Dawny and Ducky remind me of the old ducks that used to sit at the fence and hit opposing players with their brollys if they could get a shot. Simple minds but they add noise and spectacle.
The game would be sadder without them.
HC on the other hand? lol
As for this game the players better step up or the coach should step out. Worshfold has publicly stated he doesn't know if his heart is really still in it and will make up his mind at the end of the season. That is not acceptable. If the grind of 12 years has got too great them step aside now. Don't wait and see if the season fails then quit or if the season is good then stay. Take on an assistant role at the Gold Coast and assist Bluey (and get a passion again). Worked for Bomber Thompson. Worshfold looks burnt out and is being out coached week after week.
Dawny is right about one thing...they can wipe the floor with much weaker opposition because that is determined by the player group skills and not the coaching skills.
You can't blame the ageing list when Swans,Hawks and Cats are similar
