and

Then come out Breathing Fire.

I can only Hope

The two things we really, really need to do, and lift hugely in, is determination and desire, just go for it. !!

Winning a few centre clearances would be a nice start

Brisbane will flog us I reckon.

But I'd even accept that if we started to produce more than 2-3 coherent forward 50 entries for the night. Watching us go forward is worse than a fukking Chinese water torture. Surely it isn't that hard to kick it to a position that gives your forward a decent chance to get the bloody pill. Other clubs can do it but we haven't since 2011.

I'm willing to give us 5 rounds before I judge where we are at.

The first five games are all winnable, I don't expect us to be 5-0 but I want to see where we are at and those 5 games will tell us more.

Not over reacting yet.

No flow in their game --its like when they get the pill they dont know what to do
with it --do we look for a team mate??----how do we get it to him ???
damn too late i,m being run down i,ll just kick in general direction of goal
and some one may get it
Surely we will turn it around as season unfolds --one can only hope

The Hawthorn reserves ran the length of the ground for some easy goals in NAB 1.
Carlton and Bulldogs ran the length of the ground for easy goals in NAB 2 and 3.
Compared to all our goals being a struggle. The NAB challenge has been a very poor lead in to the season.

how is it that cloke is getting triple teamed but they still manage to rebound with free players everywhere.

it pains me to say it but i think swanny might be done

just play the kids then we have an excuse when we get flogged

Please, please, please Collingwood bring some intensity, in fact a shitload of it.
I am begging you.....

Too much uncontested shit. We allow the opposition to control the ball then spread us easily by allowing too much easy ball. More pressure on the ball and force turnovers. Let's start with that then hopefully start working on our many other deficiencies like kick outs, moving the ball with some fluency and having some sort of vague plan in getting the ball inside 50 other than a hopeful long kick deep forward.

I also would like to know when we bomb long to 1 on 3 where are our spare 2?

Last season when sitting on level 4 at the G you would spot the extras either on the wing or high half forward. If they are high half forward it would still make sense to go short to them than bomb long.

Watching (and listening to commentary) when delivering the ball to goal it was Cloke
obsessed
So i watched the next delivery to Cloke with his usual double teamed smother whilst
Gault was closer & in line to the goals with one player on him
The comment "There they,ve done it again"
Usualy I dont pay attention to some of the dribble but in this instance they were dead right
