Leaving aside all of the commentary, it's genuinely exciting to be a Blues supporter at the moment. We haven't even seen SPS yet! Go baggers!

This needs to be a full dress rehearsal for round 1.
Don't really care about the result, but i'd like to see alot more fluent football than what we have seen in the first two weeks of the JLT series.

I guess it depends on how settled the starting lineup for round 1 is.
I'd suggest Palmer, Smedts and Marchbank are locks to play but the door may still be open for the likes of Cuningham, Pickett and Fisher to debut - even if their aerobic fitness and ball winning ability is a way off AFL standard. At which point do you say to the likes of Thomas, Lamb and Boekhorst - sorry folks if you want to play against the Tigers, star with 30 possessions in the VFL or else?
Forward line still a mess - give Le Bois another hit out.

I share your confidence...i hope he can get some game time in JLT 3...

It's an 8 man bench as it turns out, but full quarters with regular time-on rules.
Chuck Smedts and Polson into my team.
He[sumner]has not been seen anywhere,got a glimpse of him in rooms in JLT 1 when Gorringe injured his achillies.He seemed to have a slight limp ?
That dont make sense and he isnt on injury list,so he may be on a limited program or they are just going to save him for round one?or he has other issues or something has happened we dont know about?
SPS should play this time in JLT 3....cant wait

It was the last preseason game of 2015 when Cripps first took control of a game. Would be awesome if some of the 2015 draftees (Weiters excepted) can show they can play a full 4 quarters at a good level. Charlie to get 20+ and a couple goals pls.
Is SOS fit to play? (is there a reason he missed last week when the other 4 draftees didn't?)
Macreadie, Fisher and Polson all have a shot at round 1, in that order imo. Macreadie looked more comfortable than some of our senior players on the weekend. Keen to see them all get another run on Friday.

I'm trying to stay positive ahead of this weeks game. Important to put up a top standard effort and give us momentum heading in to round one. Not paying too much attention to the last two weeks and not panicking just yet. Let's see what happens this week. A victory over Richmond round one to kick start the season would be bliss. Go Blues.
Macreadie puts in another game like that then he would have to be a very very good chance for round one. Releasing weitering forward more isn't a bad thing!

Bolton made specific mention of macreadie in his ask the coach bit on the afl website. Could be a good chance for this week.
Weitering due for a rest, you'd think.

That'll be an interesting run for SPS, given there's currently no VFL game after this weekend until 3 hours before round 1.
Haha . Dunno what he meant by that then , maybe VFL match sim?
But whatever he meant, the good news is he's fit and ready to play a match.
As much as I'm hanging to see him in the team, don't rush him. Round 2 will do
How are we going to push FREO and get into round one form....we got to hit them with everything and hope for a very close game.
If we pop out to a few goals in front then you will see the Weiterings,Murphy ,Gibbs,Cripps miss a quarter as an example...
As much as we would like we wont field young teams in the AFL like we did in JLT 2...its a strong draft this year but Bolts wont tank...we will fight with our best as we did last year and may even do better the second half of the season with two preseasons under Bolton.We will see plenty of our 2nd years though and our best first years will also.....[SPS]
the rest via VFL...and should do well there and some may push through late season....
-Fisher
-LeBois
-Mc Creadie
-Polson
-Williamson
-Kerr
some of these wont make Afl standard and will need to be evaluated in the Vfl at Northern.

Hopefully he means this weekend's VFL match as they didn't want to risk him taking the plane ride and cramping up, but I guess we'll known with squads out tomorrow!
