Development Year

[bowyanger]

When we lost Franks it was like the world had ended but we saluted the next season....alas I don't think we will be so lucky this year losing Mitchell

Wingard needs time with new team mates on the ground

Scully needs time to heal - lets aim for last 6 rounds in a best possible scenario

A new leader needs time to settle, give it to Shiels whom is a Vandenberg type blue collar that has earned it

Get games into Miles, Lewis and leave Worps in the guts all year

Push Morrison, Glass, Brand, Cousins, O'Brien & Nash more as the next chapter

Im optimistic (wasn't when i heard the news)
Top 4 nah
Top 8 look its chance but i doubt it
Im just very keen to see Worp, Morrison, Hardwick,Lewis, Nash, Cousins, Brand etc improve
Impey will have a better second year and Wingard could be anything
fingers crossed JOM stays fit

[JBs-Hawks]

flower Brand hes useless.

[bowyanger]

flower Brand hes useless.

I disagree....when he was given a chance last year I thought he played very well...I used to think he was ordinary but has definitely improved

Exposure = confidence = better performances

[bowyanger]

Starting to get worried about the engine room

Pies, Giants, Eagles, Adelaide, Essendon, Richmond...Brisbane are coming...even Bulldogs have some good depth

What do we have?

JoM, Burgoyne, Shiels, Smith, Howe, Worpel, Henderson, Poppy, Cousins.....

Whats going on with that WA fellah Meadows training with us?

Howe is looming as our most important player in the guts to go with the rest of the big fellahs erry1 has
