Lions could go in extra cocky and have been drinking their own bathwater with all the press picking them to be premiers in 2024.
Shame we didnt have all of our key pieces out there but good teams find a way to be competitive and I expect a contest from a Voss coached team and not a capitulation with injuries as excuses..

Innocent unless proven guilty.

It seems that Sam's lawyers are doing what they can to have the charge dismissed. 

She appeared in court via a video link and I believe that only one reporter made the link between the charge and Sam Kerr.  That put paid to the "keep shtum until it goes away" approach, but it nearly worked.

Her future as Matildas' captain would depend on whether she's found guilty and what was actually said.  Of course, a recent official investigation found that "The Metropolitan police is broken and rotten, suffering collapsing public trust and is guilty of institutional racism, misogyny and homophobia."  That's got to tilt the scales of justice Sam's way.

My comment that “justice delayed is justice denied” is amplified by the fact that the incident took place in January 2023.

And it seems that Sam Kerr didn’t inform her club or Football Australia about the incident.

According to a soccer journalist who was on the wireless this morning, the HUN is calling for Sam to be sacked as Matildas’ captain.  A predictable, sensationalist response from a grubby newspaper.

The start of the season will be a great test of our depth, as much as we would like wins what I think will be more important is how we go about games win or lose. To me that is going to be the tell.

The question being, "Did the players mean what they said midway through last season?"

Win or lose, will they have each others back, will they work for each other and sacrifice for each other?

btw., What does SolarPV run on, we'll as far as I know that's hydrogen fusion courtesy of the sun!

Yep.
It's not rocket science.
It's Goalkicking 101.
It's how we were taught to kick for goals 50 years ago.
So you would have to think in  the scheme of things that the suggestion has been made to Harry and he's tried it many times.

The problem isn't with the theory. It's with the execution.
It's the little man in his head.
Harry is a reasonably accurate and reliable kicker in general play.
There are two variables between field kicking. in general play. on the run and in the clear...and a set shot kick for goal.

The first is the difference between a straight approach and the around the corner one.
You don't often see an 'around the corner' kick in general play.
Immediately that's a decision that Harry has to make, when lining up for goal, which introduces a "something to think about"
He'd probably be better sticking with just one.
Eliminate the choice.
One less thing to occupy his thought process.

Secondly,in general play, a lot of Harry's accurate kicks are often on the run in the clear.
No "man on the mark".
Another thing to think about.
In training, I wonder whether Harry is practicing these numerous shots on goal with a man on the mark.

Can Elijah Hollands play in the pre-season games? Is it only AFL games he cannot play?
