  1. not familiar with the interviewer...who is this nong ?

    Say what you will about Dank et all bb, but don't knock "Headly Gritter" . He's been hosting that show for well over 25 years and has done a damn fine job.

    Even listening to the start of the show now, I can't see how you'd go with the 'nong' monicker.

  2. I'm not so sure. I think they should all get very serious punishments and so do most people I speak with. But that doesn't equate to "Intentional cheating".

    I think history will remember them as "the players caught up in the Essendon supplements scandal" target than put them in the Justin Charles drug cheat category.

    Does it equate to intentional ignorance?

  3. Our first five opponents (their previous two weeks where applicable) and location:

    12th Gold Coast - MCG
    16th Giants (St Kilda - Away) - Canberra
    10th Adelaide (North - Home, Collingwood - Away) - Adelaide
    8th Richmond (Bulldogs - Home, Brisbane - Away) - MCG
    4th Fremantle (West Coat - Home, Sydney - Home) - MCG

    We need to win early to provide momentum and to offset and perhaps reduce late season form fluctuation.

    Last year, finishing 17th, we beat 13th, 10th, 8th and 7th placed teams. We lost to Gold Coast by 8 points and

    let GWS run away with the last quarter after being 7 points down at 3/4 time.

    Our defense was strong last year - in scores against we ranked 11th. I'm confident that the defense will continue

    to do its job and be better aided by recruits, our midfield and some increased scoreboard pressure from our forwards.

    Much has rightly been made of our inability to score consistently. Previously it was our inability to get the ball forward.

    Dawes' absence in round one will not help, but his presence thereafter will be invaluable. Garlett and Hogan

    (amongst the regulars) should be able to capitalise on Kent and Lumumba bombs and a more mature midfield

    delivery. Watts precision will be required and Bail, with eyes lowered, will give the team ample score assists.

    How far can we go? I'll be disappointed if we don't win eight games but if I see the application, the intent and the

    team capability improvements continue from last year I'll be at least comforted that steady progress in being made.
