Pressure makes diamonds.LOL. A little heads up might have been nice boncer34 ha ha
However, in my defence .. my thinking was..
1. We match up well against Melb I reckon. If our new look Essendon Wall* TM backline stay on the park, we have their forward line covered.
2. Saints.. sucking at present, but their dour style can cause us trouble. Surely Max King has to improve? But it's crazy to tip the Saints at this stage.
3/4/5. Each of these teams have their strengths but it's very hard to tip any of them in Melbourne.
Overall, our midfield needs to start winning clearances again. If we keep losing that battle we will be found out very quickly by better sides. We really need at least a couple of Setterfield, Parish, Duursma, Hobbs back and firing.
Interesting that there's no Shiel this week despite the likely need for a bit of extra grunt.
"Hello! We got an email about a fire?"
There's only so many ways you can say we sucked.
Cheers. Thanks for listening. Gif was more emblematic of our season but there could be a few more episodes in the pipeline for this year yet. Stay tuned.Thanks for the efforts and contributions all year guys, I couldn't catch every ep but the ones I did were good fun.
Enjoy your offseasons.
