This one has had the kiss of death on him since Andy maher called him the next ken Hunter this time last year.
Seriously ? Andy Maher said that ?

Pretty much full strength, no Murphy but most teams will be missing one of their best a lot of the time.
Friday will give us the best indication so far of where we are, I'm confident of a good showing as I reckon that's a fair side.

Yep heard it one morning on the way to work last year and instantly wrote off skittles.
Could never live up to that expectation.

No Cameron Wood either. Maybe he can't be upgraded at this stage.

In a long list of dumb things, that is the dumbest thing Maher has said.

I remember going to his first training session and he stood out for me that day. It was the way he moved (and kicked the footy) that caught my eye. Sadly though, since that day? He hasn't struck a blow. There's time, but its fast running out for him.

No restrictions on rookies playing in the NAB Challenge. Perhaps, as Pratty suggested, they know what Wood can do and still aren't sure about Phillips and Gorringe.

Sure it wasn't a "plays like" or "similar type to" rather than a "the next" comment? Andy isn't stupid.
And if DVR is struggling, how is Jaksch going? Crikey.

Yes Wood is a season player, like Murphy and others on the list he doesn't need testing. SpecialK does need testing in terms of durability, the Philips and Gorringe need lots more game time.

Maher is the kiss of death, always has been and always will be. You do realise he was standing on the bar singing We Are The Navy Blues 5 minutes into the last quarter of that fateful Elim Final vs The Lions back in 2009. Really hate the fact that this douche is the unofficial spokesman for the club in the media.
