Hmm, needs more ambition. Campbell does a Blight and kicks a torp after the siren from 75m out. One or two posters self-combust as a result.

Just looking to build on the first month and start to be competitive for 3 full quarters this week. Saw about 2 and a half last week. Its building. Want to see the boys get around one another and pump up the 1%ers tomorrow. Gonna be a tough day but as long as we show some ticker it’ll be worth it.

75m torp is definitely in his range though

...yeh that’s gone after last week’s early start

 

[LB2Snake]

Some pretty strange non-selections. Anyway. See how we go.

Is Xerri not fit? I don’t get it..

Is Xerri not fit? I don’t get it..

Could just be as simple as seeing that in terms of structure alone Campbell improved us, and under a new regime he's been given a chance to improve on his personal form. As much as I would love Xerri in the seniors, being the number one man at VFL won't be bad for his development either.

I'm guessing that if Xerri runs out the round 1 VFL game fine and puts up good numbers again (the proper season being a much better benchmark than practise matches), and if Campbell can't improve his form, then they will probably switch.

That said, maybe his fitness/conditioning is under a cloud. He did have an interrupted pre season and then suffered a bad corky a week or two ago.

Yep. I remember Horace from a previous life

Decided 8/9/10 goals is an arbitrary pass mark, depending on how well we go and the system holds up. Just have a crack for four quarters.

Three of last year's top seven inside the first month.

That AFL fixturing guy really hates us.

We're not playing on mother's day this year, so cleeeeearly Mr Fixture loves us. /s

I can see us making it competitive for the first quarter....maybe 2 and then Cats kicking away.

Surprise me.

 

[Devington]

My fear is that it's their home turf, their pride is hurt, and we probably won't be capable of being competitive for the whole game. Geelong have a habit of burying poorer teams, and I think that's what we're in for.

Personally the three generalised things I'm looking forward to are seeing how we match up against them when both teams are bringing the intensity, how long we can maintain AFL standard intensity when it's needed, and to see if we can get a half dozen or so blitzing scoring chains from the back half again. LDU out hopefully means more centre square minutes for Phillips, and I'm super looking forward to that the most in terms of individual performances.

As long as the surprise is not: not being competitive at all... Which wouldn’t be a surprise.
But I agree with your initial statement.
Who knows, we might get our running game going and get a few early... But that might be hard to maintain with little space on the narrower ground.

With The Force getting up by a point and The Victory imploding I’ve had more than enough sport enjoyment this weekend. Today is just about continual improvement.
