It's been nice winning the two preseason games but I'd almost be willing to sacrifice a third win to llet Pickett and SPS have a lot of time on the ball and see what happens.

Unless certain players are clearly BoG, they get targetted week in week out, some even when they are clearly BoG! You should know that by now!
Murphy had a quiet first half when the Dawks midfield dominated, but then so did Cripps!
Should we drop Cripps from Rnd 1 for being soft, soft and lazy? ;D

Yeah, only concern is that they are not so effective at stoppages, they need to find a way to compete with bigger bodies, they need to watch their captain!
But in the open, once they are out and moving, they have something special. SPS not fast but can waltz through traffic, while Pickett doesn't have to worry about traffic if he gets out and in the open! ;D
It'll be tougher for Pickett to find space in the real season, we just have to be patient, it'll come to him eventually.
Both need more game time.

I thought he stemmed the tide at the clearances regardless of how much of the ball he got, he just kept getting his big frame in the way of the Hawthorn runners, slowed things down a bit and made it harder for them.
He's got captain written all over him when Murph hangs up the boots.

True, but you have to measure this relative to the Dawks midfield rotations, the Dawks went quite a lot with their B-Graders early in the second half until late when they went back to the A-Graders. By then they had lost the momentum, but the Dawks started winning and spreading again quite late.

I think Docherty will be captain and Cripps VC...

Bo, because Crippa always puts in - and his body on the line - Murphy plays bruide free footy....

x2
But I won't be surprised if it passes both of them and ends up with Weitering, this kid is just getting started and fans do not appreciate his level of white line fever.

All the very best to big Kruez. He was sensational before his injury.
Given our slow start, and Kruez's early exit, I thought we stayed the course and turned it up at crucial times. Excellent signs of the cohesion building IMO.
Finally cracked the 100 and kicked well at goal. Wooohoooo ;D
Go Blues.
Winning is better than losing.
Considering what was happening to us last year in preseason when we scored 32 against Hawthorn in Tassy cracking 100 is definitely better.
Without a ruckman and Bolton pulling all kinds of odd changes (O'Shea / O'Brien / Samo all playing a quarter each, etc.).
The hawks had their best team in and really had a massive crack. Couldn't maintain their early energy levels (they look unfit and short on depth) or kick straight... sucks to be them.

That’s the thing with Crippa; it’s not just how much he gets the footy, it’s how much he stops the opposition getting the footy.
I know that there’s a lot of love for Doc but I really can’t see how young Patrick won’t be our next skipper.
