Brisbane's roster is insane.
With WT's present roster, can you imagine adding a couple of Brisbane's players to it......Haas and Staggs. Also Walsh and Cobbo if they could illuminate their brain explosions.
The show ponies have enough talent to take out this year's title but have they the work ethics and intestinal fortitude to get the job done?
Once the game starts, blind Freddy could coach that side to victory.
It's time for the players to put their hand up and take ownership of their performances, not the coach.
Remember the days of the captain coach. It was player first, coach second. In fact our coach was not much more than our captain.

Red Hill
Madge Peaks in round one! That’d be too much to ask..but I’ll take it

Red Hill can be brutal. Noones' safe in that joint.
On a side note, I went to their radiology dept last week which is opposite the league's club and it's very impressive. Coupled with the state of the art training ground and facilities the Clive Berghofer Centre really is top shelf stuff.

For sure.. I sometimes look at things a little deeper… perhaps too deep? . I’m wondering what Madge meant by “Ill take the blame for that loss” for the second question.. ..Does he mean he went too far with the players in some regard like we know he can.. by either putting too much fear into them or muzzling them too much.. Walsh made some very uncharacteristic mistakes (and Reynolds) I hardly noticed if hunt was playing.. That’s unusual.. Madge has always been able to talk his way out of a bad game. The next level below that is when he talks shit.. like this time.. it’s like he’s lost his sanity .. eg “I can’t tell you why but Ill take the blame for that loss. I need to tell the players first tho” and “I prob need to get to know the players better” . What could that mean? That was vintage Madge when he was in the throws of wt losses towards the end of his tenure here... This is club footy . A different beast from Madges recent highlights reel
