What are we hoping to see in this game?
Personally, the last outing against the Cats was a semi glorified match sim. Similarly, I don't think it will be at breakneck intensity
Hope we see Marchbank come in, who I believe is a better defender than Kemp, even though he lacks rebound traits
Williams in for Cowan, as well as Pitto and Kennedy
Leave Martin and Walsh for the Lions
While it's good to see quick straight line ball movement, hope we see more overlap and hitting up shorter options
Lastly, more switches off the line

I probably could have worded that betterer......do we think moir will once again be chosen to play in the upcoming game against the dees?
Correct & Yes are my final answers. Lock them in Eddie.

Good preparation for the Gabba, it's been a hideously hot and humid QLD. summer.
I would also like to see more switching and 45 angles and cut back plays but Iāve got a feeling we are keeping these cards held as Iāve seen them last year but they where noticeably absent vs Geelong.
We might just play a basic plan vs Melbourne itās easy to kick to a player that manufactures space but some of those plays have a shelf life.
Ed did say the corridor was a focus but I feel we were going for the hardest sharp inboard options rather than manufactured strategic ones.
Every chance Iām reading to much into it but I feel the coaching department have some tricks that wonāt be utilized till season proper

Want to see the team keep working on fast transition from defence to attack - hopefully some personnel changes makes for better execution than what we saw in the Geelong match sim.
Expecting limited minutes for Williams. Kennedy and Marchbank to return?
Circumstances with weather means player management will be more heightened through the next two games before the real season begins against Richmond.

Definitely should provide a positive preparation, training/intra and also playing a few games in this type of heatā¦
Club might possibly head up a little earlish near the start of the week to acclimatise in the conditions, being our first game it certainly wouldnāt hurtā¦

Maybe the game will be closed up early like the VFL game if its so hot?
Regardless I think it will be similarly less intensity like the cats game but there will be moments they'll try some things out with the throttle pushed down.

in you go......1 - 2 weeks.....
I've still got a few of those myself. 1979 and 1981 well used.
I had a 1979 one I remember (junior membership) ...... Those were the days.
I miss the days pre bar codes, mobile phones and all the rest of this new age crap that can be JUST SO FU-KING frustrating.
We used to get by just fine without it.
And don't get me started on vendors not accepting cash........ (MCG and Docklands, what a joke)
It basically comes down to big brother watching every transaction we make and using that information for marketing, taxation, and a myriad of other things.
KEEP USING CASH GUYS!!!!
Here no cash,no cash here!

First match against cats was for blowing out cob websā¦
Iād like to see a bit more in this matchā¦.signs of cohesion and better well thought out ball movement. Slick ball movement that makes goals look easyā¦not laborious

Like the optimism, but what makes you think Walsh and Martin are certain for Lions game?
Iām even wondering if Williams plays v Dees
I wouldn't say certain, it will depend how they progress over the next week.
I think Williams will only be considered if he plays against the Demons, even then they may hold him back until the Tigers, latest after the bye
