Sounds very NFL.

There is an obvious correlation but if the NFL never had any set plays or we didn't know about it the playbook for our sport would be needed anyway

Stands to reason mentality. 

Ice hockey has a lot of set plays as well ... same as soccer,  League & Union.

I’m not keen on the team selections. But shall reserve my judgements until post game. 
 

Confidence is not high here.

Nice day for footy, I take it there’s a decent crowd gathering at the ‘G?

The seagulls are not social distancing. Selfish bastards. 

[Macca 16,969]

And if we dominate from the stoppages you'd like to think that just by the pure numbers involved,  we'd have enough clean and crisp clearances to turn that into an advantage

In 2018 we did that to a certain degree but in 2019 our clearances were often without any purpose whilst being delivered to a dysfuntional forward line

So where does the braintrust exist ...amongst the personnel involved or the 2 blokes (Plapp & Matthews) charged with organising our midfield and stoppages work?

A few questions will be answered today. Are we still the same side that lost  last round 2017 or can we emulate 2018? Does Goodwin have a plan B ?

Have we put someone else on the front now or just moved Zurich?

Hmm... Somebody mentioned Collingwood had their foj sponsor in that spot too...

Reckon the AFL have allowed that spot on the jumper for more sponsorship revenue

What's the reasoning there?

Geelong's got Ford in that same sport.

Zurich still on the front for us.

Will certainly be watching how we deliver the ball into our forward 50. We have gone with a smallish forward setup so we better not be bombing long to the square!

[censored] I miss the 'G.

Huge experience advantage for Geelong  and we have a very young side.

Will make it even more sweet when we beat them.

[BAMF 4,353]

Looks like Jayden Hunts long sleeve top does not have the sponsor on the back.

Must have been done pretty quickly

Agreed.

It hurts watching the game at home.

mmmm, sense of humour switch on zero today.

I can understand, we’re just visiting, others own the site and can get sued but geez that was gold.

[titan_uranus 25,018]

Goodwin in the interview on Channel 7 just now said we need to win the stoppages, get it in our forward half and keep it there.

Our 2018 mindset remains.

Seems like we’ve been the younger side in pretty much every games since 2008...

God damn, please tell me that isn’t the norm? Going to have tops like the bloody NRL where you can’t see the top due to all the stupid sponsors plastered all over it.

The blue rectangle over the red is putrid.
