Disappointing if it's only Allen & Bazzo getting treatment in Qatar, and not Hewett. Can't fathom why he wasn't sent there as well.
Unless he has already been earlier? No concrete reports of that.

He went to Dubai to see a specialist after his latest foot injury pretty sure

1. Gimp wing is forever banished and both wingers are expected to get possessions, run defensively, apply pressure and play football

Okay time to raise people's hopes and get the glass half-full of coolade passed around.

11. No matter who we draft with picks 12 and 26, we will all melt when Bo Allan turns into Patty Cripps.

 

[Cuzz09]

Yeah think we will struggle.

hopefully we're more competitive with a few more mature bodies but talent wise we look terrible.

Maybe 3-6 wins area

More wins if a heap if guys have career high seasons

Yeah think we will struggle.

This is the least surprising post of 2024

 

[Cuzz09]

I was actually feeling slightly positive about the prospect of having FOS and Harley but now I think we'll tread water a bit longer.

Hopefully we hit the season running and get some early wins to get things exciting with a new coach.

Fixture will be interesting to see

Not really sure expectations wise, probably not much more than last year.

Love to see a game style that I can watch week in, week out and we're competitive in all games.

Too many game over the past 3 years, I had to turn off for my mental health.

Hated the trade but none of this year’s draft prospects are good enough that a nine pick downgrade could have this much of an impact on our prospects.

Yeah I know.

Would've been exciting to see 2 guns of the future.

Praying our pick 12 becomes a star and Hewett/Long etc get up

Plenty of guns get taken in the teens each year, especially in even drafts. I hear ya though

expecting to see a steep increase in swervability displayed by our new players
