Same as last week - not nervous. Will be watching the game at home by myself and the phone will be switched off to avoid the socials. Have a lot of Hawthorn mates that are always quick to let you know when they are winning. Obviously hoping that won't be happening.
Training will have tapered right down by now. Andrew Leoncelli mentioned on 'The Dees Podcast' that there is no fitness work, but only game simulation and kicking/handball drills. Players not being out there doesn't mean much.
His role seems to have changed from a pressuring small forward to an outside link type player between the arcs. Would explain only kicking 1 goal this year. Great coaching to not play him to his strengths.
Haven't seen anything yet. The article on the AFL website with the umpires last week appeared at 11.38 on Wednesday going by the timestamp under the headline.
Please not Nicholls.
Biggest disappointment today was the Jets not ticking over 50. Had their chance to late but took the knee. Weak. Does keep with the philosophy of not running up the score.
Spargo kicking goals is a bonus. His pressure is good and vision better than that. Was a great kick to Chompers for a goal in the first.
No change for mine.
