Is anyone else worried????

[Sedat]

On-field I have few worries at all, except for the spate of KP defenders injured early in the season. Our list looks so much more balanced on paper than it did last year.

Off-field, I hope the smoke and mirrors are just that, and there's nothing more sinister lurking beneath the surface.

I think it's natural for everybody to have some concern with the injuries to date, but it's the start of the season!

There's no reason to be negative. We're used to adversity (we're Bulldog SUPPORTERS) - just about every year we have more than our share of injuries. At least we have them early in the season this year.

At least the coaching staff know who is definately available for round 1 and can plan accordingly.

Those who have viewed BF would know all about negative threads - some posters seem to hear bad news and run around like it's the end of the world (or like the '200 killer bees' advert on TV), with others joining in.

I'm not having go at you Easybeat, your asking a simple question that I'm sure has crossed our minds.

The fact is, that next week we'll support the dogs with the best team available they can put on the park.

Win, loose, or draw, we'll support them again the week after.

Unfortunately Aqua had to tidy it up and it's lost a lot of it's impact.

Just aswell she did that Scooper...I mean Sockeye - she literally walked into a War Zone!

Don't remember that. Was it recent?

Ah.. It's that damn school interfering with my BF/WOOF time.

Not worried about the year as I think we'll go a lot better than last year.

Injuries are a concern, but we'll manage them. Unlike some I have a good feeling about Doog's based on what I've seen this year. Will not be a lock down CHB, but a running/attacking CHB. Have also liked what I've seen with the Minson experiment. Enough there to suggest that we will be better for him playing a season out of FF then him playing in the ruck. Also happier in regards the draftees. All (except Wood) seem capable of playing AFL this season, though the extent of their contribution may not be great. Has been the first time in a number of years I have an expectation that pick 60 or so may actually play a game this year! Welsh and Hudson look like good additions.

Started off very positive.

Now l would be mildly postive still thinking we will make the top 8.

Hopefuly thats the worst of our injuries over with.....

[Go_Dogs]

I'm quietly confident that will do better than last year. Whether that gets us into the 8 remains to be seen at this stage, and our injury curse is already starting to drag us down, but a lot of our key guys have had better pre-seasons.

It's good to hear all the positive stuff. I'm in there for the haul no matter what anyway.
