We were close to full strength this week.

We get Clark back this week, only missing 2 or 3. Ryan, Switta maybe 1 more
What is up with Switta? (Away at the moment and didn’t hear why he missed). Very important link player.

Ryan should come back this week along with Darcy, which is fantastic.

I skipped a bunch of pages of live commentary, so not sure if it’s been mentioned, but one little thing worth noting about the scratchie is Bolton’s shot on goal late in the 4th. About 45m out (from memory), approached it straight, without swinging out to the right, and split the posts.

Hopefully that’s confirmation of reports from a week or so ago that they’ve been working on his set shot routine, and it’s already paying dividends.
 
We need to learn from that dumpster fire of round 1 last year. I’m so annoyed we’ve ended up fixtured against them again away.
We need to start the game strongly and take the Geelong crowd out of it. If we start half asleep like last year or like Saturday we will get blown away again.

Big test of the ability of our coach and leaders to fire the team up.

I agree, the challenge here is that the stupid opening round bullshit means Geelong have already played a game and will be far more match fit. This wasn’t even the case last year as their game got cancelled in OR last year.

We need to be super switched on knowing the Cats are going to be more match sharpened than we are.

It goes without saying that Opening round is an absolute joke that it causes this issue but regardless we need to be up for it.

I hope its ok to post here!

How close to full strength are you expecting to be for next weeks trial in Mandurah?

Do you have many injured players at the moment?


A few people have mentioned Darcy is out, but the club says he's supposed to be back for the Mandurah match-up. Our medicos do like to, uh, lie to all of us about return times, so grain of salt.

Honestly reckon it’s because they were set to play OR and didn’t last year. Had blue balls to play footy so that extra week off had them extra pumped. So I just hope no more cyclones
 
Not that one. There was one on a friday a few weeks earlier. It's not a snipe at Reid because McVee is a good defender.
Good to hear about McVee because I thought he was a bit off the pace on Saturday morning. Perhaps he is focusing on defending first at the moment. Hard to see his defensive efforts. Would like to see more offensive kicks from defence.
