All of the war talk on this forum has become too depressing. There is an actual game tomorrow night.
Jones, Baldwin & Wanganeen all playing in the same forward line. LETS DO THIS!!!

A nice interview with the coach just before the season starts:

I see St Kilda being a team that could make a move this seasonā¦ I think they are likely going to be in that ābracketā with us so keen to see how we go, particularly in the first half, tomorrow night. I know Saints lost to FC in the praccy but I think they will look to step it up again 2 weeks out from the season.
With this being the only warm up game in āproperā conditionsā¦ I expect teams to go pretty hard for at least a half.
Biggest question still has to be our forwardlineā¦ I think even the coaches donāt fully know what our best set up. Iād love to see Tex given the nod from the opening bounce and see what he can do. If he canāt put together 4 quarters then no chance for AFL call upā¦ we have to have learnt from Hawks last yearā¦ canāt take half fit guys into games.
2 weeks out from season proper and the lid is way way way waaaaaaaaaaaay off!
From the the 26 players that played in the AFL last week I expect the following changes tonight:
OUT - Francis (sore), Kelly (concussion), Shiel (iso?)
IN - Ham, Durham, Bryan
Baldwin will play most of the game and I expect Wangeneen, Hobbs, Martin and Ham to only play a small part.

No injuries. Anything else is a bonus.

Dons by 42 pts.
Dons by 74.
Pumped for the game to start.
Big Boi Baldwin to dominate, Tex to clean up any crumbs. Of course our forward line is an unknown quantity right now, and it will take time for all the disparate parts to meld, but there is excitement writ large on every line. Go Bombers.

We should use it as a proper dress rehearsalā¦. I.e only use 4 on the bench and have 4 reserves that only play if there is an injury.
We clearly werenāt fit enough in the early rounds last year so fix that up.

Martin over Tex due to fitness ?
There are only so many who can fit on the interchange bench.
It will be showing on Kayo. Woo hoo.
