Round 18 - "New" Dons

I don't understand the Dons at the moment ... but one thing is for sure - Hille and Ryder are our most important players. They change everything for the forward set-up. It means one rucks and other drops deap into the forward line, which means the likes of Neagle and Gumby get some space, and then Monfries can run around in front of them.

Also, Hurley is a better defender than forward. And Fletcher is a master! Plus Stanton off the half-back line was brilliant, and why has Houli not been in the team??? The guy burned up the Saints when the game was on.

But the truth is the Dons are out of the finals race. I think Knights and the team have a long long way to go before they can really be "respected". And it seems Knights knows this too - he said the Dons have to be able to beat teams below them and win interstate. That is the difference between playing finals and not.

Let's see if the "new" Dons can thump the Blues.
