Need to sort out the forward line to play in his absence.

Just slowly grinding the Pies down quarter by quarter.
Good, consistent team effort.
Will be interesting to see how the Swans perform in the same conditions later today.

We've often had that in the past, too. The good thing is our defence has held firm and we haven't given away a lot of scores. Good signs to the season in terms of the ability to work through the problems.
Loving Preuss, he is offering a point of difference. Reminds me of Lobb in his marking ability.

Loving P’s long kick too, a valuable offensive tool.
Critical to the early HH goal running back to goal.
Almost duplicated the same play in Q3.

Torrential rain sweeping East to West across Sydney now.
We definitely got the better game timeslot today.
Could be ugly conditions for the Swans and North.

Green is unreal, so physical and strong when drawing contact. Bruhn pretty impactful with all of his touches, super classy finish. Thought the midfield mix was great the mainstays got plenty of opportunities but also mixed in the other as well.

Tanner and Preuss both play round 1.

We can kick 100 without TFG.
‘Good to go’ for R1.

The main thing is that we've gotten through these practice matches largely unscathed.

What do we think about the preuss tackle.
I think it’s lineball and should be fine, but who knows with the MRP
I really love Bruen. Going to explode this year I think

Jon Ralph only highlighting the Maynard and Krueger incidents in Fox’s post match review, so hopefully P is all clear.
Krueger is v lucky that Cal is superhuman and walked away, could have been a big suspension otherwise.

The Flynn-Preuss combo was interesting, and as a tactic specifically to counter Brodie Grundy is a good move IMHO. One that could be equally used against some of the other premier rucks or ruck combos (especially if we want to give Hogan a few games off during the year). e.g. Gawn-Jackson, Ryder-Marshall.
However, they played Flynn as primary ruck, and Preuss mainly forward, so I think if we play Hogan then Preuss won't be the ruck.
Defence will be interesting. I thought Keeffe was fine, but I'm not sure how many minutes he played (seemed not to see him in the second half, or was I just blind?). If we have Taylor, Davis, Haynes & Idun, I just don't see a place for Keeffe too - it makes us quite big at the back. If Haynes were out, they I could see us bringing Keeffe in and essentially use Davis and Taylor to replace what we normally get from Haynes.
The other questions around the mid/small forwards - obviously Bobby & Tanner will be in, Taranto will play mainly forward, so one more to come. It would seem likely that Stone will be out injured; if Lloyd comes up OK from his concussion he might get the nod. If not, then maybe de Boer would be the choice, Peatling perhaps, doubt that Callaghan gets the nod just yet.
