Often coaches just want them to adapt to the physical pressure before round 1. We went hard for a half, looked good, then cruised, swapping things about. So, i'll see how round 1 goes. We are rapidly running out of tall forwards. Harry and Charlie out and McGovern seeming not that fit. Thinking Levi and De Koning will be holding up the tall end of our forward line. The latter has been very good in the lead up games. Maybe Eddie will resume his role as our "tall", go to forward! Haha.Agree on the shorter season, Wonder if the AFL will fill the gap with for cash strapped clubs who will miss gate/merch revenue etc?
As for next Thursday's game, well, will we have a game? Wouldn't surprise me if we got delayed a month and played a 17 game season, everyone playing each other once, due to the virus. Might help us get some players fit. Fair chance though they might play in front of empty stadiums, although the players simply don't want that.
