    What do we want to see on Saturday?

    We have had two heavy defeats in a row and been absolutely terrible.

    What do you want to see from our club on Saturday?

    I want to see passion playing for the jumper going in hard rattling our local rivals working hard throughout the whole ground defence, midfield, ruck and forward. I'm hoping to see a lot of inside 50s this time hitting up targets and not allowing it to get so congested like yesterday.

    The team give a 4 quarter effort.

    I want to see intensity, decent execution of basic skills, tackling, intensity, hard running (both ways), pride, passion, intensity....

    Did I mention "intensity"?

    Oh, and world peace, though I fear that one might be a bit of a stretch.

    I want to see the guys come out snarling, and then finish the game smiling & enjoying their footy.

    It's quite likely that North will get fired up and come out to bash us, and we'll just wilt again.

    Expecting a loss, so I'd just like to see us score at least a goal in each quarter, unlike last week.
    The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

    Hoping they play better as underdogs with a hunter not hunted approach
    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

    Improved scoring, 4 goals a quarter would be a nice change

    A win.

    Some strings of goals that feel easy, not painfully stitched together.

    The Bont to be best on ground.

    Actually, if the Bont is best on ground, we're a long way towards the other two. His struggles feel like they mirror the team's.

    A team stung by the criticism and question marks over whether 2016 was a fluke.

    The 4 points and to not get as easily torched out the back by better structured opposition teams - even Brisbane did this against us for a half.

    Better ball movement and higher scoring would be nice as well.

    Not so much on Saturday itself, but I the lead up I'd love for someone in three media to call The Bont out and have him respond.

    And him to react to the faux tough guy he will get from North players this year in the same way he did last year, torch them on the field and then laugh in their face.

    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.
