LeBois, what a 1st kick, in your AFL debut!! Not much else to go on, but he did provide that 1 little bit of excitement.
No SPS yet, but Fisher, Polson and Macreadie all showed some green shoots, with the chances they were given.
Marchbank and Pickett are both showing that they will add something to our best 22.
Palmer and Smedts have not done a lot to excite, yet, but for me, I'm just happy see Smedts string 3 games togather. I think he has a lot of upside and potential, that can come to the fore, if he can get some continuity into his games played.
2 wins for the NB's in their 1st two praccy matches is also a promising sign IMO, Sheehan, playing well in these games is also pleasing.
I'm coming down to see us in round 1 against the Tiges, I don't really know what to expect, so all I am really hoping for will be 120 minutes of effort, and see where that gets us!
A bit of reason amongst all the naysayers....cheers Amers.
My bottom line - we'll do a lot better than our 2016 effort.
Need to beat the Tigers and watch the boys' confidence soar!
If Gibbs and Murphy can replicate Cripps' intensity Rd 1 and on, we'll scare a lot of teams....
Kerridge? Backwards at a rate of knots? Maybe needs time in the 2s?
Curnow (Ed?) - i thought his kicking came on heaps last year.....perhaps it's the pressure or perceived pressure the players are under....
Finals, then 4 in a row!
