FFS we didn't come down out of trees yesterday boys, Allaway, Ladhams, Cox, Hargraves, Francou for the year (for the Uninformed he's not included in the salary cap so no insinuations -okay) all to come back, a midfield firing, a dominant forward, gee if that club isn't starting to think about football in October well they can't be serious.
Centrebet have them on the first line of betting, gee boys, toot toot get on the train for Football park in October as you are dead set certs to be there at the business end.
Undefeated and they have barely played 8 quarters of decent footy for the year, only possible chances are to derail the North train are Port and the Dogs
I mean having played in 7 premierships if anyone has a right or the knowledge to pick a flag favourite it is Ginevar
So Wedgie, Dreb, Ian, Punky etc clear the diary for October......
You said it tassie and yes we expect to play finals and finish in the top 3 then we will see if we are good enough. If we don't ge the double chance this year with a much stronger list then we never will. It is too early with too many variables to be opening one's trap. We have long term injuries to 2 key recruits (Alleway and Walker) and injuries to Hargs, Koops, Ladhams, Howard, Cox and Coulter. There's 8 walk up starts and only Ladhams and maybe Cox are anywhere near certanties to play this week so you don't think that gives the bays a look in or any other team we play if we are missing that many? So until we get our best side on the park anything can happen. October is a fair way off yet!
