"Have to do my time there" Only a couple of things iffy with that sentence.

The similar aged me went through the final moments of that game in their mind afterwards possibly more than any other in memory. What could we have done? Why did we let Leigh Brown free in the 50 to kick the goal that got them within a point? With 10 seconds left in our backline maybe we should have just kicked a rainmaker up to the wing so even if Freo got possesion back the hangtime might have taken more time off the clock. Every single scenario that we could have done better. It may not have been billed as a big game to the public but as game time came round it ramped up. Freo were undefeated at Subi and it was being nicknamed the house of pain taking victim after victim. They asked Neale about this on the pre game coverage and Danners just replied "Well, we haven't been here yet this year". It was such a tough game, goals at a premium and it felt like the only ones being scored were really good ones. Losing Jeff hurt so damn much in the first place, this was just cruel.

Hopefully I get the same thing in April. Prepared to hold firm.

And now we have the much unwanted time on the sidelines to think about life..

Good to hear from you mate and I do agree. NSW Dees fans are as real as they come.

Yes and Apple cider vinegar cures ringworm.

Do you have the balls to name them?

They probably had the best offensive line this year as well as the best D-line. Great example of building a team from the trenches.

And for over a month?

Might have been a mistake?

Yeah that's a hammy by the look of it. Like a gunshot to the back of the leg. How bad it is remains to be seen but I feel for the man.

Don't want to be hung by the tongue.

I liked Hinkers, good everyman kind of coach. I don't think they will be winning it this year, finals maybe.

It's odd, not going to lie. You have a guy that hardly ever comes off the ground, unless he's still able to do this on the inside then I can't help but feel a key strength is taken away.

There's been a positive culture change on DL as well.

The 16 minute quarters were a joke. Don't do that again.

Keen to see how it goes. Don't really care as long as Ed gets to run his 50km per game

Good to see that 5 months of bitterness finally let out today. No point keeping it locked up inside.

Climb out guys

As it stands I won't be renewing when my Kayo runs out in April

Maybe he can get in on a wildcard.

I always felt we'd get first option on him after the amicable way that he left us so that would make sense. Back in 2020 I can see why they went for Brown but there was a bit of buyer beware with both.

They were the most valuable people, most important players and very important persons

I don't think they will move from Stafford. That would be a Raiders thing to do.
