Tim Membrey may be another option.
It could well be Sebby who is our next Captain.

Re: The dullbogs say they are going to get physical against saints

This will be a massive test for our on field leadership. Players like Billing's will need to be up to the task, there's no room for bruise free footy in finals. Agree. Similarly - I'd very much like to see our forwards throw their weight around - in particular Battle and Kent. Wouldn't at all be un...

Re: Finals Predictor

If we don't beat the Dogs then it really has been a disappointing finish to the year and means we will have only won 3 games in 9 matches. Win against the Dogs and we might have turned a corner.

Bit going on in this thread. I tend to agree on one point, Max's 'technical flaw'. My opinion, in contests too often his hands are over his head not in front of his eyes. Apologies for interrupting the action. It's a thing for sure. When you watch him in slow motion on the replays his eyes lose con...

Re: Changes for the Elimination Final

This is the thing we need to get our head around, we fell into the finals with 10 wins and 7 losses in a much shorter season. If this was full strength competition we would be 2 or 3 games short of securing a finals berth Now I'm no Stephen Hawking, but 10 wins from 17 matches is around a 59% winni...

Bytel hadn't played at any level for 2 years and look how he came in and cemented his spot as an A grade midfielder from the get-go.
