Supporters have no right to question the MC's selections after 6 months of preseason, most behind closed doors.

No drama having an opinion, but to criticise selections without any understanding of each player's fitness, body of work, let alone their charter within the team's fabric is a reflection of the type of supporter, not the coach.

I doubt Voss will be outcoached by Yze, AND, this is a warm up game for next week's game against the highly fancied Hawks, who we will beat for reasons I've outlined before. Why fear the Hawks when we haven't even seen the Blues play for 4 points this season?

Curnow and Fantasia will be back next week, and that will put pressure on the players tonight to keep their spot.

Bring it on. Bounce the ball. :fight: Its a brand new season.

True but you can criticise Voss and the MC for what happened in the Finals last year
Bondi that was a joke
I admire your optimism but personally I do wonder what the @#$%&! the MC is doing


Cheers keogh :thumbsup:

There's really nothing to wonder about the selections the MC have made for round 1.
I think the team selected was pretty close to everyone's 23. I didn't see yours. :roll:

Evans Young selection was the surprise for me. Its not the end of the world. Its the start of the season.

We look to be leaning towards a short forward line like we did in GWS game.
We looked alright when Harry went off the ground at quarter time. Kemp and at times Kemp-Young as marking targets.

So, if Harry's rucking, we've already rehearsed our plan for this scenario; a forwardline without Charlie & Harry.
With the exception of having Young forward to bring the ball down, we still have Kemp who can bring the ball down, and Harry will be main target most of the time.

This game is set for Williams Motlop Fogarty Cottrell and Evans to shine.
Expect 3 each Motlop & Williams. 10 goals from small running players.

Lets see if we can execute and see how hungry the boys are for season 2025.
To me the biggest difference this year has been the pressure our mids have exerted on their opponents, making our dfenders lives easier to handle.
Still a lot at stake in this game. A lot of things to be proved. Are we for real?

My biggest worry about this game is Nankervis "accidentally" injuring De Koning.


He wants 1 million a year plus for 7 years. He ought to be able to deal with Nankervis, Xerri and anyone else for that coin. Nowhere to hide anymore.


Aint that the truth.

Can you imagine for his $1.7M pay, his output would be the talk of the town every single week, and he would be judged in detail and harshly. No one would pity him. I wouldn't like it.

Reckon Adrian Whitehead and Andrew Phillips were the most unfulfilled talents . Could have been anything those two .
