Roost it far

We get a charmed run with injuries we’ll be hard to beat. If we get injuries to some key players and need to find cover for the likes of Gawn, May, etc we could easily finish 12th. You still haven’t had that walk in the sun we talked about have you? The fact Petty, McAdam and Oliver are all doubtful starters is not making us look all that charmed. Looking at the first 8 rounds and my guess is we’ll be coming from outside the top 4 at the midway mark if we are to win it.

So know we’re agreeing with Cornes because he kind of said we were the best. The guy doesn’t do any detail, he’s a shock jock. You know this yet the minute he says something almost positive about the Dee’s you quote him as a believer.

I’ve been on the pessimistic side of the ledger since last years finals. I think clubs have worked us out to an extent. We have a great list but unless Petty can get himself 100% right we have the same issue as last year and to me that’s a freakin big if! McAdam appears to be not fully fit so a full season from him appears a pipe dream. Then there’s Billing’s, if we’re expecting much from a Saints discard we’re kidding ourselves albeit he’s good depth when fit. I worry about Gawn and May at 32 a piece. So it’s over to Howes, Woewodin and perhaps Windsor to be the youth coming through. Improved years from Bowey, Spargo, Salem, Langdon and Chandler are a must. We need to get Oliver back to his prime at some stage prior to about Round 15. Personally I think Rivers and Neal Bullen could be the players that lift us, maybe Sparrow will go a level? We know Petracca, Viney, Brayshaw, Lever, Fritsch will get us close. Then there’s the coach and as the saying goes, you’re only as good as your last game, and folks I’ll say it again, it was a howler. We’ll finish somewhere from top to eleventh. 🤓

The other night I had pizza and then dreamt I was thirsty and nothing could quench it. I woke up and I was really thirsty. So dreams do come true!

May is our defence, he’s not playing forward. If he does go forward it’s because we’re already cooked.

That's a bit exciting

As I said, keep ‘em coming

Your training reports are getting more over the top by the session! At this rate we’ll win the flag and a first year player will own the members wing, Schache will win the Norm Smith and Nibbler will become the most loved Demon! Keep it coming!

That’s the 3 year superannuation tour you mean 22-24

Take it easy, he's actually spot on with his summary, yes he leans to glass half empty but those inside 50's were very ordinary

How did Howes and Bowey go?

We've all wished that at some point. His papers were largely marked when he couldn't get near it against a second string North side.

Is that you're thinking or is it being spoken about?

Where the F is my training report???

Cause he's a going to be Jeremy Cameron Mk 2

There's no way I'd be paying Petty a massive offer. If Adelaide pay overs then lets go shopping for pure forward talent

I'm thinking GC players will harder to extricate now that Hardwick is there and finals are on the cards

I'm hoping we're either in Ben King's or JUH's ear about coming to the Dee's on a Grandfather offer. That and the year after bring Harley Home!

If Hunter has retweaked his calf and isn't fit going into the early rounds it'll be a really good opportunity for a Howes/Rivers/Windsor to step up and make the position theirs. I'd love to see Hunter and Langdon forced to find another level to remain in the team.

Take it easy big fella!

No one rates us. They saw are underbelly last year and it’s up to us to come out breathing fire. I’m not overly confident but if we get it on, stay fit and say no to drugs who knows. I do know I’d love to prove some [censored] wrong.

Doing it for the people

Viney can’t be Captain, he only knows one way……..He’s a sledgehammer and you need more tools in your kit to lead a team. On the field he leads by example and he does it beautifully.

That’s just plain ridiculous.

Schache………..as the saying goes, If Schache is the answer you’re asking the wrong question
