*thinks to self*

Alex Morgan looks massive. Just saw a little girl eating a sausage with a can of lift. Don't have any money on me. Not a chance in hell will they have Efpots or PayWave. I should $4 in the console from the Boost juice I got this morning. Why does Kommer keep grabbing everyone's ass? Langford training with the midfielders.

Did you end up finding that $4 and getting a sausage? If yes, how was it?

 

[Vindicater]

Excuse me sir.

Where are the pictures of me?

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Which player is this? Is this Francis? Looks like he's go a bit of mongrel about him.

 

[Zephyr Effekt]

Going from those pictures;

Tom Wallis is tiny, the football looks huge in his hands.

From the way Parrish tapes his wrist and thumb, has decided to play like Hurley instead.

Goddard uses his time machine during training sessions.

Hooker is like 'you want me to play forward, I'll play forward, you want me to play back, I'll play back, you want me to entertain, I will entertain', throws his medieval sword into the crowd, then yells 'are you not entertained'.

P.S Hooker was given a warning by the coaching panel for bringing a medieval sword to training.

No Mongrel about it, it is a pure bred Akita, the most loyal dog in the world.

Given the last few years that isn't many.

When you see Dempsey looking so fit this year and you remember last year its both a positive thing that he is in such good shape but also a negative thing that his preparation hasn't consistently been to such a good standard in recent years. I wasn't one in favour of retaining him (mostly because of his age and where our list is at that i didn't think him learning forward line craft was really worth it) but I hope that we can see Dempsey at his best this year. He has the capacity to do some amazing things on his day and i can't deny that some of our younger boys will benefit from his leadership.

Momentum, I didn't think it possible but there's a little progress in those shoulders and arms.

Good to see he's finally getting some support too.

Going to be a bunch of tough campaigners to play against

 

[darrenbewick#8]

I wonder if JD is too tall to be a gun, has there been a player over 200cm who has really killed it up forward?

Salmon went alright

 

[hurlygurdy]

Someone put Salmons head on this with 84' caption... Ta

Do you guys think you'll see a new skipper for next year?
Is it a player voted leadership group and will Watson put his hand up for the job

Holy crap, as an opposition supporter who takes a keen interest in the dons this guy has bulked up!
I'm thinking break out year for this guy.

I'm guessing 50/50 chance. If there's change, I'd like to see Hooker take the crown. Hocking and Myers would be decent options also. I'm still not convinced Heppell is quite ready. There's just something about that bogan twang he still needs to iron out.

Turning into a big lad.

I'm going to temper my expectation as camera lenses can play tricks. Here are the common ones:

 

[harry_caul]

Watson stays captain.

Jobe unless he doesn't want it. If not him then I'd hope Hooker and Myers would be considered as well as Heppell.

 

[JD Tomahawk]

Jobe unless he doesn't want it. If not him then I'd hope Hooker and Myers would be considered as well as Heppell.

So what I gather from the replies is heppell is no sure thing for when the captaincy is passed on.
Is it due to how he faired this year as skipper?
