Will be good to get a look at our next 2 opponents today

Was just about to say the same.
Very keen to see how Norf go against flaky Freo and how the purples cover their positional injuries. At the same venue as well.

 

[David Sylvian]

North in for an absolute bath. Got the driver to behave itself off the tee, now looking to dial in the irons.
What impresses me is that we have basically worked on plan B for one pre season and got two wins, confidence should be sky high in the playing/coaching groups.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

I reckon we bounce back after a close shave against the tigers … not sure 10 odd goals or so but say 25 points is my prediction our big boys will get the job done

I’ll be watching their game today …

It would be nice to get out to a decent lead and keep them at arms length all day. Need a break from these close calls.

 

[Blue_Fusion]

North falling apart at the seams...

 

[Foucault1989]

I'm nervous going into this game. Just have a funny feeling. We rarely smash North, it's always a contest. A bogey team

I’m keen to see if there’s any improvement in our running out of quarters given the recent revelation we were still in a pre-season training block for the first two rounds.

 

[BIuebagger]

Play to our strengths with our contested game and try to break them open with some quick transition. They look a mess when the ball slings back after an attacking phase. Tackle the crap out of them too, seem to crumble with when the pressure is applied.

I would be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous. 15 day break and a few players returning who may be rusty. If we get that balance wrong it might be tougher than it has to be, but realistically we should have too much talent and experience across the ground.

Im not nervous at all they suck. If you’re nervous about them you will be nervous every week

I hope you are right..and yes, nervous most weeks

I haven’t been relaxed before a game since ….well never.

 

[Arr0w]

North playing a good brand of footy, should be a good contest

 

[carlton_99]

North playing a good brand of footy, should be a good contest

Their midfield is very good. Xerri gone to another level this year as well. They play a high risk style of play with the three attacking HBs which when it works can pay off big time

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Contain LDU and Sheezel and they'll roll over and die. Their defense is horrific in the contest so if we get good supply it should be the Twin Towers show.

 

[gbatman]

North look like they did last season, enough young talent to start games well, not enough talent and maturity to put together 4 quarters. Think they may challenge early but really, this should become a percentage booster. Only have to apply pressure to North and we will smash them on the turnover alone. They are sloppy, particularly late in games when fatigue sets in. We get this done by 30+.

Was comprehensively beat by Jackson after the first quarter imo...

I'd be expecting TDK to have his competitive battle with him early but then burn him off as the game wears on.

I was at the game and thought it was a really good battle. Xerri matched him in the ruck and had 19 disposals, 6 tackles, 7 clearances and 3 marks. Become a good player

Yeah he has certainly improved. I was talking more around the ground, Jackson was key into getting Freo to turn the game around.

 

[Accidental genius]

Anyone nervous about this game…

Don’t be.

Not at all... we'll win this one comfortably.

 

[Arr0w]

All bar Walsh might be having a run in one form or another next week

 

[Thrawn]

All bar Walsh might be having a run in one form or another next week

Not even sure about that. I think Walsh may be a surprise selection.

 

[Arr0w]

Heard he thinks he is fine to play, club still want to be cautious

Good to see back either way

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Hoping we see E.Hollands come in next week and put on a clinic to get his season off on the right note. Dishing assists to H and Charlie all night should be a good confidence booster if the mids get it to him

It’ll be great to watch his work for a whole game - I’ve seen training snippets of Elijah - still can’t picture what kind of player he is.

What previous player would you say he’s most like?
