Yeah, didn't do much last time we played, but popped up in the last quarter and helped them over the line.

Would much prefer Cyril being out as well. Hoping he's a late withdrawal.

I agree on the excitement front. I've been itching for this now ever since the teams were named.

Regarding the youth of the team, probably the aspect that has me so excited is that other than maybe Weideman, you couldn't say that any of the young players are there outside order of merit. They're talented, they're ready and they're taking over. Bring it on!

Other than Salem this is virtually as good as we get from a pure talent point of view.

It's hard not to be excited. 

(although I still live in hope - perhaps misguided - with Trengove)

Well we would want to play 100 times better than last week. Looking forward to seeing what Sam can do in his debut game. I doubt Hogan will play but hope he does. There backline could just crush our young forward line. 

But all I wnat to see is competitiveness.

lol i predicted a 7 goal win last week, so you are not only wrong, but seem to be one of those supporters who cant think beyond "Go Dees". 

I wont get any enjoyment out of being flogged today. None. 

We need to win, or at the very least scare the bejeezus out of Hawthorn to get much out of today. This constant mantra of "maybe next year" has worn out its welcome.

 

 

His post best not be taken with any seriousness.  Only a fanboy cheerleader.

Go Dees.. just give us intensity and effort for 4 quarters please

[Deemented Are Go! 3,677]

What with all the excitement of the young bloods, I'll be watching Bernie and Jones with interest to see how they can respond after poor recent form.

The kids are full of promise and talent, but still require decent leadership.

BTW, can we tag Mitchell?

 If they want to win, that is the starting point.

Tackling pressure is the next.

In rnd 11 Vince, Tyson and Jones took turns getting in his face and were the 3 best midfielders on the day. 

And Jack Viney is in this time!! (out suspended/injured for last game)

They know what to do and will get the job done!!

What could go wrong?

I'm not sure what to expect from today, but I'd just about put the house on Bernie and Jones responding strongly after last week.

If Viney dont get ya .....Petracca will.

We will win the comtested ball. The Hawks don't rate that stat and are no good at it. They will beat us on the outside. The key will be whether we can keep possession of the ball and not turn it over. The Hawks will smash us if we turn it over. HIt targets and we can beat them

And if Trac doesn't, look out for Clarry!

We fell over the line against a decimated Gold Coast,

Go in this week with an even less experienced side,  

Playing the best team of the past decade

And STILL people think we will win? 

Sometimes i just shake my head................ 

Make no mistake, this team will be good. Its the beginning, not the end.

Right back at you, kid.  You're welcome to support another club if this one does nothing for you.

I agree. I actually think we have the makings of a very very good team.

Cant see us getting close today though.

[DemonOX 8,779]

I will be surprised if the Hawks get out of second gear today to beat us. 

I dream of the day we beat those mustard yellow dawks. 

[JV7 2,350]

No late changes 

[Moneider96 1,045]

This is one of those games where if win, it will be great, and if we lose, it won't be that disappointing. 

Good to know I won't be getting too [censored] off today.

You're right in that if all things are equal and we have a crack and just fall short, I'll be able to live with that. There's still plenty of scope for getting p'd off though, make no mistake. If we come out asleep I will be dead set ropable. 

Not expecting that to happen though. 

[The Chazz 4,077]

Hogan out, Pedo in.

Frawley out.  The Weed to kick 6.

[boydie 655]

I wonder if Watts will still play 2nd ruck now that Pedo is in?

Depends if they're after consistency. Logic suggests watts plays hogans role and Pedo takes watts' role. Consistency suggests Pedo straight replaces hogan.
