Norwood without a win this year, the umpires would be loading the catapult to shoot us into the sun.

It's funny cause it's true. The treatment we'll get today will be more than questionable.

I'm positive that playing at home gives us a good shot in this one. I think our form the last few games has been good enough to get the job done, just need the mids to stand up again.

I'm keen to see if Jackson can produce his first half last week for 4 quarters, it was AFL selection level, he needs to keep it going.

Sinn's progression is critical to our future and after showing zero last year, this year we've seen an exciting first half V Adelaide in the guts and a very hard, lightning quick rebounding effort last week which whet the appetite. So hopefully he continues that level and starts stringing back to back good games.

Burgoyne just needs to keep doing what he's doing, show a bit more proactive energy and be cleaner with the ball. Jones just needs to continue to dominate like he did last week, still unsure what our plans are with him, but need to see him really controlling the game at this level.

Then there the Visentini/Hayes/Lycett combo to watch. It looks like Hayes is gone, but we need Visentini to continue his development, or Lycett to hit some form so that we can end this Teakle disaster.

Mead is the other one to watch. Pushed to the outside last week, clearly with a replace Duursma mindset, he did some good work last week, couple goals, decent number of touches, but we want to see him find more of it.

Lord and Burgoyne are here. Don’t see Evans and Dumont.

 

[crows dude]

Can’t see Lycett

 

[afl2004]

Can’t see Lycett

Apparently still running up the race

 

[Coobk001]

Lord and Burgoyne are here. Don’t see Evans and Dumont.

I expect Evans to be sub. Dumont might be having the break. After all his injuries, I doubt they'd chuck him in yet, but as a break glass emergency he'd be ok.

 

[RossFC]

Lycett looks to be a late out.

Great for Hayes, show ya shit hayesy

 

[Coobk001]

Lycett looks to be a late out.

Must've done a number on it when he fell.

 

[RossFC]

Visentini with the ruck, Jackson, Short, Moore in the middle

 

[RossFC]

Jackson snaps, Hayes mark in the goal square and goals.

Up 7 to 0 4 mins in the first

 

[NoddyHolder]

Hayes did well to stub the durry out before taking the grab

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

Pasini butter fingers

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

Hahah a mark. Sure

 

[afl2004]

Jackson snaps, Hayes mark in the goal square and goals.

Up 7 to 0 4 mins in the first

Started well

 

[RossFC]

Kirk from 45, goals!

Up 14 to 2. 12 mins in the first

 

[OneGreatClub]

We have dumb players

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

Burgoyne has fallen off a cliff. Delistable performances at the moment

 

[RossFC]

Very strong breeze towards the outer wing.

 

[davesnothere]

We should look at Lock

 

[Interstater]

We have dumb players

I think we have a real lack of leadership out there.

 

[RossFC]

Weidemann hit in the head, no free, off with the blood rule.

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

Commentators actually criticising umpires.

 

[Coobk001]

Well this has been a poor quarter. Continuing on from the last half, last week.
