I'm relieved Marchy is out, but nervous cos Durdin is in!

Far from stable line up is always cause to be edgy.
Should be relaxed and cocky about this game but far from it!!

Having said that

Us by 54.

Giddyup Blues!!!

 

[Dunna Heartknee]

I'm rapt Durdin gets his chance.
I truly hope he has a great game and makes the position his for the remainder of the season and beyond.

 

[BlueTang]

It’s getting close to finals and what I hope to see is all players with a ‘team first’ attitude. Charlie was a bit selfish at times last week, and against GWS it felt in the second quarter players were starting to take shots rather than using the best options nearby.

2 losses where we should have come away with wins; hoping as the expression goes the penny has dropped for some and the team as a whole plays furiously together today.

Blues by 29 points

It is that sort of game. We could, maybe should, win by a decent margin.

Swans flogged them in Sydney when the ladder leaders were coming off losses. They will either be deflated or determined to redeem themselves after an “embarrassment”.

They are improving, so we need to bring our A game. We seem to be flirting with structures and line up a bit. Hope we give them some respect.

Charlie is the type of player that should be aiming for Norm Smith’s, not Coleman’s.

I'd happily settle for both.... but get your point.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Getting to the pointy end, time to get serious fellas.

On paper the forward 6, bar Martin, looks pretty good, lots of options.

Plenty of pace off the bench too.

Looking forward to seeing Motlop perform a bit of wizardry at the feet of H.

Pressure, pressure, pressure.

No excuses today, otherwise toys will be tossed & angry words will be typed.

 

[no. 4]

Looking forward to seeing Motlop out there. If he can get himself 100% right then he could be a real threat for us in finals. It's a shame he got injuries when he did after having a big pre-season.

 

[Arr0w]

Hope Cowan plays the intercept role today, but most likely it will be Newman

We will be in trouble if Nigel doesn’t stand up….who is back up in defence with no kemp and gov?

It’s been a while at AFL level but my distant memory of Durdin was how assured he was in the air & his decision making.

It will be really interesting to see if they swing him on to Larkey at some point to free up Weiters

Hope Durdin plays well and holds his spot - would love to see a combination of he, Weitering and McGovern. With his kicking and ability to read the play, a freed up Weitering would really. Hange the dynamics of the backline.

Cerra to halfback this week?

Forward line looks more balanced.

So random question, but since all 3 listed emg are playing in the VFL game right now, what happens if we cop an injury during the warm up etc? I assume we need to request permission from the AFL/pay a fine to play someone who wasn't on the team sheet?

Think Kemp got held over. I haven’t seen him in the last quarter

Where did I say it was guaranteed.

Ladas are highly regarded in Russia too

And by mechanics and their bank accounts.

Kemp held over

Think you’re right but a small part of me thinks Cerra will be trialled in the role this week.

Think both Kennedy and Cerra will spend time in the back half

 

[Arr0w]

Logue normally does well on Charlie, Harry need to present hard today

 

[no. 4]

I really want to see a big first quarter. Despite us getting up the past few games against North, they have got the lead early in those games. Need to show intent from the start, not take a slow start to then switch on in the second quarter.

 

[Number_9]

Anyone else feeling sick in their stomach? Wish i could trust this team but i just have a bad feeling...
