I think we will be more competitive than in the past but would love to see Reiwoldt rested and Hickey not playing.....
Be very interested to see whether we have bridged the gap against a team that has belted us several times.
I agree with the fast track being a concern -their speed has killed us over the last few years but one big difference this time is our defence. Its the best its been for a very long time and scoring against us has become a lot harder than usual. How nice is it to not leak goals like we used to.
Since ASOS came in we have conceded just 19 goals in 2 weeks. Just heard Koby Stevens has been outed for 1 week - don't really know much about him but got the ball a bit against GWS so might help a little too.

Carlton Line + 27.5 points at $1.92 seems like good value to me

Think we had a 21.5 point line against the pies that was too juicy to pass up. This one i'm not so sure of.
Saints demolished us in the pre-season.

And last year.
Jack is not what we need.
Get some pace in. Cunningham for one.
Can't afford skill errors either. Kerridge out.

Pre Season form accounts for zero IMO when we are at R8. Melbourne pumped us as well in the pre season and they needed till late in the last to get over us.
Still I so agree this week is a big test to see where we are at against a team we have struggled against in recent times.

Agree, Shawny. Bolts could barely contain his boredom / contempt in those JLT pressers. Another Roos in terms of how he treats pre season.

saints forward line might not give us the problem it normally does.

Yeah Kruddler - the lines given for the Blues so far this year have been great scored 4/7. Agreed this one is very risky.
GWS v Collingwood in view of Filth bouncing back + Lou Richards @ 29.5 pts looks enticing.
