Eagles will not play with much of a gameplan and will likely try to own the corridor not to mention pack our forward 50.
Could be a frustrating game but hopefully not
Listening to Jeremy Howe being interviewed on the radio last night.
I think he mentioned that all bar a couple of the players at Collingwood had been infected with covid during 2022.
Given that the infection rate in the 20-30 age group is 50% at best this figure if true surprised me
The reality is that we rarely score heavily and our average winning margin is probably around 25 points.
Brisbane and Freo are likely to have better % than us come season's end.
Keepon winning is what we need to do.
One loss and we slip to third.
The games against Freo and Brisbane have almost become must wins
We "gave" one of the Fidge brothers to the inaugural Brisbane Bears.
Under the AFL rules each team had to release two players. Needless to say no one released any stars
Last year there were several games where we were say 20 points ahead well into the last quarter.
It surprised me that we did not use those opportunities to practice a few offensive and defensive two minute drills.
Perhaps the game is so unpredictable that there is little use.
On the thread title I'm not sure there is much quality depth at VFL level but the failures of that competition are so many that it can be hard to judge

1. Petty.
(Picket kicked key goals and Brown's ground work was great. Apologies to Petracca and Langdon )
Was surprised by Weid's absence this week simply because they know what they get from TMac and it hasn't been great for nearly a year.
Found the naming of Laurie on the extended bench interesting.
