well we have a great record in the Alice so we are surely a chance. Haven't lost there in years from memory. in all seriousness, if we had Dawes and Hogan and it was played at the G, I'd be thinking we are a big chance. But I can't see this one happening, unless we make it an almighty ugly scrap of a game with less than 6 goals in the first half. I'll be more looking at how we go about it and counter their attacking style. are we gonna switch off and concede 7+ goals in one quarter?

I see what you're saying but I don't see Barry as a true midfielder like Salem that will rack up 30+ even when he is at his peak. I see him more of a Lewis Jetta type that has speed, skill and will come in and out of games. Disposals aren't everything and as Go the biff mentioned, he is being used as a run-with player to learn the defensive side of the game before getting his chance. Barry will be a player!

I can't believe people want to cut Barry. He was still a teenager as of 2 months ago and was very skinny when drafted last year. From what I read on the VFL reviews he seems to have plenty of run and enthuaism and is learning the craft. I still expect a fair bit from him. I wouldnt put him in the same bracket as Strauss/Blease/Tappy who have 4 years on our list more than him!

after the hell that was last year I'm surprised a lot of people didn't drop off. 35K is a great effort considering the last few years. if we win 7+ this year and Viney/Tyson etc become the heros we expect, we can certainly push for 40 next year
