TOPIC:

After a massively disappointing result last week there would have been a few working really hard to show the coaching staff they are still up to it.
They need a big game, and I mean a number of goals game from Jye Amiss.He needs a big game where he is involved a heap of times.
Frederick needs to be doing more with his run.
Sadly going to be missing Switts,but looks like getting Bolton into the team.
The ruck concerns me as well, I am not a Reidy fan He is along way from being an AFL ruckman. But prefer they play him than risk using Jackson and Treacy as the rucks.Both too valuable. Jackson ,yes because he was recruited as a forward ruck. But not Treact. He was injured whenhe was rucking last season and they went down hill without him.
I expect big games again from O'Driscoll and Johnson.
And more from Serong and Brayshaw.
All the forwards need to apply pressure when they opposition are taking the ball from the forward line.
 A real test this week.
Freo by 17.
 

Neither team can afford to lose this one even though the season has only begun.

Dockers will cruise to victory over an undermanned Swans. Dockers by 44 points.

My Sunday. After missing the first ten minutes stuck twice on the train.Missed the first ten minute.Grrrr.
And when I'm dead.. and when I'm gone......

They have to learn to shut down quarters.One of the worst teams in the comp to bleed goals in red time.
Also have to learn to shut out games like the last tem minute of yesterdays game.
Only had to look how comfortable the Swans were with a minute and a half to go, and how they locked the ball in Fremantles forward line.They were happy to hold the ball up there.Stoppage after stoppage. Milk the clock.
Very disappointing.

I hope you are correct.
I will tip them as well.
Interesting to hear Hase say yesterday that Amiss will be under pressure from here in.
I agree, he has been very disappointing so far in all games, pre-season scratchies and the two proper games.
Some thing is wrong, was going to say, a miss, but thought better of it.Up forward. All the big fellas all want to mark the ball in packs.No system. 
Hase also gave Voss, or maybe the selectors a serve as well.
