No surprises there, but the players used to tempt Sydney fans into making the dreaded trip west are bothering me. It's billed as a battle of the big guns; Ablett, Bartel, Chapman and Mooney vs Goodes, Bolton, Pyke and Mumford. Wait ... what? Let's read that again. Ablett, Bartel, Chapman and Mooney vs Goodes, Bolton, Pyke and Mumford. A date with Mrs A if you can tell me who the odd one out is. And a second date if you can tell me who'll win this one."
    I've seen that ad a few times. I think I did a double take the first 4 times I saw it until I realised what I was actually seeing. Perhaps the Canadian Trade Show is in town or something?
    Today's a draft of your epitaph

    I would like to see someone (ie Jack) at least try and tag Ablett this time.. Roos joking last time that he had less possessions when not being tagged doesn't cut it for me.. Other teams seem to be able to keep him to less than 40 touches a game..

    Anyone got any idea who will be available for selection this week? I hope it's Nic and LRT for a start.

    About 10,000 to 15,000 less than there would have been prior to the weekends debacle!

    I'd be happy to focus on the process rather than the result. I won't mind if we don't win as long as I see 22 guys hard at the ball, chasing like hell, tackling with gusto and basically just looking like they want to be out there giving their all. Anything else will be a bonus...

    You never know we had a bit of a bludge last week so we should have plenty left in the tank for at least some sort of contest.........It would help if the cats rested a few.

    its time for ROK to wake up.

    we lost to them last year at ANZ by less than a goal and ROK had 28 possessions. we really need LRT back though, i hope he can make it.
