to always be the main ingredient that wins you flags. Their list is also now arguably ahead of us in terms of games played in terms of having a critical mass ...

Re: Can we?

GWS have only played Collingwood so far.
We, on the other hand, have played 4 of the last 5 premiers.

Re: Ugly football

The first half was terrible by us, but some of the football Richmond played was great - especially some of Bolton and Martin's games.
The second half was very watchable and was punctuated by some brilliant goals and excellent defensive play by Wilkie and Battle and Wilson.

Re: North - AFL fiddling

The Suns don't combine well as a team. Won't play finals this season, and even if by some miracle they make it, it will be shortlived and a flash in the pan.
We should make a play for Noah Anderson, I reckon.

Re: An early season test for our coaches

Owens, Windhager, Caminiti, Phillipou, Wanganeen-Milera, Wilson, Sharman and Hastie should all stay in the side when able to do so. Collard could come in too, based on what he has been doing at Sandy.
They, along with King, Higgins, and Stocker are the future.

Re: Hastie

A bit different to the last time RL was coach.
We are certainly developing a lot more players - esp youth.
Hopefully even with the injuries and inexperience in the team we can make finals. That type of experience is priceless.

Re: Crouch out over 1 month - Knee

Looks like we'll be without Brad, Liam, JWeb, and Hunter Clark for at least a third of the season.
It gives others a chance, and like last year if we make finals we'll certainly deserve to be there.
I think Jones is a good replacement for Brad.

I think there would be a few at Fold Coast who would be amenable to playing games in front of 60,000 + and having a chance of playing in a final at least once in their careers. I think we look northward at the end of the year and start talking to a few of the Suns. It appears that rumours of the Sun...
