      1. We cannot replace Dahlhaus.

      2. Not sure we can ever rely on Stringer in a big game.

      3. Until we win games of football away from a roof, we're not a top side.

        1. This team believes they can win games that history says we don't usually. And they can win them, back to back if needed while travelling.

        2. When our entries are better, and forward craft better we are more efficient. The leading of Redders & Dicko show that we can play Boyd deep forward and have two good leading, and accurate kicking forwards around Bonts, Jake and others.

        3. We can address forward entries and goal kicking accuracy. Caleb Daniel is a good part of it.

            1. Bevo is not afraid to change things up - Stringer to wing, Suckling to HFF

            2. Bevo has confidence in his players, and gives them a big task, no matter how old they are. 6 players today with less than 20 games.

            3. Daniel, Williams - cool in high pressure games.

                Putting some words on the Weber, smoking them with some hickory. They should be delicious by the time 8:30pm rolls around.

                  1. We are starting to hold on and win the tight ones.

                  2. It's the youngsters that are willing us across the line. These young men, The Bont, Stringer, Libba, Daniel, Wallis etc. Are winners.

                  3. Redpath has only played TWENTY GAMES. You hearing' that? TWENTY GAMES!!!!

                  He really is on a massive curve upwards atm.

                    Redders has 14.4 this year & 35.13 in his career. With his accuracy him getting a few more marks and touches a game could take him up a level.

                      That's why you never post in this thread until the siren rings

                        We can now judge him, based on Sockeye Salmons rule.

                          1. You can win games with half a bench. I knew that but Collingwood didn't know that.

                          2. You can win games with a lopsided free kick count going against you. I knew that but Adelaide didn't know that. So we went to Adelaide to show them. I don't know if Mark Ruccutto noticed though with all the tears in his eyes from all the sooking he did.

                          3. Marcus Bontempelli is a star. I knew that. I no longer care if the media will ever work it out. Not one of them had him in their mid year AA team.
                          They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                            Our team has more self-belief in their talent and abilities than most critics.
                            Jake Neade is just a sniper. Pity our Cameron McDonald from the 60's wasn't present at the Suckling incident, very lucky you Jake.
                            Fletcher Roberts again did some good things, I hope he makes it for his and the team's sake, I was a very harsh critic.

                              As aside, if umpires won't turn a free kick over for what Neade did to Suckling then they simply won't free kicks over anymore. Until they change the interpretation one week without telling anyone.
