    What I want to see Saturday night

    Like most will be watching from my couch at home.

    What I want to see

    - more accurate goalkicking
    - The 1 percenters
    - Less turnovers
    - that Bulldog pressure
    - our mids getting good use from the clearances
    - strong team defence
    - us playing for the jumper
    - some of the Bulldog spirit back

    Hoping for the win hoping

    I would add:
    -Improved forward structure
    -Better ball movement inside 50 (hitting leads, bringing the ball to ground and having players front and square in pack situations).
    -Trengove in (a second ruckman)
    -Naughton being used strategically to swing between forward and back where needed.

    I just want to see players played in their best positions and we gave a proper crack.

    Win or lose i dont really care(i dont expect to win) as long as we have a go.
    The curse is dead.

    I'm looking forward to the game and I expect us to put in a vastly better performance.
    We have a lot of players who can lift and I think we could surprise a few with our effort

    It’s hard to get a read on a lot of teams so far this year and results have been all over the place. Hopefully this will be another footy tip killer and we head into a still vulnerable Richmond at 3-3.

    Perhaps I worded that badly, I meant if we are able to pull an upset against Fremantle we will be 3-3 when we play Richmond.

    I want us to beat Freo. I don't care how or by how much. I don't want a "we played well but"...I just want us to win.

    I have no patience left for this team. Win or fail. I couldn't care less about your effort or getting close or good signs

    Lots of goals!
    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

    Re: What I want to see Saturday night

    All I would like to see is us to bring the manic pressure that we displayed in 2016. That had nothing to do with ability, just an unflagging desire to get the job done.

    If we can do this, our skills are less relevant; lack of time brings the opposition back to a lower skill level, which our pressure can take advantage of.

    Re: What I want to see Saturday night

    Travelling West induces an instinctive dagger in the guts feeling so thought I'd browse the record to see why ...

    Under Bevo:

    54 point LOSS to WCE
    54 point LOSS to FRE
    16 point LOSS to FRE
    8 point LOSS to WCE
    47 point WIN over WCE (elimination final)
    20 point LOSS to FRE

    Going back further ...

    77 point LOSS to WCE
    65 point LOSS to WCE
    70 point LOSS to WCE
    38 point LOSS to FRE
    7 point LOSS to FRE
    123 point LOSS to WCE

    We REALLY don't like the trip. Like, really.
