I also heard the Bulldogs are allegedly a good team too.
You are always going to look slow if you don't have the pill in your hands.
Of all the teams I've seen, Essendon looks like the want to win the NAB cup. Other than Lloyd, not a lot of rested stars, and they want to prove themselves for the new coach. Given the palyers we've rested, I won't be surprised if we lose the game, and I won't read a thing into it.
As an aside on speed though, one of the things I found really interesting v Richmond was how quick most of our kids are. Howard, Geary, Armitage, Jones, they can all run... it's pretty clear we've put a bit of priority on speed the last couple of years, and I don't think it's any co-incedence the pressure we've been able to put on the first coulpe of games has been intense.
It should be an interesting game.
