Winning a final.

I think Andrew Phillips is as good as locked in for that role.

My good mate and I went to the first practice match that year which as I recall was at Optus Oval against Carlton. Woewodin was miles ahead of anyone else on the ground - had about 35 touches. Old mate went and plonked $20 on him for the Brownlow the next day at $401. I stupidly didn’t.

I’d use it and our other 2nd round pick and whatever else is necessary to make points match to package up to the Bulldogs for pick 13.

Agree.

Sure did. Averaged 3+ goals a game against us - more than he did against any other club.

Touring Brisbane today.

Would rather Peter Matera.

No - I’d offer them pick 62.

I’d trade Preuss for a second round pick that we could then package with other picks for the Dogs’ pick 8. I’d then go and knock on Peter Wright’s door.

Just offering an explanation. Doesn't change the fact that it was an unacceptable performance.

You’re probably right. I guess we won’t have long to wait to find out.

Tend to agree. But every team needs good ball users and line breakers out of the backline - it makes the forward line look better.

There’s no chance Jordon is delisted. Particularly if Brayshaw goes to Freo.

Agree. Mihocek and maybe Stephenson as well.

Most improved side in a ladder sense? Opportunity to achieve the unthinkable?

I think they’ve probably been dreaming about pulling on Filth jumpers and running out together on ANZAC Day since birth.

I don’t think so. I think much more likely they lose Mihocek.

I’ve heard we’re massively into Saad.

There’s no way Daicos is going when his brother is going there next year.

One was played in near perfect conditions. One was played in a maelstrom.

Realistically - a mid table finish with mid table talent and a mid table coach. If Collingwood don’t fluke a draw in round 2, or Tomlinson’s kick fades a little more against Geelong, or the goal umpire doesn’t call for a stupid score review vs. Brisbane, or we don’t get assigned to the human [censored] that is Cairns with back to back 4 day breaks and no bye - maybe we scrape in. But we weren’t winning the flag this year anyway. I honestly don’t think they are that far off top 4. You could make a strong case for us having 4 of the top 50 in the competition - a bit more class on the outside opposite Langdon, another preseason into Jackson, Pickett and Rivers, and another key forward. Not much to ask for. Keep your heads up everybody.

Why? Because we dropped the last two games of 9 in 43 days? Nothing to do with mental softness. I would say physical exhaustion.

Kicked a point from 20 out directly in front.

Combined about 10 goals I think
