Prediction Changes: R3 v Fremantle

[frenchconnection]

Lycett is averaging 10 touches and 15 hitouts a game after two. Yes a goal or two would be nice, but we have a potent forward line (minus Hawks game), so that its not essential just yet. Given he's played 30 career games, and shown a lot to like, I think we'll give him a lot more time, and deservedly so.

It's hard for Nic Nat to dominate Hawthorn because our midfield has been getting smashed, he can't do a second effort if the ball is pinged from the contest by Hawthorn before he gets a chance. There are honest questions about the setup at clearances for the team in general. Another thing to note are that Hawthorn are a very physical and drilled team. They don't let him get runs at things, they always body him and restrict his run and ability to get into the contest. When the team is getting flogged it's hard for anyone to look good, and yes he's part of making sure we don't get flogged, but the team in general needs to lift as well.

I think this may be where we are missing Pyke's influence. Coxy just has to step up to the plate with his coaching.

You either have it or you don't with coaching as far as I'm concerned.

I will reserve my judgement until after this weekend before I will say Western Bulldogs = Hawthorn? Also Hawks were smarting over having lost to Geelong. They may go into the Bulldogs with a different mindset seeing they beat us so convincingly.

I would not be surprised if the Doggies got over Hawthorn this week. Not saying they are the better team this year, just that they might get over them this weekend. Geez the Cats got rolled by GWS who were rolled by Melbourne FFS!
If you aren't switched on in any given game, you are going down in this comp.

Yes couldn't have said a truer word. Think our boys may have got a bit ahead of themselves what with having beaten Brisbane so convincingly, and the media building up the Eagles to be premiership favourites!!

Wouldn't have thought we would have gotten ahead of ourselves after the Brisbane game, in which we didn't play very well IMO.

Dockers wouldn't want a sore Sandilands to go down early in the match

Yep, they definitely wouldn't want that
