Just a quick mention on Buku , his hands are extremely strong , they are one grab marks at height , he has his weaknesses but they are becoming less and less as he matures.

Thursday night is massive, I hate the cats more than anyone it’s the one I really want.

I hate the cats too…huge game, and more so with one B.Smith’s mouth involved. Dangerfield injured is a huge out for them. Unfortunately Stewart looks like he will return. Like most teams playing Geel down there, you gotta get off to a good start. Let’s hope we can.

Thats the good thing atm ledge it's hard to mention everyone.

How good has Vandermeer been this season?
Last night there were a couple of one grab marks on a lead that was reminiscent of Brad Johnson.
His ability to antagonize the opposition is an added bonus.

His finishing has improved significantly it’s amazing what a change in hair colour can do for your confidence.

How good will it be to pull down the pants of the twin Scott's teams in the space of five days.
Footy show now mentioning us as top two, if we beat the Cats again, the rhetoric will step up, Barrett wil rave about us.
Who gets to handle the press in our group?
I'd call for the doctor, Duryea or Davidson, the former with more gravitas, being an old Dog now.
West is also kosher, has kudos by virtue of the way he goes about it, distilling dad's skills like Libba did and adding a few of their own.
West or Libba, Bont on the mount as always, distributing loaves and fishes, in the media.
We'll be needing media help to best control the focus so the boys can concentrate regardless of a tsunami of focus.

This was going through my mind last night. Laughing on the inside.

The Great Pretender
Oh-oh, yes, I'm the great pretender
Pretending that I'm doing well
My need is such, I pretend too much

[angelopetraglia]

Also. Last night. This morning. I keep hearing that the Bombers are still young and developing.

Do people look at the stats before saying this?

Players under 50 games last night. Dogs 7. Dons 7.

Average games per player. Dogs 112. Dons 100.

It's OK. The Bombers are young. We can give them a pass. What a joke.

Crap teams are always 'developing'.

Crap teams are always 'developing'.

This is true.

I thought I would watch Scott's presser but only lasted a minute because the dribble was making me ill.

One of the great songs from the mid 50s and so, so Essington 70 years on. Long may their "Great Pretender" reign continue

The rest are all Mids

The only thing that Scott said that made any sense , was that they tried and failed to curb Bont , to curb Dale , to curb Richo , to curb Libba , get my drift they DIDNT HAVE AN ANSWERE for anything we threw at them end of story .

Scott thought Setterfield did a good job on Bont... will be interesting to see if he gives Bont any coaches votes.
