I’ll be happy if Joe plays 10-11 games.
The Dons will have to rely on Jakey Stringer and Walla again. Hope they both 40+ goal seasons.
Who's leading your AFL club's goal-kicking in 2020?
Politely disagree about the Dons.
Agreed about the horrendous finish to the home-away season last year. The Dons just froze against Power and Bulldogs. Winning one of those games would have meant that we had finished 7th and faced GWS (against whom we would have genuinely stood a chance). There was no way Dons were going to get past the rampaging Eagles. In the elimination final, skipper, Hooker, Hurls, Zacka to name a few were nowhere close to 100%.
This pre-season has been somewhat positive. Heppell and Hooker are the major concerns but I’m guessing they will be good to go from Rd 2. Not too worried about Chambo, hoping Phillips and Draper (whenever fit) make the the leap. P.S – Not even mentioning Joey Daniher – Even 3 games from him is a bonus.
The majority of the squad has a had a very good pre-season. Smithy coming back is a massive boost. Shiel became a much better player in the latter half of 2019, expect him to get to the next level. If Heppell and Hooker return on time and there aren’t big losses to injury, I genuinely think we could finish better than 8th.
Barring our skipper and Hooker – I guess everyone else has had a good pre-season.
