    Opportunities 5 to 1 - 2019

    Ok reading all our posts over the last few days and I fairly confident we can put this season behind us. If so what is Bevo going to do?. If we get into the finals look out as it would be a huge launching place that true belief come from and we could again revisit 2016.

    Anyway with 5 games left and a forward view to the future what are 5 things you would like to see for the rest of the season.

    I've listed my 5 below

    1 - West to get a senior call up and play the last 5 games unless injured
    2 - Morris to play out the season and offered a contract for next year
    3 - Sweet to get a senior call up
    4 - McClean and Richards to come back and rip it apart before years end
    5 - Of course win the remaining 5 games and sneak into the finals
    BB.

    Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

    Re: Opportunities 5 to 1 - 2019

    Good thread

    1. Love to see some written off players surprise us. Dickson, Dale, R. Smith etc
    2. Liberatore to make a full come back, moving well, his old self.
    3. Like us to rest Bont and win convincingly without him
    4. I'll get hated for this one! Dunkley to be given more time forward. We know he's a beast already. Let's test some others in the junk time of the year.
    5. Play English and Naughton forward just because it's something that would be fun to see.

    1. 100% plus effort from all players and to be competitive in the last 5 games

    3. Williams to be given a contract
    4. Clean out of assistants
    5. Record another $1 million profit

    1. Jake Stringer is found out to be having an affair with Dyson Heppel's partner, Michael Hurley's partner and several of the coaching staff's teenage daughters. And he's caught stealing pens from the office.

    2. Tom Lynch requests a trade from Richmond.

    3. Jaeger O'Meara, Tom Scully, Chad Wingard and Jeff Kennett are filmed snorting cocaine together in a sauna in Toorak whilst making appalling sexist jokes.

    4. Andy Maher is given a word limit when asking a guest a question. Like..............maybe down from 300 to 20.

    5. Cats get a home final and LOSE by 100 points.

    Re: Opportunities 5 to 1 - 2019

    1. Jordan Sweet and Rhylee West to get a senior call up
    2. Maclean to return to full fitness, blast the last 3 games with 30+ touches and 2 goals and storm into preseason
    3. Bailey Williams to play the remaining 5 games - turn around whatever s*** is happening off field, return to 2017 form and sign on for another 3 years
    4. An upgrade in the assistant coaches panel - Brendan Bolton perhaps to come in a development role
    5. Scrape into finals. Play the bombers, knock them out

    Very much the same as Flamethrower.

    1. Win R19
    2. Win R20
    3. Win R21
    4. Win R22
    5. Win R23

    We make finals 13-9 and then win 4 in a row and are premiers!

    I’d replace your number four with something else awful to befall the Bombres. Their good form at present is as irksome as the Dogs poor effort on Sunday. They will be insufferable if they make the eight.

    I can’t decide between them making the finals and being as always comprehensively trounced; making the finals and losing because of a passage of play that somehow involves a series of mistakes from their so -called big name recruits and then culminates in Jake being a show pony in the goal square, falling over and costing them the match; or a shock revelation on the eve of finals that WADA has located new incontrovertible and appalling evidence about the doping regime resulting in them being kicked out of the competition forever.

    Actually it’s number three all the way.

    And the amount of time I’ve spent on this shows, sadly, that I think 2019 is done for us.

    Re: Opportunities 5 to 1 - 2019

    1. Play English from goal square with West at his feet. All other forwards spread to different parts of the 50.
    2. Play Sweet as main ruck.
    3. Play Lewis Young as full back.
    4. Alan Richardson or Brendan Bolton as a senior assistant coach for next season.
    5. Naughty back to backline to start match.
