Today, I hope we WIN, Play Well...or I hope we play badly?

[mjp]

Here we go - our one and only.

Do you hope we:

WIN Playing WELL - give the boys some confidence
WIN - Don't care how. But NO INJURIES.
Just play well - result I don't care about. And NO INJURIES.
I'm done with BEVO - I hope this is a disaster and it's over by Monday.

[GVGjr]

We need to add some momentum to all the work the players, coaches and the membership teams have done so far.
I can cop an injury so I want us to have a convincing win providing.

Glad to see the last one hasn’t got a vote, that’s hardly a “supporter” of the club if you ticked that one.
And if anyone was thinking that please read Bevos interview before voting.

[Bulldog Joe]

I am in the camp to boost confidence with a big result, but will settle for any win with at least some evidence of playing well.

Confidence is such a big thing.

In life the confident succeed much more than the competent.

Given how poorly we generally play in Tassie, I would love a convincing win that shows growth in some key areas like midfield accountability, adjusting when the opposition have kicked two goals in a row, and adapting to weather conditions.

Obviously I don't want any injuries either.

[Grantysghost]

Just play well, score doesnt matter. No injuries would be nice.

I just want to see improvements from the issues that have plagued us really since the 21 season.

No front of stoppage exits, not many out the back goals (we were better at this and some cant be helped), more attack from half back, decent wings who hold their position, midfielders running BOTH ways and some real cohesion amongst our kpd.

Is that too much? XD

Little improvements in some of this areas is what i'll be looking for.
Result doesn't matter so much as long as not a blow out.

Pretty sure we won our only practice match in Tasmania.
2005 against Saints with Rocket as the new coach.

[G-Mo77]

Not really fussed on result. Pre-season we can try a few things differently and unearth some players/strategies that will be helpful in the real stuff. A chance for these players on the fringe to establish a role going forward. I'll be really looking at guys like Gallagher, Cleary, Darcy, Sanders and even McNeil and Buku to play well and push for selection regularly in 2024.

Why are we playing Hawthorn again?

[MrMahatma]

No injuries. Wish we weren’t playing. Don’t see the point in practice matches, especially against a half strength bottom 4 team.

Can we forfeit?

[SonofScray]

Just get through it in good shape and get to the real stuff.

A sniff that we have some real firepower, or defensive dominance would be nice.

[Dazza]

100% win and play well. We 'should' be contending for top 4 this year.

[Go_Dogs]

Hopefully we win. Always more fun watching. Also no injuries.

[Curly5]

I always want us to win. Whether we?re clearly the better team or via a dodgy free kick, I don?t care

[bornadog]

I am happy to play well and practice our game plan, with fingers crossed no injuries.

[Mofra]

NO INJURIES 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

And I want to see our connection work between def / mids / forwards.
JOD & Dale walk back into the defence so if are scored against heavily it's bad, but not real bad.

I'd like to see CD play well too and keep his spot.
