    They say that bad luck comes in threes.... I reckon we've got three lots of three this season West Dog!
    Someone at the club walked under a ladder whilst carrying a mirror, spotted a black cat and tripped over when he noticed the irony of the situation.... and all on the 13th of a month!!

    Seriously though, these outs open the door yet again for some of our kids and more importantly forces our coaching staff to think about fast tracking youth and playing around with tactics/game plans to suit the future personnel.

    The benefit of this is we will learn some things about some of our kids in the next few weeks that give us a jump on our planning for next year

    There is and this was my concern. It's listed as being the Thursday before Rd 18 but that's assuming a 22 round season. What I'm not sure about is if it's been moved back 2 rounds because it's a 24 rd season or if it stands at Rd 18. Given that the midyear point to upgrade a rookie for free stayed the same this season, I have to suspect that the deadline for upgrading rookies has passed and we won't be able to do so anymore.

    Bugger. I wanted Panos to have a run.

    Should we ice all our stars, start pre-season early and get a jump on last season's finalists?
    West Coast put the cue in the rack early last year too IIRC

    Can't see the point when mathematically we can still make finals. I know its an outside chance but no team is going to give up now when there is still a slim chance.

    Do you think the same way about Cooney? He'll never be what he was due to his injury. There is another big contract?

    Well maybe, it's something that has crossed my mind a few times while reading about his knee issues.

    Coons is a lot younger than Lake and I think if we can manage him a bit better he can produce some very good football. Less time in the middle and more time as a forward would be a good way to lessen the load.

    Re: Lake finished for season

    Tough times ahead I fear. Perhaps our two best players with doubtful futures and our best forward retiring.

    This will test the club and the patience of supporters. Expect to see a substantial drop off in social club membership revenue next year.

    All clubs need hope. I don't have a lot right now. Sorry for the downer.

    What do you mean? A question was asked I answered it.

    Because I've thought about moving Cooney on I'm saying screw loyalty? I'd love Cooney to finish his career as a Bulldog.
