We made a great start vs the Weagles but the Cats are coming off a shock loss to GCS and will be looking to make amends. Bombers should be able to field a stronger team than round 1, with Stringer and McKenna likely to return.
I think we’d all love to see the same commitment and skill level that we saw last week.

What a terrible time to start the game.
Anyone not west of the CBD won’t get home before 10.

To be fair, regional people often need to drive long distances in the dark. Get into the regional mood.

Standard injury mitigation strategy of resting Lav. Why do we play Cats every pre-season?

A win? That’s very conservative of you. We’re gonna win both the BLT and VFL games.

Because the cows, sheep and crops don’t care what day of the week it is.
Ham supporters would like to thankyou for acknowledging his rightful place on the wing.

26, ie, 8-man bench again.
I wonder if we’ll do that? It would mean that we’ll need to drop a couple of the youngsters. Ideally I’d like to see them get another run - particularly Jones, Mozzie, Lockyer + McBride.
Will Cutler be available?

Hibberd might be ready to go also
Stewart can’t be far off either but perhaps lower intensity/able to be managed better VFL practice match might be best for him first up
Cutler if whatever ails him from Dees game sorted
