If we can hang with WC up until halftime DemonWA I'd probably just excuse myself out the backdoor as your feral mates start warming up. Still too early to hope to knock off one of the big dogs (of course, upsets can happen) but I expect this team to still get crushed once and a while by the big boys- and that's fine right now.
How long do you think it will take the new team to gel? I have a feeling it will take at least 6 or so games. Maybe by round 10 we get a clearer picture of what this new team can be capable of.
I don't think we lost anything, I think Watts will claim River's position long term and eventually that will be an improvemnet on the indicators you mentioned.
Dawes will cover the gap that Green has left and then some. We will be more potent forward and at least break even in the back line. Overall, Green and Rivers aside I feel everyone of our omissions were dispensable and we will become more competitive for that sooner, rather than latter.
Last year's ladder proved that we had the worst group of seniors on any AFL list, the kids that Prenders recruited still have time to make it.
In the interest of fairness, whenever Barry's mistakes are raised, his success should be discussed too. Howe and McDonald are super pick-ups and for the picks we used on them will prove to be the best value this club has experienced for as long as I can remember.
If we can get a similar result from one of the later picks from this year's draft I consider that a win. It's the later picks that prove a recruiters worth more so than the early less speculative picks surely.
So two wrongs make a right does it now? Lol I hope for societies sake you are sterile.
Keep on referring to WYL- a fellow poster and committed dee as a "dolt" and see how many enemies you can make here!
McClean says we were tanking; full scale investigation.
Fevola says Carlton were tanking; nothing.
Pretty f'n clear to me what's happening. At the very least we're being singled out and discriminated against.
You'd think if they were going to fight fiercely for something it would be this.
Filling in looking for work sections of Centrelink forms is tedious and demoralizing.
I'd like to see Sylvia lead on the field this year and have no more off-field indiscretions from now on and then I'd consider him for the leadership group. He must earn it, and if he does then I'd be more than happy to include him. If it was up to me of course
McQueen I'd give up trying to defend myself to these hyper politically correct types, anyone with a bit of sense knows you're intentions weren't to be racist.
