KK & Jack's avatars excite me in different ways

Chapman had 10 tackles and 111 dream team points Vs Sydney which is a big positive to do this against the Swans.

I don't need to say it again do I?

Judd scored 170 odd, that's got to be a record.

Bartel scored 183 points last year.

Ob-sessed.

Yeah, that's my cue to hit the sack.

Not a lot to be positive about. I'm positive now we'll finish bottom three and almost positive we'll finish last.....

But I though JR showed a bit. Looks bigger and needs to be persevered with despite mistakes. I thought he was promising.

Walker is developing beautifully despite some premature criticism by TCers over last few seasons. Murphy is class in a side with little class.

Houa and Scotland have been really good this year. After the Melb game last year I thought neither should ever pull on the jumper again. Scotland particluarly just didn't look interested and Houla piked. But thuis year Houla has been brave and Sccotland has been switched on. He really is a talent if he gets his head right.

I though Banno did okay too. Gee I wish we'd won the spoon in 04 and got Deledia. He is going to be awesome didn't realise how big he is but Banno did well

Houla, Walker and Scotland.

Impressed with Fev's work ethic. Could easily have kicked a bag.

Waite still kicked 3 despite botching a number of other opportunities. Sign that he's really developing as a scoreboard danger.

McLaren was excellent in defence on the Richmond talls.

Kept persisting, but we really struggle to match other teams for pace and run on the bigger grounds. We may not have a great track record at Telstra Dome, but we have a far better chance of winning there.

The transition is in full swing - from the list we had to have / decided to have in the face of the penalties, to the list we've been able to choose and select. Our youngsters are first becoming first choice footballers, of course, some development is slower, whilst some of our 2003 recruits have held their position for only so long until the weight of skill comes through to replace them.

How many of us really thought Teague etc. were 10 year solutions at the start of 2004?

Not me, despite the fact that I welcomed the choice at the time.

The choice of players was limited at the time. He was slow at the Kangas and wasn't part of the big picture. I just trusted Pagan because he knew him intimately.

I'm not that easy to please anymore.
