Training 2019 Pre-Season

I doubt the scum would have got us either if BJ was present

Top 4 has to be the expectation.

I’d personally be okay with a finals win & aim for the top 4/second chance in 2020 & a real crack at the flag the following 6 years.

They also absolutely fluked about 6 or 7 goals from memory.

Tippo’s Buck Show a few weeks back. Look who’s right amongst it at the front.

I’m more referring to internal expectations. They should be high. They need to be. There’s no great teams around at the moment. With even luck there’s no reason why we can’t win it.

 

[The Y Factor]

Top 4 has to be the expectation.

I agree and feel like it’s possible with good health and form.

The big gap for me is the forward line.

I can’t quite settle in my mind what the forward line is going to look like.

Is it as simple as Wood playing the Waite type but not exactly role? A running half forward/ lead-up type giving two goals a day?

I feel like we will pick up a few goals a game from Hall/ Polec and a more experienced Jy.

Just got that question mark as to what the forward line looks like?

Wood basically plays a Waite type role already.

Simpkin, Wood, Garner
Turner, Brown, Ziebell

 

[Mav]

A lot has to go right for us to finish Top 4.

Na, we just have to do less wrong.

The club is extremely impressed with Rhyce Shaw. Brilliant bloke, hard worker, immense football IQ. A future star in coaching circles.

Sack Scotts.

Sack Scotts.

What would we have done wrong if someone important got a Tom Mitchell injury during training, for example?

Atley’s better than Turner.

It's not set in concrete as blokes roll through the forward line. I expect B-Mac will get stints in there too.

Yep, Wood, Brown & JZ the constants with a revolving cast floating through depending on match-ups, conditions, etc.

Not sure what you’re asking. It’s not unusual for top 4 teams to lose players. We’ve lost players in the last 5 years but it wasn’t this that stopped us getting top 4, it was the stuff we did wrong that cost us.

Agreed. The Sydney game was the one that we ****ed up the most though.

Yep, those last 2 minutes were just football stupidity that reminded me very much of a Crows game some years back.

We should have iced the last 4 minutes when we were up, when JZ kicked that goal it should have been ICED

So many things went wrong in the last few minutes...

Absolutely. He would’ve clamped down on Devon Smith imo

But how would we have counteracted the arsey goals?

 

[Firestarter]

Get the ball out of their f50 properly?

 

[Horizons_00]

If our list stays relatively fit we will be top 4

I’m very confident but also nervous

 

[Val Keating]

They created chances and took them. I don’t remember heaps about that game, but I do remember Smith doing damage

Who are you referring to? I see Tippett, Luke and another bloke I don’t recognise

This x me

I hope the players and coaching staff want and believe they can win it all. Finishing 6th and getting belted in an interstate prelim is not the pinnacle.

Happy new year everyone!
