Dons v Cats - TUES 25th 7.10pm @ the Cattery

I was stupid enough to listen to SEN this morning.

Some of the supporters over reaction to the win last night, is seriously embarrassing.

We sound like absolute numpties.

i think our number one priority should be a super classy and fast half back who is not a defensive liability honestly. NWM is ooc end of year. Kane Farell is a FA.

then probably a second gun small forward

a legit gun key forward and legit classy tough mid would also be helpful obviously

Suns will be really tough on their ground and the dewy conditions they play in regularly.

I believe Hawthorn are better than us now over most areas of the field, and especially game plan and coaching.

Splitting the 2 is a decent result.

Better thn his opponent i reckon, I really do not understand the point of your question.

Not a bad shout re: a half back who can reliably set up plays with incisive kicking. Add it to the list!

I find this an odd assessment, he was really missed last year when he was injured. He had a couple of off moments last night, but got plenty of it.

Merrett

Will prolong his career and open up midfield opportunities for players needing it.

I think he’d slice teams up back there.

We have some absolute ■■■■■■■■ fans, take a number of people on this site for example.

Still nowhere near the realm of FC fans.

He got caught on the narrow wings but kept persisting, he’s fine

People should know better, based on our recent history.

The last thing this young group needs is hype and unrealistic expectations.

With Brad in charge he wont let if happen imo

That’s an interesting one. Perhaps you’re right. We’d certainly need another top notch A grade midfield star to come to the club for it to be a net win for us though. I’d love to get a designated HB distributor and then allow Merrett to be deployed with flexibility on an as needs basis. But then again, I’m greedy.

I noticed it with Merrett, gave Kako a huge smile and hug after the 4th, but straight away just went straight faced and full serious again. They have been there too many times to start drinking their own bathwater again until real success is achieved.
