GCS is a spoony mob and we should *smile* their eyes out. The market sees it that way. So does Hardwick.
Hardwick was at least pissed off to open the presser. On the brink of hostile. He's set to push back on any season over narratives from the media. Alluded to The Phoney Season. Said that sides that are 9-1 could miss the eight.
Hardwick said that this week fans will see us trying some new things. Interesting. He means it.
He was full of praise for Gold Coast because their form is no worse than ours. And Witts really will be a handful if Soldo can't smash into him for an hour. Hardwick prevaricated on playing
Ben "Dimma, Dimma, we can't hear. We can't *smile* hear." Miller. Said the Witts load would be shared between Soldo and the other rucks but would not commit to the idea that Ben Minson would play.
Interesting that he disclosed that Broad would get Atrosius and that Hardwick banks Broad to beat his opponents each week. And that Broad would beat Atrosius. High handed. Is he calling Atrosius a show pony? A peaheart? Sounded like quite a slap.
I don't like us first up and the Dump. But I really Hardwick sides the week after they lose the game but win the big indicators like clearance, scoring shots and I50. 60/51 I50 our way. Ouch. Even in 2012 we were reliable the week after that kind of number.
I'm interested in this trying new things idea.
