Another BRAB preview, another COVID cloud hanging over our season.
Just when we might have thought we were out of the woods, and things were looking positive, reality comes crashing down. An all too familiar story in the last year, with another potential outbreak moving this game from QLD to Marvel stadium. When we are back at home again remains to be seen.
Our start to this season has certainly been a reality check. A 0-2 start is something that not many of us predicted, and suddenly we find ourselves up against a Collingwood side away, needing a win to avoid a 0-3 start. In other words, just when we might have thought we were out of the woods, and things were looking positive, reality comes crashing down.
I'm feeling confident that this week will be the week we bounce back. We we extremely close to a big win against Geelong last week and this was driven by a surge in the second half. This was driven primarily by the zest and zeal of Zorko, who seems to have come into this season stronger than I expected.
I still have no idea why we are finding this season so hard, but I really do think it comes down to our midfield failing to fire. This might be out of pure hope, if the rule changes really have caused so much damage to our game plan, I cannot see how we work ourselves out of that this season.
Key Focus: Bring Back the Midfielders, I miss the Midfielders
Outside of the complete cluster* of the first two weeks has been these two making an impact early on in the season. Daniher looks pretty good and Hipwood looks to be enjoying that role as a second forward. Expect things to improve as the year goes on. McStay's return cannot come soon enough.
Collingwood Though
Did you guys hear that Collingwood had a scandal? It may not have been apparent that Collingwood had a Scandal. Collingwood are in crisis mode and all the players hate Buckley. It is the end for Collingwood. Eddie Maguire would be sweating bullets right now.
Collingwood had a pretty good game against Carlton last week and are the kind of team that could trouble us with their relatively quick ball movement and speedy medium forwards. This is a big game for the Grant Birchall
's of the world as they justify their extra season at AFL level.
Changes
Just bring Ely Smith in already please. He has been starved of human blood for too long and I fear holding him back much longer will not end well.

Apologies for the average preview it's been a tough COVID day for BRAB.

- Lachie Neale: What has happened Lachie? I don't ask for much from you outside of consistent, brownlow worthy form and I just haven't seen it from you in the last two weeks. Once Lachie fires, I suspect we'll fire as well.
- Hugh McCluggage: What has happened Hugh? I don't ask for much from you outside of consistent, All Australian worthy form and I just haven't seen it from you in the last two weeks. Once Hugh Fires, I suspect we'll fire as well.
- Jarrod Berry: I need to you turn into Nat Fyfe ASAP Bez. Don't let me down.
