Bottom 4?
« on: January 23, 2017, 10:39:16 PM »
The pre season has been quiet but I'm still getting a "2009" vibe for some reason - hopefully that's just years of disappointment.

Thoughts?
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Really? What's the club thinking?
It's that simple Spud
"I discussed (it) with my three daughters, my wife and my 82-year-old mum, because it has really affected me … If those comments … were made about one of my daughters, it would make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I would not have liked it at all.”

Playing 3 of the top 8 from last year. Play Melbourne who have routinely pulled our pants down when they were poo let alone now ......

Out of interest, who out of Bulldogs, GWS, Crows, Cats or Swans would we displace and why?

FWIW I reckon we can make the 8, draw is soft

But it will be determined by how we start

Win the first 2 and we are a massive show

Implode in rd 2 against the pies like we did in 2016 and we are quite frankly stuffed

Our starts are pretty bad usually. Let's hope Collingwood has a worse one.  Anybody got any anthrax dust to spread around the Lexus centre? It may be our best hope.

For the situation to change, there needed to be an exorbitant amount of change.

By that, I mean Dimmer.

Looks pretty accurate

After Dimmer is sacked who takes over as coach?
