I had a suspicion you were back smoking your tyre Filthy! Clearly you have returned to the land where fairies fly freely and pixies happily roam.

Firstly, who is this "core group of hardened veterans" you speak of? It appears we have Lloyd, Lucas, Fletcher and Michael, and after that nothing. Four out of a team of 22 is not what I'd describe as a "core group."

We definitely had a core group of established players in 93 though, with O'Donnell, Harvey, Salmon, Thompson, Wallis, Long, Denham, Bewick etc. Sadly, we are well short of that mark at the moment.

We are favourites for the wooden spoon folks. Let's not get caught up in the preseason hype that inevitably surrounds clubs that had a poor year.
Your cynicism regarding pre-season comments from players and coaches is justified, but I don't think you should condemn our prospects just at the moment.

We still have a very potent forward line and a good defence...at least IMO we do.

FB Ryder MM Slattery

The midfield will again pose the biggest problem for the EFC this season.

There's a good enough structure there that will keep us off the bottom, but that's probably going to be it.

Gee, no pressure on Stanton getting the number five.

I remember reading a story about Hirdy getting abused by a granny when he was given TD's jumper when he first joined the club.

Wonder if anyone else is going to bag Stanton on getting it and Gringo does not count.

Good luck mate - take the next step.
