I Disagree. You can only go on total wins otherwise you may as well start splitting Each Premiership from 1900 to 1964 on its merits ie games win or lost etc with W snd L. Being The salient solo figure. Each season is different and a total of wins/ losses is always going to be crucial but that is the stories that lay behind the records that books etc can keep us informed about snd fascinate us fans.

My understanding is 16 wins 6 losses in 2004 and no finals wins being beaten by Bombers in their last finals win in the elimination Final. In our glory years 1956 I believe we won 16 and lost 2 in home and away round then won the 2 finals ( 2nd Semi and Grand Final) and the flag of course. Where you get your 17 game information from is mystifying.You only need to consider years we have made the Top 4, 5, 6 and 8. A total of 18 games was the normal number except in years which were affected by the World Wars from 1914/18 and 1941/45 with not all Clubs participating in each season. The AFL season has been a total of 20 and 22 games for the last 30/40 years and only 2020 was shortened to 17 Rounds as we all know due to Covid impact. So the 16 record for home and way wins can be broke as can the 18 wins total for 1956 including Finals as our most winning season. We are a great chance to break both IMO. If any D/Lander has any other figures to contradict this summary pleas feel get to offer your contribution as I am going on general knowledge rather than consulting record books.

There has been nothing from Our board/Perty about our commitment so it's not a split or even us making up for the lost game previously and .$ 800k. Purely a good chance to get national exposure on FTA TV and to show off our brand and skills near the pointy end of the season.

Thanks CF sometimes a bit of composure is what Locky needs!

Locky is a small defender specialist who is a very good chance of becoming a real defender in the AFL once say Hibbo slows down or retires. Has pace snd skill and takes the game on.

Weeds has ability BUT continually fails to IMPACT himself on the game when he played only as a forward. Plus his good kicking is no longer reliable but a myth esp. at AFL level. That's why I think he is a Jacko replacement more than BBB or Tmac. Running around the ground he gets quite good involvement in the game and contests in the ruck adequately. Itcwas in complete contrast with BBB on Thursday night as he ensured that Port had to mind him and looked dangerous with ball on hand. He also took 2 marks which are normally given!! Forward line looks best for weeks and dalmost best for season. Inaccuracy body is agsin as about 4/5 set shots were squandered by perennial offenders.

They'd not correct OD. All other members than GF Guarantee can if given the ippoortunity for tickets when their priority is given.

Can't reneg on this commitment above any other TT. Money has been paid snd Club will have to sort it out.

Rubbish Saints are likely too quick fir Power at Marvel. completelty different to us playing Hawks at G and Suns in Darwin.

Which FB?

Darwin is not much different in time to Gold Coast but humidity is. Lets see how player pull up after Darwin snd results of Hawks and Suns games, before we pull trigger on managing. This can often be done in games as well as if not better than trying to manufacture rests!

That's why I was aghast at losing 2 of our winners Lsngers and Gus!! Would have to be wingers.

That's why I didn't nominate the teams we would beat Dr. But I believe we will win 4 games minimum to finish inTop2.

I made up those odds because of the other ones bring both true and also unrealistic. Of course it's about 5% chance that Dogs could lose to Suns. Where is it going to be played ? But beating Tigers and GWS is different yo beating Dogs. Suns will have to kick 13/17 goals IMO.to win. You didn't answer my question about us Top2 ? Ignored as Dogsare our most likely team to stop us I reckon. And they won't be in the Top2 if they lose to the Suns!!!

So you font want us dominating the WINGS now they we have Langers almost AA and Angus defending and linking up on the other in 2nd best career form ( after 2018). Let us win at least 3 or 3 flags first and I wont give a toss what they call the game or how it's played. I will be in the sunset home still watching replays of our great wins Covid or no Covid!!

Really now that's about 0.009%!! You are the same person that says Dogs will finish TOP2 You can't have them Losing to Suns snd making Top2 really???

Despite your bravado and LNP type claims of the truth Dr you are not always right!!! I would be surprised if we win all of our last 6 games but believe that 4 Wins should get us Top2 which is what we want. I am supremely confident that In Finals at the G we will beat Power Cats and Lions but fear Dogs and Swans. we may be lucky not to have to play Swans any way or at the SCG as my time due to Covid (Struggled with ground dimensions etc vs Pies IMO on QB) and Dogs are dangerous because of their game plan and all out attack which needs a healthy score yo best on occasions. Our pressure vs them is ( as against all teams) not negotiable. Plenty of chances for upsets with the Saints Freo snd Bombers all capable of beating Dogs Lions Cats and Power but not Swans on their last 2 rounds form.

Problem is Sam just does not get enough of the ball in the AFL. Seems to enjoy that second ruck and floating game in 2's bit like Jacko's role. And also his accuracy and depth of his kicking is a bit if a myth at the moment in the AFL. Benny was a good start and will hit scoreboard and he needs a good defender ( No 1) on him due to his size and skills.

Was only scheduled when AFLPA refused Dogs toplsy on a 5 day btresk which would have been their second one , against their rules for player safety .

AF great point and exactly what I have been saying to other Dees fans it's the extra attention that BBB will need because if his presence, size plus his ability to hit the scoreboard. I have come to the conclusion that Weed if given a ruck role and a roaming forward approval he would probably provide a good foil. BUT as a stay at home mostly insignificant and with not much real body strength contesting forward battles he does not have the same impact for the opposition ( or us) as BBB provides. BBB has the spot and it's his to lose but I don't think that will happen.

You would never ever expect anything other than what Angus is doing coming from his exceptional Brayshaw family background. He is a most underrated player on the wing and knits up the defence and forward line well with tough competitive football which helps our team keep control on the non Langers wing. Can't remember any game this year our wings have been beaten (except Vs Pies) badly. Plus we can play Angus at HB or on the forward line or on the ball if need be also. Champion human being is Gus much like Previous Capt. Jack Trengove.

And BBB genuinely needs a No 1 defender on him which means that Tmac Maxy Fritta and Jacko are left with 2 3 and 4 defenders!!! Thinking about Weed he likes to move around more and as second ruck / Ruck rover he gets involved nicely in the play. He could be a Jacko replacement if needed rather than a static KPF that clogs up the system and puts pressure on himself and others.

Think it's also his style in the the plays his role at the moment without fuss. Reckon he will be marking a lot more hopefully like he did against the Dogs in the last quarter. Old school and reliable Harry. Suits us just fine!

China ain't answering our call Goffy !!!
