Expectations/Things you want to see vs Melbourne this Saturday 22 Feb 2025

[hilly]

Resemble a competitive AFL team.

 

[chubbspeterson]

I want Konstanty, Goad and Whitlock to play, and I want them to play well.

I want to see a responsive coaching unit that pulls tactical levers when the momentum isn’t going our way.

But mostly, I want no injuries.

I wouldn't expect too many tactical moves in preseason. The coaches wouldn't want to show all their cards.

I'm not really sure we should be making tactical decisions because we fear how much work opposition coaches will be putting in to us this year. Let's be honest - any oppo team is backing their own system in when they play us. We need to practice responding to coaching directives in match situations, and I hope to see evidence of that.

 

[DuckYeah]

A parking spot.

Someone should steal all the parking signs..

Ive never understood why that area has such shit parking restrictions.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

In the game every quarter.

Win 3+ quarters.

Powell, Phillips and LDU taking control of the midfield.

Sheezel 4 goals.

Xerri to ground down Gawn.

Some running bounces from Kerch, FOS and Bails.

Gawn will be taking it very easy. I’d be surprised if he played more than 50% game time

 

[ChopChopDigDig]

No injuries and an LDU signed contract afterwards pls

 

[Scottroo]

All I want to see is the start of our new successful era.

Casey Council’s history of corruption likely has much to do with that. Their own residents have had enough, as is clear from the pics of a council meeting down there this week.

Cookers

 

[roos_tt29]

Good hit out that shows signs and no injuries.

 

[Themanbun]

A kickout system.

 

[Shermanator]

Any system.

 

[Event Horizon]

No injuries is all I want to see. In fact, who has decided to play them of all clubs at this stage? I would have thought it is less than ideal playing against a side that we come up against in the first few weeks of the season.

 

[Mr north man]

With it being hot a Grog Tent would be handy a couple of beers will be handy

 

[Moti]

Other than no injuries, I want to see CHOM forward for a quarter and see how the 3 talls goes.
A forward setup of Larkey and only mid sized players with a focus on continuous movement as a forward line.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Teakle or Finnbar to grab hold of the second ruck/third tall forward role

 

[roos_tt29]

Teakle or Finnbar to grab hold of the second ruck/third tall forward role

Finnbar to kick 5.1 rather than 1.5

 

[Dinkers]

A win would be grand, and built around quality ball movement and I hope to see us in 2025 not kicking the ball to the opposition especially when not under pressure.

That has killed us, I'd prefer we kicked it deliberately out on the full, least gives us a chance to reset.

 

[scottyt2]

May, Petracca, Viney, Gawn, Langdon, Fritsch, Salem, Windsor not playing tomorrow

 

[Pres]

1. Arch vs Fritsch showdown #2
2. A sighting of the oracle Mick McGuane

 

[Passmore]
