Round 1 - Blues v Tigers (21 March) Pre-Game

[flyboy77]

Would love a win but think its highly unlikely.  I will take a competitive loss with no injuries in this one.

The test comes when we play the likes of teams we should by now beat like GC, Bulldogs, Saints, Dockers and even how we stack up against the likes of North, Port, Hawks, Etc.

Competitive loses wont cut it this year against the bottom teams. We need to win at least 3/4 of those matches for me to believe we are where we should be considering our list and that this is year 4 of the rebuild.

No more excuses.

Highly unlikely? Perhaps, yet in Rd 1 2018 we were ahead at the 11 minute mark of the 4th quarter.

All that with a younger, less experienced team than we'll put out this week AND we lost both Kreuzer and Kennedy in the 2nd quarter.....that's unlikely to happen again.

And looking at the Tigers - no Caddy, Grigg, Castagna, Townsend and likely no Lynch. Also, from the 22 that played us last year, no C. Ellis or Conca.
