We may have been expecting to much this season. The only games I think we will go in favourite are Carlton, Brisbane and Gold Coast, both here, add another one or two turn ups that makes five wins which will give our recruiters another top five pick to squander.

Will a short sighted coach turn Blake Acres into our next Luke Ball, if this talented player is continually overlooked for inferior players he is certain to move on. When will our coaching staff wake up up and give players with a bit of potential some continuity rather than play the likes of Lonie w...

How true we are a pack of plodders with poor skills by foot, it will be a long year, disappointing to have our hopes for the season blown away in round one

Could Acres have been any worse than Lonie, in fact could anybody have been worse than Lonie, our kicking will put us behind the 8ball we don't need the selection panel to compound it

Are we tanking or are we really that bad

Time somebody told them there is a difference between an interstate game and the end of season trip.

If playing in a helmet was good enough for Nathan Burke it should be good enough for Paddy.
Shame he got another knock, probably doesn't know where he is but neither do most of his team mates

Think we may have already found our women's team or perhaps a comedy act

I had an idea we were looking at another Irish guy or did the Tommy Walshe experiment put paid that

Is there any news on our class B rookies

We are certain to get a top five draft pick but the only question is who do we give it to

Too short, too slow, two wins

Probably finish with top five draft pick, then trade it to the bombers for James Gwilt

Dusty can play a bit so this was always going to be swept under the carpet. Same as the Hawthorn rape investigation. Good players and strong clubs have a different set of rules to fringe players from lower clubs sad but true.

May be a mistake on site as wiki pedi has him on main list of 40 with the maximum 4 category A rookies and 1 category B, (Holmes) leaving space for only 2 more category B rookies.

We were always going to get bent over in the trade period. To be a successful trader you need brains and balls, we have Bains and Cox, doesn't cut the mustard. With our track history WADA are certain to win the appeal but at least the dopers will have a lot more suspensions than us.

We may have dodged a bullet if we miss out on Carlisle, WADA could still hand out a lengthy suspension, would also not pay overs for Freeman with his dodgy hammie's and Lachie Weller is unproven and may not make the grade.
Best to go to the draft this year and maybe a late punt on Bailey Rice

Great kick but would swap him for Mitch Brown

Getting back to Carlisle it's probably already been mentioned but with a possible two year suspension still pending we would want a money back guarantee
.

I was going to suggest the problem was our poor skill button second thought we probably dont have any.

Unlikely to get any applicants, Sampson is credited with cleaning the Aegean stables but even he would have passed on the task on sorting this mob out.

We don't need to deliberately play bad, with the most of our players butcher the ball the result is unlikely to be good

Only one team out there should be playing with finesse, that's the one with a few football brains and some disposal skills.

I doubt Jack will attract big offers, he does have pace but skills are poor and he would be behind two or three other mids at every other team with the possible exception of the Dees. Even the Dees may have picked up a couple of better options this year. I suggest he will stay and continue to be a b...
