Kangaroos to be a force in 2015?

[Marley10]

I know we're only five rounds in but....

A gentle reminder to all (including Essendon fans), that what is generally accepted as fact in the offseason almost always isn't......

To be fair, only Richmond separates North and Port on the ladder at the moment...

Yes I know.

It was a very tongue in cheek reference to the fact that North aren't banging down the doors of being a 2015 top 4 side ATM.

I was referring to the fact that this is the only thing that resembles North being next in line to Port. Not looking like it at the moment.

Flag betting:

1) Hawks
2) Freo
3) Swans
4) Port
5) Roos
6) Crows
7) Ess

We are just below Port in flag betting - next best is still correct.

So you are saying there's only 4 teams from here who can win the flag?

100% - no team can win out of those 4.

100% - no team can win out of those 4.

That's not the party line. What's wrong?

It's apparently very even alround and a very long season.

Were you not at Brads meetings?

There's another one this morning where Brads wife lets his nuts out of the box and North go on and win easily.

Avatar? I would put my house on it.

I can probably manage an avatar v house bet.....

Our biggest problem by far is having no backline. Our talls are good, but they aren't tall and our smalls are good at attacking but they can't defend.

You could be right. Our forward line tackles aren't even VFL level.
The smalls aren't doing anywhere near enough.

Is it just me or have the Kangaroos now become a comedy act and a parody of themselves?
Every 4-6 weeks we have the same 'bloodletting' event. This has been happening for years now.
Basically they put in an absolute stinker. Then Brad Scott does a press conference and reels out a series of cliches and acts tough.
They say its 'unacceptable' and that they will have a 'hard session on the track' and there will be some 'tough decisions at the selection table' and 'reputations won't count for anything'.
Then some player (NDS lately but could be anyone) comes out and crap on how they had a really 'honest feedback meeting'.
Wash.
Repeat every 4 weeks.
It really is high comedy.
Its like watching a footy parody show only they don't seem to see the humour.
