Well, minus Treloar, I guess we can effectively delete this thread for 2018. _________________ M I L L A N E 4 2 forever |

The problem we also have is that the Hawks and Kangas are regarded as having the two softest draws of all teams in the run home. |

If you had told me that we would win 2010 with Josh Fraser, Tarkyn Lockyer, Cheesy O'Bree and Paul Medhurst looking on but a first year 174 cm KPP named Blair in the side. That Presti would get injured and not play after round 20. That our Captain would miss a month with a calf in the middle of an important stretch where we drew with the Dees and beat two others in the top 8 without him so we could finish top 4. That a kid called Sidebottom would kick 24 goals in his second season. That a sh1ttruck journeyman from North would kick an offbreak so severe that it knocked the Cats on their arses in an absolute blitz in the prelim. That a second year utility named Macaffer with no weapons bar lockdown and an average shot for goal would be crucial. That a bloke who couldn't take a chest mark because he was basically blind could play full forward. That his mate at CHF would kick more points than goals and it didn't cost us the flag. That Goldie would come into the side after a drawn GF and kick the first goal after Swanny gave away a dumb reversal that cost Cloke the first goal. That Didak would be our leading goalkicker with 41...
I would of asked for a kilo of the gear you were on.
It's possible. We can win it this year. _________________ Get back on top. |

He’s such a huge out. I think his leg speed and gut-running has been central to the vaunted change in our 2018 game plan. Time will tell, but I think it’s likely our season took a massive knock when he went down. Rounds 17-21 just got a lot, lot harder. _________________ Two more flags before I die! |

Too right we can Cam. I predict Adams will rise to the occasion now that Treloar has gone down. |

Still reckon our backline is so effective at launching ball to the most advantage
spots any midfield in the comp would rub their hands and say “You beaut—now who’s turn is it to get it to the 50 and goal”
This unit does not rely on one prime mover —it has many to capitalise on the work the back six do
Sure he will be missed —just like Robert Murphy was missed by dogs in GF of 2016

We are now a definite chance for a top 2 finish if we can maintain our current form. |
