Finally the footys back and the main things im looking for tonight is:

1) A decent looking game plan and what see what Neeld has come up with

2) To win both games

3) Grimes to get through and no major injuries to anyone else

4) Clark to do well up foward

5) For us to man up our opposition. It frustrated the hell out of me last year when I looked down the field and see the opposition players loose downfield and they got easy goals.

Red hot go.

Four quarter two half effort.

Absence of bruise-free footy.

The rest can look after itself.

1. Wins

2. No Injuries

3-5. Not that greedy

The fact that it is probably going to be played in very wet conditions means that no injuries and an extra fitness boost are probably the other things that can be taken out of the game.

Considering how wet it is i just want to see commitment at the ball. Team mates creating for each other so options are there.

No injuries.

The heavy ground gives us a chance to win both games.

Wet weather changes things a bit.

1 - Our tall forwards to play crash'n'bash to get the ball on the ground and into the hands of crumbers.

2 - Someone to stand up and play as a crumbing forward.

3 - Serious contested ball.

4 - No injuries.

5 - One win.

Given the conditions and back to back games, I don't think two wins is realistic. Game one will really take it out of us. Nicely set up by the scheduling guys to make sure Brisbane gets the points I guess. We'll see how they really stack up in round 1.

Edit: typos.

1. minimum one win

2. no injuries

3. structure that can hold up under pressure

4. a forward press of our own

5. better skill leve (might be hard with the weather forecast)

Wallet, keys, phone , smokes & lighter

After that, echo those that want no injuries.

The conditions have dulled my expectations. Doubt the forward line will be able to set up & function the way Neeld is planning. And if predictions are correct about our new boundary hugging gamestyle are correct, we might get bitten on the bum by the NAB Cup OOB rules

So yeah, no injuries

Looking forward to seeing guys like Magner and Couch. In particular what kind of presence they have around the stoppages.

Could not have summed it up better.

Grimes on the ball.

Have a good look at Magner.

Clark to dominate the game against Brisbane.

No injuries.

A couple of wins.

Football can also be played in wet conditions during the year so this will be a chance to see a Neeld wet game plan. Could be a very interesting night as they would have known of the weather patterns for a while.

Small men crumb the packs. Kicks off the ground.

1) Co

2) He

3) Sive

4) Ness

5) Team

1 - Clark

2 - Magner

3 - Tynon

4 - Sellar

5 - Crouch

Hit targets

No injuries

Repeat 10 timesxxxx

1. A forward line

2. Long kicking especially from defense

3. Numbers at the contest

4. 2 wins!

5. Hard bruising football

1. No injuries

2. Bringing the ball back into play after an opposition behind.

3. Who excels in our midfield (Couch, Magner, Gysberts, Moloney, Grimes, Sylvia, Bail, Petterd, Green, Grimes...)

4. Grimes leadership

5. Our forward line set up.

.

If anyone complains about our skills tonight i will cry, possibly the worst possible condition to play football in. Incredibly wet and humid.

1) no injuries

2) structures

3) quickness of ball movement

4) competitiveness

5) set plays out of defence

given the weather, skills was never going to be an option,

lots of skills on show. pinpoint passing, towering marks, lots of 9-point goals

oh and lots of aggression

that'll do for starters
