Is the new ‘year of exploration’ So we are trying to win games and get games into kids at the same time - to build a premiership list Injuries could be a blessing in disguise Maybe this year, dropping down and getting a pick 5-8 won’t be the worst thing? Combined with a pick 23-28. And maybe tradin...

The club just need to challenge it.

Hopefully we can reset after the bye in round 19 or whenever that is. Thank you, AFL.

+ 1.

Several of the teams we are playing in the next 6 weeks lost heavily today. All beatable.

Early Tackle: Bont disaster which could cost Dogs dearly SCOTT GULLAN, heraldsun.com.au YOU SPIN SOME, YOU LOSE SOME Ross Lyon is a genius, that’s the reputation he holds in the football world and it seems like his time in the Triple M commentary box has served him well. His openness when he has a ...

If we're so bad, how come we only just lost to Geelong at Geelong with half our side out?

The next three weeks we must win, but I am philosophical about the season so far.

from a lot of the stuff I have seen on SS and bigfooty and talkback. We never seem to beat Port which sh1ts me, but we have to be realistic. For all the talk in the media about Port's injuries, at least they had them for the majority of the game when they built up a buffer between them and us. We ha...

No better place to start than this week.

They've been raging favourites in their home finals too, in the past, and they usually lose them.
No excuses. We just need to kick straight early and start well.

Preparing my self for the worst, anything better will be a bonus Ross will no doubt talk about how awesome Port are in his presser this week. My early tip for BOG Houston The thing is - if they're so good, how come they can't win a final? And out in straight sets again last year? They are every sus...

And those 6 players have probably never played in the seniors.

It's only April mate - no need to worry

Some are crying, 'look what we've become'; 'had to walk out it was so bad"....I've been to sooooo many worse Saints games. Sure this was a big disappointment. You ever see a Saints forward at Morrabin literally trot off and say he was still drunk from the night before whilst we get hammered fo...

I was one of 'em.

Worry is that the Bulldogs are getting a lot of media attention right now and it's our 3rd game in about 15 days.

Well, we'll certainly be match conditioned, won't we?

We won't get anywhere playing injured players - team balance is important but good form in the magoos must be rewarded and if Jones was the best in the magoos, come on down!

And another one

Gold Coast are ahead of the curve with regards to talent acquisition and stockpiling, and by a fair margin, so there’s that and that’s going to always be the main ingredient that wins you flags. Their list is also now arguably ahead of us in terms of games played in terms of having a critical mass ...

GWS have only played Collingwood so far.
We, on the other hand, have played 4 of the last 5 premiers.
Carna mighties!

The first half was terrible by us, but some of the football Richmond played was great - especially some of Bolton and Martin's games.
The second half was very watchable and was punctuated by some brilliant goals and excellent defensive play by Wilkie and Battle and Wilson.

Happy to move on from this week but the next 3 weeks are going to be a huge test. Can we win any of the following? GWS Away Bulldogs at Marvel Port Adelaide Away The Essendon loss is really going to haunt us later in the season. Put it this way, had any of those 3 teams been our opposition today th...

The Suns don't combine well as a team. Won't play finals this season, and even if by some miracle they make it, it will be shortlived and a flash in the pan.
We should make a play for Noah Anderson, I reckon.

We match up well against GWS. I am more confident against them than I am of us versing Cats, Essendon or Port or the Crows if I'm being honest.

Owens, Windhager, Caminiti, Phillipou, Wanganeen-Milera, Wilson, Sharman and Hastie should all stay in the side when able to do so. Collard could come in too, based on what he has been doing at Sandy.
They, along with King, Higgins, and Stocker are the future.

There are 10 premiership players in today's Richmond side - many of those are dual/multiple premiership players - plus Taranto. It won't be easy this afternoon. How many premiership players did they have when we beat them by 6 goals last time we played them? Richmond were out of the finals race las...

There are 10 premiership players in today's Richmond side - many of those are dual/multiple premiership players - plus Taranto. It won't be easy this afternoon.

North are the new GWS or GC While they are banking an arsenal of top 5 picks they’ll be a basket case - until a core gets to 23/24yo Then they will shoot into the top 4 Gold Coast haven't even made the finals yet. Too early to predict what they will do this year but I think they'll finish around ni...
