spirit of norm smith

I’d still bring Preuss in next week. He can play forward and bring in when Gawn needs a rest. Preuss also can handle some physical stuff and get angry. We need a bit of anger.

Injuries could make or break 2019.

20 passengers. Very disappointing. How can you be under prepared after 5 months. We were not ready. We were not hungry. 5-6 changes coming

Yes that’s why May and Petty are seen as the answer

Sparrow looks good. Could retain his place. A few others experienced players are struggling.

Really struggles. He has been exposed again as not good enough.

Rubbish 50 to Gray. Kills us

Yes watch how Preuss and kk go need them in

Agree. Need to get May Vdberg kk Preuss in. I like the physical intensity that May Preuss Vdgberg adf

Yes agree Wagner and Hore deserve their chance. Not in the best 22 so debut in MFC is a lot earlier than I expected or considered. Shows the team is absent 4-6 players.

Weaker team than 2018 And it’s ONLY round 1

?? 7 out of my best 22 May Lever Vberg J Smith kk Preuss Hannan

50 goals from Weideman is the aim. He needs to be the Hogan type now.

Cory Machaya out for 2019. ACL. Huge blow. Was showing huge promise.

5-6 experienced heads, a few 1-2 years and then some kids or suburban footy players trying their hand. A fairly light group compared with others but still a chance for top 4 in 2019. Buxton-Wales will be a good pickup. Good player. McCaffrey also could surprise a few.

Lockhart showed enough to be close to AFL ready last year. With a preseason now he could be very handy as a backup for Jetta or a lockdown mid. Definitely shows we nearly drafted him last year.

Add JKH, Harmes and Fritsch to the list. Jkh injury looked serious.

Injuries and inflated egos are our biggest worries. It does not just happen. Warning signs.

I’m off to China next week. Might sign a lazy 10,000 in Shanghai.

F type with full engine is like Clarry through the pack. Bring it.

Unfortunately Casey May have to use Sam Frost as a ruck role. Shows they haven’t addressed the key reason they lost the 2018 GF.

Smart call

Amazon anyone? That would be a point of difference. Dees need to think long term about new rising companies of scale. Amazon fits.

Yes 60 players confirmed on MFC and Casey lists. Not sure many of the Casey boys get a run unless we cop injuries. Hope we don’t but get a chance to rotate our youngsters in their first year.
