What are the odds on a third team in a row coming out of the blue to win the flag, at the start of the season or even at this stage in 2016 and 2017 very few would have been saying the Dogs and the Tigers.

Demons? Magpies? Eagles? Kangaroos?

Roos would be amazing if they manage it.

Never thought about that. Maybe over at the Southport Sharks ground, not too far from Metricon. I'd say they'd have the best facilities on the coast after the Suns. Plus, you can play some pokies after training.
Thanks, thought it might have been the Sharks but hadn't heard it mentioned......Great setup at the Sharks. My son played for them a few years ago now .

You have to question the worth of North jumping up the ladder to just outside the eight again. They desperately need some young talent. Unless they can pull off one of these massive recruits they’ve been going after they only seem to be getting further away from their premiership window.

They have one of the best midfielders in the draft pool heading to them through their academy. I think bottoming out isn't necessarily the best tactic... Look at the Demons, Blues and us. It can set the club back for years. Creating a winning culture and learning how to win games is far more important.

Maybe Scott from the GC academy as well.
