Gee I like BB's media conferences... the very antithesis of MM, no snide, adversarial comments. Such a refreshing change to listen to grounded, realistic & measured optimism together with important information.
Harry not playing is no surprise, just a little too top heavy. He'll get his chance as the kid needs continuity of games, as mentioned by our coaching staff. 4 new faces to don the navy blue - Dow, Garlett, Mullett and Kennedy.
I'm not expecting/hoping for anything more tomorrow night than a fair-dinkum dip... and I reckon that's what we'll see. It'll take time now for all the newbies to meld, so probably a very up and down season... but I reckon the ups (glimpses into our future) will be exciting and moments of full-on quick, transitional footy.
Mrs Baggers and I have our memberships, and now being 'long distance' / country members will only be able to make it to a few games - very impressed with the package for those of us who live 150k plus from Melb.
