Wildcats @ Tigers Sun 2/2/14

I agree Proud, the lack of consistency across the league is tough for us Dreamteamers. Ennis is probably the one exception, I think he's been the most consistent. Even when he has an off night he still gets 15 points or scrape together 30 odd DT points.

I'm a little concerned about Melbourne, in their wins they are impressive to super impressive... In their losses you get a feeling like they are missing someone or something and sorry but Lucas Walker isn't that missing piece.

Tigers had what 100 dream team points and 86 of them were from ScoMo and Wortho... That is absolutely dreadful and I'm fairly certain that would be the lowest total dream team score for any club this season.

On a personal note, how awful was my guards for my dream team, Damo and Rotnei backed up by Goulding and Tomlinson... If be lucky to have 70 points between the 4.

I said it last night in another post but I'm fascinated at just who will be out of form this month as its really been a hit and miss season for literally every team and player

He didn't fly with the team, he was over there for testing last week.

It's been two weeks since he last played; I'd imagine he was cleared to fly. Although they flew him from Cairns to Wollongong the day after the initial knock, so who knows.

Uh the excess of red was due to a trip the Wildcats organised that corporate types could buy into.

Although the Wildcats do have, I recall being told, the largest entourage when they play away, this consists of assistant coaches, the conditioning guy, etc.

Ah, now that was a nice change of pace after the last few games. Just the sort of response needed as well... Good to repay the favour.

The Wildcats have been advertising packages for fans to go to today's game for a couple of months now, which was ridiculously expensive. So it was quite the opposite of the Wildcats wasting money.

> I don't see why the GM should be at all away games.
> Eating up the budget for no reason.

What makes you think he is at all away games?

Rules are set but are still up to the interpretation of the individual and varies with different people. The way things are going I can see the league turning into a style where the ball carrier goes straight past the d cos it is impossible to guard without a soft hands foul being called and dribble entry to a layup to draw a foul coz the refs have to "protect the shooter".
The game on Thursday v cairns was slow and boring coz the refs called every single soft foul. Let them play!!!!

Oh hellz yeah. Cats are back in business.
For the first time since Christmas they looked like they meant business.

Plenty of sooking from both sides, which I'm not a fan of, but at the same time the refs just keep serving up reasons to sook. Not shocking decisions, but to me they're still struggling to establish overall consistency in their interpretations.
Not a factor today anyway. That was a nice convincing hammering.

I don't think Goulding would've been too upset about the last charge call - I'm guessing he was more upset about the foul Damien Martin did on him prior to that move that didn't get called. Either way, it was poor form of Goulding to carry on the way he did once it was called and he was on the bench.

The more I watch the tigers the more I'm convinced that certain starters honestly don't think they foul. Ever.

I think Joey has this one for record on his DVD for later analysis.

Cats will win in what will be a crackerjack.

Reading some stuff about coach Curry thinking of moving Stuck into the starting 5, AI to SG, Hamilton to SF and Pcince to play slightly out of position at PF, Wallace at C.

Would it be better to bench AI? Have him play the spark off the bench?

Are they asking too much of the aging Wallace to play C alongside the thinest player in the L in Prince?

Hamilton got ejected last game, so he is clearly getting his anger on... more Billups trade fall-out?
