What an extraordinary match between Geelong and Hawthorn at the MCG. More worthy of Week 1 in September than Round 1 in March.
That game was played at the standard we must aspire to if we want to play in September. I know there's a bit of history between Geelong and Hawthorn, but the intensity of that match was something to behold.
And what an extraordinary performance by Patrick Dangerfield in his first game for his new club. Three Brownlow votes for sure and the difference between the two teams.
Now he's coming for us!
Next Sunday will be Steve Johnson's first game against his old club, which is sure to add a bit of spice.
But if we're to have any chance, we must win the centre clearances and give our run-and-carry game a chance. Our tackling pressure must be consistently ferocious. Tackling pressure creates all sorts of chances, and the best thing is, it's something you can control. It's just a question of on-field leadership and there being no passengers.
Leon will have his work cut out for him with match-ups.
If we win, it will go down as one of the best wins in the club's history, just like the Hawthorn game last year.
Should be a full house. Wish I could be there.
I'd love to see us win but I think Geelong will have too much maturity. But that won't stop me hoping.
Thoughts?
