    You should be able to get a decent price about Freo missing the 8.

    True. I'm not taking much out of that game other than Freo probably played above themselves and Eagles were going at half pace...

    Plenty of Toasters, spruiking about a Feb practice match (not on here but around the traps).

    Pretty sure Dockers lost first up by 80+ against Carlton last pre season, so not think Ross The Boss would be too worried yet, but not sure they can get to the big dance this year.

    More important will Andrew Gaff ruin our drinking game when the Toasters play by venturing inside the tram lines to get a kick this season ?

    You'll be drinking heavily, as usual, Loose Goose!  He hasn't ventured inside since the Under 8 no tackle days...

    Spent some time at centre bounces in the second half of last year and has bulked up a bit this pre-season, how many of his draft would you currently have in front of him to date, a second year player copping a tag every second week, must have some kind of ability...

    I think it is fair to say given our list we massively underperformed last year, some of that due to a poor injury run and a coach that had lost his players due to external issues. Champion data still rates our list the second highest behind Hawthorn, am happy to have some more money on us making the 8 if you dont rate us...I have a pretty good record on here for winning bets.

    Someone has to fill the bottom 8 so it might as well be the Weags as the Tiges will finish 9th

    I don't recall saying anything about the Eagles and where they would finish, why did your interpret that I did ?

    As for Gaff that draft is looking plenty thin after a few years. Swallow, Bennell go alright, Sam Day yet to set the world on fire, Gaff ok,  Polec maybe this year, Conca ok, Caddy ok, Prestia, Heppell doing well. Because GC took large chunks out of the draft hard to line up individual form on a lot, but not seeing a super star in there yet and that includes Gaff.

    I think blind freddy could interpret your first statement was a swipe at Eagles fans bullish outlook in 2014 based on a 'practice' match. But as I set out in my previous post I believe last year was a massively underperforming year given our list and with a decent run of injuries and a soft draw we should be big improvers this year.

    You may or may not agree with that line of thinking and while some clueless fans may be basing their argument for improvement on that one practice game I think that is simply one part or piece of evidence to suggest improvement this year for the more knowledgeable follower...time will tell.

    I worked it out it , the word Toast  B-)  Of course they will be improvers this year, could not get as many injuries or play that bad again surely.

    Your not wrong Injury prone players, ah well they are injury prone players. Correct me if I am wrong, but Gumbleton may have had one injury free year thus far in his career, and Ellis maybe 2 ?

    Feel sorry for Gumby.  A good fella, and deserves a good crack at it.  No one I'd like to see flourish more.

    Hope he comes back from it, and can give the Dockers something.

    Another win to the February premiers, pretty sure we will be on top of the table after Round 23 or 3...

    Eagles won't make the 8 for mine. Simpson is tactically superior to Woosha but the list is overrated, a few more years of turning over the list and they're back in the game.

    Right coach, wrong list...for now at least.
