I'd be more confident if Ivan was playing. Hampson may remind us tonight why he hasn't played senior for 12 months if he drops sitters, misses goals from 20m out and his ruck taps go to the Carlton mids
.
Tonight is another test for our collective attitude. Will we finally turn up to a home game ready to play from the first bounce at the intensity and pressure that we can play at our best? We didn't last week and we didn't in round 1 against Carlton.
Add to that, have we learnt from last week's game to put the overkill sideways, backwards handball away and that long, quick and direct footy deep into the forward line is the sensible way to play in wet conditions?
