SB that's not exactly true. Both Warnock and Hampson have had a solid month in the VFL and their past 2 games have been very solid. White has only been back for 1 VFL game after 3 or 4 weeks off with a knee strain.
Supporters want to bring Grigg in because he has been playing well in the VFL. Warnock and Hampson are no different. Hampson in particular has been marking very well and he could really cause the Lions some problems with his athletic abilit up forward. He just has to go at every opportunity like he really means it. He needs to knock a few defenders over and show them he means business. I want Hammer to think this is the game, whereby from here on in he is never out of this team.
Our side is good enough to win. It is all about intensity and taking some risks early to run and carry the ball. Any player who stops and props early in the game needs to be dragged. I don't care if we come unstuck a few times, just as long as we are running flat out every time we get the footy. And at the 1st contest if I don't see a Carlton player crash at the ball in Kamikaze style with fire in his eyes I am going to be really peeved.
I don't want to see another sad effort like in previous weeks where the Carlton player sits back to maybe lay the tackle rather than go at the ball full tilt and make physical contact. We need to set the bench mark from the 1st off.
