I'd recommend watching the coaches preview: https://www.dragons.com.au/news/2024/09/06/coachs-preview-round-27-v-raiders/
Flanno with a few interesting answers. My fav was him identifying the top teams also put in a lot of work off the field in their preparation for footy. That's something he wants to improve for next year. I agree 100% with him.

I forgot about Sele. But haven't changed my opinion. Maybe Sele will be in at the start of the year if Flanno still prefers his old journeymen rather than good Dragons juniors but if some of those juniors were on the cusp of selection this year, I expect they'll be in next year.

Surely both Couchmans will be mainstays in the 17 unless injured.

Mentioned some very good Dragons juniors who haven't played first grade yet.

I'm going to credit Flanno for not losing patience with that moron reporter. Kept asking about "a fairy tale" or "miracle" and Flanno kept saying "no, not looking into that at all". Then reporter says "But what you win by 70...." and Flanno still didn't lose patience. Well done!

I want JDB back at lock, Liddle starting. Not heard anything about off loading Lawrie so he remains either as a starter or the bench. Molo only in the 17 for some size unless we pick up another big bopper after Nov1 or hold onto Vili Fifita. Have said about him before that with a lift in stamina and discipline he could be anything.

He's getting toward the end. Has slowed down. Better suited to prop with one of the Couchmans at lock.

Fly away Birdy. Good luck Marshall.

Yes and no. Jack has never been quick but he has been skillful and remains the same. Our best cover defender and as lock will jump into receiver more. Jack started at lock, played his best footy there, let him finish there I say.

Then chances are Max has been made an offer elsewhere. Have always rated him over Matt as the most skillful. Defense for both is their archilles heel.

Don't understand why they tackle so badly. Big enough, fast enough to be in position to make the tackle. So what is it?

Lack of committment?

Also announced that Dan Russell, Jackson Shereb, AlecT, Jesse Marschke, MaxF, Sav Tamale and Lomax are leaving, surprised they didn't mention Coric who supposedly is going, they also didnt mention Jack Bird.

Interesting. Wouldn't mind Coric hanging around at all. What about Muhleisen?

Needs to forget about football for a while and concentrate on getting better! Rough hand he has been dealt but it could have been much worse. Forget about a Dragons contract for now. I wish the Dragons could support every Australian who has been a victim of bad luck but they can't. Please keep him around the club for now to help him with recovery but scratch him from the top 30 indefinitely.
