Do we still have League Teams involved?

Worsfold connection perhaps?

Nah it will be they had their 3 best players out, Gaff, KittyKat and Kennedy.

It's a huge step up and improvement on last year, so he's tracking nicely.

Nah. We are Darwin tough and all that travel and training up there will hold us in great stead.........

If we don't make finals you can all blame me. After a salubriously delicious long lunch and many frothies one Saturday a few months back I booked a finals package including the GF. Since then we have had a bad run in form and injuries. ( I actually do feel responsible!)

Nah he's a shocker, up there with Morris, Langdon, Whateley, McClure and Hagdorn.

Yep he was hurting, welcome to the club though! It's been a seriously exhausting year, I can't remember one like it,I thought last year was bad enough.

All good mate. Another thing that concerns me as well as our minimal elite kicks (which I've banged on about for ages) is how many of our players have decent footy IQ. A stat that is seriously underrated. We know Oliver is a great decision maker, Spargo has the makings of one, maybe a couple of others but I wonder how this stacks up against other teams in the 8. If I had time I'd go through it all and do some analysis. But I don't think we have too many smart players who are elite decision makers either.

Has anyone been to training this week? Kev? @000

So we will win 62 to 46? Or 6.2 to 4.6?

I'm not sure what to make of champion data, sometimes I actually think it's better to use your own eyes. (and I love stats, used in the right way)

Good points, one I hadn't thought of. So basically we are being negative when we should be going for the jugular.

He's only 21, how long did it take Hawkins etc, I'm not giving up on him yet, which way he'll go we don't know. If Hogan does go back to WA we need him to be a success though.

Nah you're not that slow.

For god sake mate, it was a joke clearly and taking the P out of soft Demons supporters. If you haven't noticed I'm a Weid fan and have been providing his stats recently when everyone has been bagging him, I didnt say he doesn't have a crack either, I actually think he does. But I hope we don't have another Dawes on our hands and hope he starts clunking a few marks. It's a confidence thing with being a key forward, once it clicks then we'll know, he's only 21. I've actually watched his ruck work and think he does better than OK too, which did surprise me.

we don't want him to hurt our little boy

Because he speaks like a child. He was on SEN last week though pre pink lady and also on AFL360.

I would argue that Richmond’s doesn’t, theirs is revolves around desperation and getting it forward, they scrap their way through.

I agree with you but Goodwin has built a game plan around a team that can’t kick. Hawks on the other hand recruited elite ball users for years and built their game plan around it.

Thanks LH, that makes sense otherwise there would be dodgy happenings going on. I didn't know they could stockpile it so cheers. That may also be the reason Mahoney is on record saying we can afford 2 A graders this year, hmmm the plot thickens.....

Cheers mate, but that's a hell of a lot of money!

Clubs have to pay 95% of the cap? So if North had a war chest last year, where did that money go? And why is it spare again? Anyone explain?
