Won 2004 without Franco and Primus but we're screwed if we lose a HBF?There is no one to replace Dan. We're screwed.
I'd go as far to say that I would rather have come from positions 5-8 with Dan in the side, vs top4 without him. I reckon he is that important to our game plan.
Granted Dan's a gun, but old Ports would be busting at the bit to win this and stick it up them. 5 weeks is clearly a FU message. Dan to cope that on his first suspension running into a final campaign is over the top.
Partly blame the club for starting with accepting 3 weeks though.
