No matter who is playing for us tonight all I ask for is 100% intensity at the opposition. They owe us supporters for that poor showing against the dogs the last Friday we played!!!

Last week we were playing the winless bottom of the ladder team and the majority on here thought we would lose. This week we are playing the second of the ladder team and it seems a majority think we can win. Blitz at its best. Bombers by 58 points.

I think we will be competitive, but their midfield and forwards will be too good for us in the long run.

I don’t see their fwd line as scary. They’ve got two kpf’s in effect on debut and Cameron will not get any space from Saad.
I think our defensive group is very strong at present
Midfield we match up well, and should have overall ruck advantage
The only question to me is can our fwd group put enough on scoreboard, cant see anyone starring unless TIPPA lights it up again but just need everyone to chip in.

For me, every game is a toss up. If it’s heads and we play as we did against Collingwood, we’ll win or go damn close. If it’s tails and we play as we did against Footscray, we’ll lose by 10 goals. Which will it be? Who the fark knows?
And if the coin lands on its side and sticks upright so we play somewhere between the two, we’ll lose, but we’ll put together a few 5 minute patches that do just enough to make us all angry that we don’t play like that all the time.

The inclusions are so welcome, the team will be up and about from the first bounce. Lions will not know what hit them. Expecting a good win. Boy I hope I’m not disappointed!

Didn’t help them last time.

Kick long to Belly/Draper/Stewart, they get it on the deck and then Walla/Smith/Cahill/Towner clean up. If we can get entries there’s enough talent to score. It’s on the midfield to get the job done.

Yep. Proper fwd structure should help our general scoring ability

Stewart will provide the key foward target we’ve been missing. Gotta get the entries spot on.
WE’RE DONE

As bad as Connor was last week I’d have kept him in if saad is going to lock down on Cameron.
Saad will have to sacrifice a fair bit of his offensive game so Connor could’ve stepped up.
I know he’s managed
