what is the thought? we only play brisbane once but unfortuneatly it is round 15 and brown might be back in the side by then

those sides we play twice look good, no richmond twice, and an easter monday start against the doggies

tough three weeks round 13-15

 

[MarkT]

As far as I'm concerned we are trying to win a premiership. Who we play twice means nothing if we are good enough to win a premiership and if we aren't then what does it matter if we finish 9th or 10th anyway.

The draw is the draw. We'll play whoever we are drawn to play and try and win. The last bit we can control and is frankly all I care about. Let’s get on with beating sides and forget all the politics Ed. Win some on field credibility and all the off field arguments will carry much more weight. I am sick and tired of draws, caps, schedules, gates sharing deals etc etc. Ed’s done the great hard yards to get us stable and financial. Now he needs to do it to make us winners at the end of September.

If we want to argue for a level playing field we have to travel, win a premiership and then argue without the sour grapes comebacks.

So in short, F@RK the draw, let’s just beat everyone, everywhere, every time.

 

[NICK THE PIE MAN]

Obviously, a very good draw.

Opposition fans will be moaning and groaning at us again but it's not our fault we have a good draw. Take it up with the AFL; they're the ones that love us as their cash cow.

No, the opposition clubs who do the moaning are the ones asking for home games v us.

F@RM 'em alll. We should just ask for a random draw and see who makes a buck from their own crowds with equal opportunity.

very happy with draw cause of brisbane playing 1 but at the gabba

 

[FIGJAM]

I agree with MrT!

 

[Ron]

I would be very dissapointed if we didn't start the season 5-0

We'll need it, the way we played this season we'll lose eight straight from Round 11.
