WXV Round 8: Can London do it again?

[Holz]

We don't believe in bottoming out at Christchurch. We're quite experienced but we're also getting some AFL experience into our young guys now, so they'll be ready when the older guys in the best XV move on.

From last year alone we've got Lever, McKenzie, Andrews, Langford and Vandenberg all getting games, and I expect Wigg to replace Jaensch in the Crow's line up. That's a bigger collection than any other team, including the so called rebuilding teams down the bottom end of the ladder.

At Dublin we dont believe in bottoming out either, we will pick these guys up as they are just about to enter their prime. e.g. Mcdonald, Rance, Martin, Gray, Sloane, Boak, Walters, Goldy etc..

... but you did bottom out?

debatable, I associated bottoming out is when your up, you fall back down and rebuild. My strategy was start from a low base to build the strongest foundation so you never need to bottom out. As long as I keep finding guys like Mcdonald there is no reason I need to stay down.

Im working of the Sydney Swan model. pick up guys like JPK from other clubs.

Nope we will not be trading our inspirational captain.

We'll need him for when we take down Dublin those season.

Its time to unleash NDTs secret weapon... Enter Keegan Brooksby

http://www.goldcoastfc.com.au/news/2015-05-21/brooksby-elevated-off-rookie-list

The Gold Coast SUNS have elevated mature-aged rookie Keegan Brooksby off the rookie list to replace Jarrod Garlett, who will likely miss the remainder of the season after having an ankle reconstruction

Spencer will be crying in the corner about now

[Toga]

Sam Gray upgraded off the rookie list (already on our senior) - fwd depth is looking much better this week! Chris Dawes won't get anywhere near the team :D

I told you he is going to be better than Tom  :P

That was of course, before Tom looked liked an all-australian contender.
