JLT Series - 5 days away - flyboy77 - 02-18-2018
ok, enough of the AFLW and AFLX blubber, some real footy starts on the 24th with the Blues up on Wed week (28th) at 1910 at Ikon Park vs the Sainters.
We then play the Hawks March 10th in Tassie.
Thanks God after having to endure the tripe of both the W and X games.
Given St Kilda's dynamic style of play that has made us (and even th Tigers last year) look so, so ordinary will be interesting how our new batch of fast players counter the Saints fast ball movement.
Will they resort to a shootout?
Given these are pretty much the last hitouts of substance before the Tigers in rd 1 on (Thursday) March 22, you'd expect us to name a near full strength team on both dates?
Obvious ins - Murph, Crippa, SPS, Curnows (x2), Levi, Big Harry, Jones, Plow, Garlett (imo), Simmo, Wright, Weiters, Special K.
There's 14 - throw in Dow, Fisher, Marchbank, Pickett, Willo, Byrne, SOJ.
Last spot?
Daisy? ASOS? O'Brien? Kerridge? Lang (if fit?)

Don't they have unlimited benches with these games?? Last year at Optus, I think they brought about 6 totally fresh players on at half time. They'll rotate between 28 - 30 on the night.

YES !!
I've watched approx. 5 mins of our AFLW play and only watched our 1st game of AFLX and didnt bother watching anymore even though i recorded it all
in my best Rock voice.......... "FINALLY some real footy"
Re: JLT Series - 5 days away - Baggers - 02-19-2018
Well we must really have felt let down by the pre season comps to be seeing the JLT series as the 'real stuff'... ???
I thought the real stuff started in March when we took on the Tiggers ;D
Might also mean we've simply been teased enough... Anyway, I sure am looking forward to the JLT series to get a glimpse of how some of the newbies are settling in; how we address no doc; and how we kick more goals. Yummy.
Re: JLT Series - 5 days away - ElwoodBlues1 - 02-19-2018
Interest for me is around how the team sets up in terms of being able to attack more and the newbie players who might be in the round 1 team...will Bolton go with three big forwards ie Bolt, Charlie and Harry and buck the small forward/pressure trend...
This should all be on display in the JLT series...results are not important but method is and I want to see how hungry the newbies are for a game...eg OShea and Mullet should be competing to get Dochertys spot ...Dow and OBrien might also be in with a chance to both play round 1 so its exciting times..add Pickett/Garlett and we for the first time in years we actually have competition for places and Bolton has said its going to based on form so I expect all those blokes to be firing up....

Lol at all of this couldn't have said it better myself
Re: JLT Series - 5 days away - kruddler - 02-19-2018
Be careful what you wish for.
X and W games don't result in 10+ goal thumpings.
Re: JLT Series - 5 days away - Jack Burton - 02-19-2018
Well said Kruddler
Re: JLT Series - 5 days away - flyboy77 - 02-19-2018
well said?
Now, that's a bizarro comment!

Some will say the method was good others will say its bad. If we play well and blitz the preseasons games, some will say its good others will say its bad as we have shown our hand early. I reckon the PS games are just a WOFT from a supporters point of view, the only ones who now what we are doing and how well we have gone are the coaches. As a supporter, I will get interested on the 22/3/18 at 7.25pm.
