There has been plenty of debate recently as to whether we will go forwards or backwards this year.
Given that the team that will line up in Round 1 is close to the finishing side of last year, my hope is that they will carry on from last year and indeed improve on last year. Why not?
Goodes is just reaching his peak years in the game, Barry Hall is primed as he says and others including J.Bolton, Kennelly, Kirk, C.Bolton, Crouch etc as Wallace says, are in the perfect age and games played bracket to produce the goods.
My feeling is the area we need to improve on is FINISHING TEAMS OFF rather than letting them back into the game.
Last year Roos rested some prime movers each 3rd quarter to freshen them up for the last stanza. It worked but in some games I felt this let teams back in. So w hd to work hard to get over the line. eg. Carlton at Optus Oval.
I would love to see us really belt some sides when we have them down.
