Changes for the North Melbourne game

[Matimbo]

You've said really well what I was thinking but couldn't put into words - I think the stat is more indicative of our first two opponents as you say. I wouldn't hang my hat on any stats after 2 rounds anyway....

... and last week was played in wet weather for a fair bit of the game.

Changes for the North Melbourne game

Look let's face it, we are a world away from our best footy based on our first two games. With good reason considering our preparation. This week will be a real test, and I absolutely can't wait. The first two rounds felt a bit hollow for me, and I haven't been excited about footy this year until now. Tomorrow can't come soon enough, I'm pretty certain well see a large step up from our boys, and look forward to seeing a real tough game against the Roos. Would not be suprised if we come up short but I also wouldn't be overly dissapointed, as long as we show signs that we are up for another crack at it this year. I'm by no means writing our boys off already, I'm quietly confident we can get over the line. Some of our passengers over rounds 1 and 2 need to get into gear, let's hope they do. Carn the Bloods

Just saw the boys warming up with a soccer game in the park. Hope their skills with the Sherrin today are better than what was on display this morning.

Pretty much my sentiments also MB.
I won't be surprised if we drop this one, especially now with Rhyce out, but it won't be the end of the world if we do and I certainly won't be writing the season off just yet. I'll just be happy to see the likes of Jets and Goodsy show something cause those two stick out in my mind as being off to the slowest of starts.
