Looking at the squad that demolished Adelaide by nearly 100 points at the G last year, I wonder what the hell is going on in season 2012. That day our squad comprised Bail, Bartram, Bate, Davey,Dunn, Frawley, Garland, Green, Grimes, Gysberts, Jamar, Jones, Jurrah, Moloney, Maric, Petterd, Sylvia, Tapscott, Trengove, Warlock, Watts, and Wonaeamirri. ONLY 3 of these are not with us anymore, Maric, Warnock and Wonna. Injuries to Sylvia, Jurrah, Moloney and Gysberts have made it impossible to field a similar team to the one that performed so magnificently that afternoon. Maybe, just maybe, we can soon put this successful team back on the paddock. Add Howe,Clark and Magner to that list and, on paper, we look good. I cant believe ALL players have lost form all at once. The wheel will turn. Just have to hope our injury count is low for the rest of the season.

Father time has crocked Davey and Green and now it looks like Jamar as well. As for the rest, I can't explain why there's been such a dramatic downturn in form. It must be a mental thing. 186 was a killer blow to this team's confidence. Probably lots of the players still forlorn after Jimmy's death as well, feeling a little directionless. All this being compounded by the savaging we're getting in the media. I don't know if we'll win a game this year, it's going to be a real test for Neeld and the footy dept to get the team out of their current funk. Hard to see any light at the end of the tunnel. What a depressing year of footy awaits.
