What did he say in his article today re rating the Dogs? (not available online)

It was mostly positive, the summary is: as long as we dont have injuries to any of our 6 elite players, and if our 2nd tier players such as (you know who....) step up, then we will do well under Rhodes more accountable game plan.

He remarked on Grant at CHB being good, Croft probably playing at FF, to watch out for Brownie, and also Skipper as being a smokey for a possibile senior spot.

Suggested 'dream team' was a little out, with Kritter at FB, Dimma on a wing, Wiggins not even on the bench, and a few other little quirks.

Thanks Stefoid.

I think the Dream Team was done by Michael Stevens. Sheahans article was surprisingly positive, better then the usual drivel that comes out of his mouth.

 

[OldSchool]

It was a fairly ordinary read with no real surprises
Spoke about the change of tactics and about the 'downhill skiers'

The Dream Team was:
Bassett Kretiuk Hargrave
Smith Grant Murphy
Johnson West Dimattina
Guido Bandy McMahon
Brown Croft Gilbee
Darcy Hahn Garlick
Int: Robbins Harrison Alvey Birss
Emg: Bowden Wiggins Power
Fringe: Cross Eagle Harris McGuinness Picken
Also highlighted Skipper was a player to watch

speaking of newspapers, i can't wait to read Robert Walls' fantastic articles on the dogs this year....and CARRO!!

Yeah same dd17 im sure they will come up with something interesting they always do not.I was actually suprised with sheehan hes usually as bad as the bad as them both.

Carro made a small mention today about our recent "small backline" problem. Little would she know that with Grant there We have a lot of height.
She probably can see the great year Richmond will have.

Im suprised it was as positive as it was, because of who wrote it.
But anyway.
Just about all the articles written on us this year has been positive, which is a nice change.

Sheahan just regurgitated the usual crap.

Backline too short, young guys must step up, Brown, Johnson, Darcy are good. Yada, yada, yada.

Grant is fine at CHB, but have we got anyone to play FB who is decently tall? Harris if he comes up, but thats a big if. Im hoping we dont have to rely on Basset or Croft sized players at FB this year.
