Round 27 - V Eels Sunday 6th September

[Dragon David]

Well chaps, thank goodness it is the last game for the Dragons in 2026. The wooden spoon is ours. A win against the Eels would be great but I don't think we will be strong enough to beat them. Looking forward now to next year.

Have to make some changes to the backline. Surely Dean, you can see it now.

I reckon he will trot out the same 1-19

 

[Justadragon]

We will train well for this one

 

[Dave03]

Dean did spin the dogs loss as a positive, talking about matching them in line breaks. Let's see how he tries to spin the manly loss & subsequent little no team selection changes.

Reeks of McGregor

He'll probably be comfortable being uncomfortable.

If Deano rips out any of the following I’m done:
Tries off kicks
If the field was 98m instead of 100m
85 mins from a grand final (his best by far)

Some of Mary’s finest

 

[Justadragon]

Anyway this game means absolute didley to me, we knew we were done after 6 rounds, which is disgusting and absolute filth. To me the players and club should be made to front the supporters and answer some questions. Once again we have to sit there and watch the other teams playing finals, a total f%$king disgrace. I see nothing in this game other than being flogged by another team not in the 8 but at least has pride. Dragons you have been diabolical and a total embarrassment, enjoy your holidays which the team already think they are on and enjoy the massive money you get making the club and supporters proud, job well done !!!

This 100% as you say Justa. Overall the year was bad from start to finish. Poor defence and attack. Even if we improve the attack next year, our defence has to improve immensely.

If they can jag a win next Sunday at WIN against the Eels then I will at least feel some joy.

.If this is anything like our last 2 outings Dave, these guys are already in Bali.

 

[Dave03]

hope hutcho gets a debut, would be exciting for him and the team

I am very comfortable with the fact that I am uncomfortable about him being coach for the next 2 years

He's not far off. 'Trained well' and 'equalling line breaks' is VERY Mary-esque

 

[The Word]

Similarities between the two of them for sure. Both true footy and club men. Both exceptional players. Both decent footy coaches and human beings. Neither of them are head coach material.

Analysis = true

 

[RandomDragon]

And to be fair out of all our previous coaches from 2010 on Mary was the best… you are all contradicting yourselves

How are we contradicting ourselves, we are describing the similarities between DY and Mary, if you think both are great Head Coach material, well thats your opinion. Hopefully DY with the new team does something next year, and I hope he does but up until then the facts are so far that they are nothing and have achieved nothing.

 

[Justadragon]

Well I think it was last season and correct me if I'm wrong please, that our illustrious team got bounced by 40+ in our last 3 games, well here we are 12 months on and guess what.

History possibly repeating itself - the common denominator being the one and only Dean (Craig's Boy) Young. He was the defence numbskull then and he is the defence numbskull again with some help from numbskull Tom Eisenhuth.
