TOPIC:

The Roo's remind me of the Dockers in the early part of last season. Even though they had less possessions and inside 50's than the Dogs, their fanatical tackling pressure forced the Bulldogs into sloppy errors and they often just bombed the ball into their attacking zone where the North defenders had a picnic.

I agree that Wells was very impressive and he may end up being the X factor for them this year. Still a long way to go though as Freo found out in the 2nd half of last year. Will be interesting to see what depth the Roo's have got if they get a run of injuries, they have a few aging bodies in that team.

15 goals between two teams on a fast dry deck, must be Ross Lyon fault.
