You can definitely see the improvement in the Kangaroos already. Say what you will about Clarko, he can coach.

He's a kent.

 

[goyoucatters]

I still reckon we've got them covered.

After all, Hird's 50 now and even Fletcher is 47. Blokes like that would do a hamstring or ping a calf before quarter-time and we'd stroll home with the numerical advantage after that.

Just another part of the Hocking conspiracy

Cats 07 > Dons 00.

Spewing Egan didn’t end up in this team. Would have easily shutdown their F50 players. Milburn undersized against Lucas

 

[BotsMaster]

More salt.

 

[CharacterFirst]

On paper we are the better side.

But the EFC record was fantastic and they really did play inspired footy that season.

Yeah that makes it tricky, because Lucas could do serious damage. Harley might have to shift to him but a Taylor/Egan/Lonergan type would've been ideal.

As good as Mooney was that year and promising that N.Ablett was, imagine throwing Hawkins and Cameron into that Geelong team. It was already scary, but it would've gone to another level.

Out: Nablett and mooney and stokes

In: Cameron and Hawkins and Stengles

Harley would have gone on Lucas, not Milburn.

Our midfield would have absolutely ****ing battered them.

I even said it in my post, thanks for confirming.

Hawkins could have been included as he was on the list that year of course, but not in the GF side.

I gotta thank whomever mentioned the AFL Memes FB group, it's hilarious.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

2 x Co-Captains
1 x Vice Captain
8 x additional members in the leadership group

Guessing Brisbane wants to make sure they have half a dozen plus "leaders" on the ground the whole time

Though it does make our C & VC leadership group look a little small...

It's too big a group.

Leadership means means being accountable and shared accountability is a self contradiction.

Might end up winning the lot but this leadership structure will not have helped

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Frankie Evans not getting a game at port yet

Was never going to be starting 22

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Was never going to be starting 22

He might get games when the inevietable orazio injuries occur though.

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

I'm confused. I counted several times and I still can't quite see that there's 23 of them in this photo. What am I missing?

2023 leaders.

 

[standupand]

2023 leaders.

That's a big group. Their whole membership base?

 

[Strange Cat]

That's a big group. Their whole membership base?

Don’t know it’s just me but that just screams that you have no faith in the leaders at the club personally

Can you imagine if they win it ? That podinum won’t have enough room

 

[goyoucatters]

2023 leaders.

Sorry, that was 'intended' to be the joke.

Looked like they were going with the numerical synergy of 23 leaders for '23 to me.

Cotchin up to his old tricks again I see. Odds on he only gets a fine though.

Cotchin is protected when it comes to the MRP.

Carlton would be happy if he escaped suspension, he's cooked.

 

[Hamingja]

The Dees do look good, will be a handful this year.

I think everything that could go wrong did go wrong for them last year. They completely lost their forward structure once McDonald went down and when they hit the finals their midfield were playing injured. My only knock would be whether Goodwin is smart enough as a coach to manage Gawn/Grundy/Brown effectively. It has potential to be an anchor for them IMO if he doesn't get it right. I think it will either work well or be a disaster when it matters, not much middle ground.

 

[And_ROOS]

Dunno if Hawthorn being within a kick of the Pies with 3 minutes remaining after being smashed by us last week means anything in the bigger scheme of things. I'm guessing not, but here's hoping.

Nah, praccy match and scratch matches mean nothing. The Pies will be up for Rd 1. And its going to be a close match.
