Roost it far

It’s not uncommon to play with 3 key targets in a forward line. Your boy Jefferson better get used to that

I never did anything other than back him in so count me out. My preseason comments were club focused. Besides this is a footy forum, we’re hear to listen to opinions. Some turn out wrong others don’t. It’s all part of the ride.

I baked myself a humble pie after looking at my preseason posting, happy to bake another for a few of you who dismissed Petty. I make it with lemons, nice and sour.

Parfitt and O’Connor are hardly top liners. Dangerfield out was the helper

You’re all a bit sensitive aren’t you? “We won but Chris Scott and the media aren’t fawning over us” Who gives a toss, we’re clearly the team to beat. We play finals type football and we have the talent on every line. We also have McAdam, Bowey, Hunter, Salem and BBB as possible ins. I’m not sure what I was worried about in the preseason……..oh I know, the thought of May and Gawn getting injured.

I reckon the Blues might fall apart in the second half, I’m expecting a 5-6 goal win

No change except perhaps Bowey. It seems we set ourselves for these 2 games. I’d say the boys will be mint on Thursday.

Looks like my preseason doom has well and truly cleared. TMac you absolute legend. Now for Carlton. You get a real sense that they’ve set themselves for these 2 games.

You’re a special human

Goodwin appears confident. i like that. I think we'll beat them with a systems based approach. Whilst I agree it's a football forum but we've got a woman dying every 4 days, stats would say men on this site are abusing woman.........the men on here have likely got a friend who abuses his partner so whilst maybe we don't discuss it here it's worth thinking about how we as men can do better, because doing nothing won't help.

I’d like a running commentary and then a detailed report on each player. In particular Viney and Oliver. Make it happen.

He may just of been snorting coke all week.

I think Woewodin needs to model his game on ANB. He’s not the most talented but I’d bet my last dollar he’s prepared to put the work in to succeed.

Anything less than 60k is a fail

No it’s not, spuds of his magnitude would destroy any club, just look at the Dogs

Sure but he ain’t playing VFL

The Tiges had an above average list, we have an excellent list. It needs to win another flag

The closer a game gets the more confident I get. Geelong and the media think the Cats are better than they really are. The Blues should’ve beaten them even with a poor defensive effort. Now replace that defence with ours……feels good doesn’t it? On top of that Dangermouse was responsible for 5 of their goals. He’ll be sitting in the stands wishing the nightmare unfolding in front of him would end.

Petty won’t be playing VFL, say it after me PETTY WONT PLAY VFL. How did that feel?

If Rory Lobb runs out in a Melbourne jumper our window is closed for ever

Geelong haven’t played the best defence in the world yet. I reckon they’ll take away some learnings from this week.

If he were to quell his output he may save us 5-6 goals though?

🙏

I’ve watched that game several times. We had them on toast. Fritsch and TMac kick very gettable shots and we’re in the Prelim. Wasted opportunity, we’ve now got GWS, Geelong and Carlton pushing hard to be better than us. The next 2 weeks will give us a guide but this year above others we can’t afford injuries and we have to go top 4 and get a QF at the G. Saturday night feels like a massive opportunity to get a very important 4 points and show the comp who’s still the boss. I will say that we’re performing far better than I thought we would 8 weeks ago.

I’ll be fffing livid if we finally have an A grade father son and he heads to a franchise coached by Hardwick. That’s like waking up from a nightmare into a nightmare.
