They probably see him getting as many touches in the 2s as in the 1s, so why waste time in developing him in a sub standard competition on ordinary grounds with ageing hacks and underdeveloped talent playing against him.

Some players are just as good in the 1s as in the 2s. He will get better delivery and better cover from more competent team mates.

I suspect the coaches are merely playing the long game here.

Not sure if last nights game showed how good we are against Adelaide or how bad the dogs are but I have some confidence. Went to open training today - first time ever and took the 3 kids. Very light muck around as you would expect but the players did the rounds of autographs and photos and up for a bit of a chat. ASOS on the ground early doing some defensive work and light running.
Didn't see SPS at all but apart from that it appeared to be the 22 for tomorrow. My kids were nervous about seeing the players but they were great especially Kruze who has become my 6 year old's favourite. All going tomorrow and I think supporting the blues is now embedded in them. Of course there is a chance it has been the worst parenting move ever and I have just assigned them to a life of winter weekend disappointment but i think I may have timed it well and they are on the cusp of the upside.
Go Blues!

SPS was there and signed a few in the forward pocket.

Big test for us today. We have a history of losing to teams missing good players.

Yep.

This is a real danger game.

None of Hocking, Bairstow or Couch are likely to line up.

I think we need to settle the @#$%&! down. Their mids would be in our best 22.

Petracca (was a number 2 pick and probably should have been number 1)
Jordan Lewis (premiership champion)
Bernie Vince (one of the best taggers in the league and finds the ball himself)
Oliver (top 10 pick and a ball magnet)
Jake Melksham (a drug cheat who will cheat and do anything outside the rules to win)

It will be tough around the contest.

Enjoy the day mate, great to see more junior blues coming on board , as you said your timing is just right , the dark days are now a thing of the past and I am certain we are in for a very bright future, plenty of upside this year, don't think they will have to wait to long for a premiership , think we are in with a real chance today so hopefully they get to see a win , blues by 20 points

I hope we are more offensive this week, I thought we were very defensive last week and if we can get the balance right this week we should be good enough to get the 4 points.

I know what you mean.
Essendon* St Kilda and
Melbourne
Are always offensive.

Just the highlighted one. No one could be more offensive than that.
