Cerra's role is a bit of a fascination for me this year. I listened to an interview on the CFC site (Josh Fraser from memory?) and the comment was about Cerra playing behind Walsh, Jagga and co. So I'm unsure if his role is a mid/sweeper who drops behind the ball to provide defensive support/ball use or if he is playing half back. Playing the midfield defensive sweeper could be a good strategy allowing Jagga as a half forward to push up to stoppages.
The midfield mix will be really interesting. Cripps' CBA attendance percentage, Georges role, the Walsh/Jagga combo and how players like Lord, Ainsworth, Elijah, Ben Campo, Frank the tank etc fit into the midfield mix. Especially this week if Cripps sits out the match. He's a star but having him possibly rested allows the coaches an opportunity to experiment a bit and show additional creativity. They're not opportunities to be wasted. The coaches should be relishing the opportunity to mix it up and show a point of difference.

Just reading this gets me excited.

The midfield mix is fascinating.
Good to see Frank back at training with goggles on.
John Nichols medallist, George playing for B side is intriguing.

Will be fascinating to see whose fit to play tomorrow.
Who at TC is going?
Will you give us a bit of a report, in particular, fringe players.

I have cancelled my trip to Brizzy for reasons out of my control.
Spewin.

Interesting to see if Newman, Chesser Gov, Franky and Acres play.
The battle between Reidy and Pitto for No 1 ruck. HOK play's KPD/ ruck?
How HOK and Harry wax as KPF's, and if Moir and Kemp in forwardline at same time at 2 KPF's?
Cripps going forward, leaving Hewett to be the sole inside mid. What's the set up with Crippa forward?
Kids Lord, Lucas, Wilson and Byrne..[;ay? where?
Who plays in the backline? 3 Talls? Curious of the roles of both Hollands boys.

Yeah I remember seeing his name last season. A bit out of left field, hey. But a good thing he got married young, his maiden name was Verdaflore.

Thanks abns.

That’s good news for Newman and Evans returning to competitive fold with contact. Isons knee must be OK.

Brizzy game will be shown live on Kayo.

Bring it on.

Yes, they don't call me Boris Johnson for nothing.

For those into this sort of thing you get a nice sunset at this time. Thankfully the hills block the sun out early enough from blinding you for life.

We've had some great evenings at the aflw so really looking forward to this.

Not too worried about tonight. Just want to take a look at Jagga etc. ... game style etc.

As long as there are no serious injuries.

We have work experience kids playing…….just like the camera men.

Kids, don’t drink and drive a TV camera.
