An impressive two rounds have seen the Blues roll 2019's semi-finalist Glenorchy and premier North Launceston while kicking 15.25 and more accurate finishing tops Mitch Thorp's agenda as his side travels to 0-1 Kingborough.
"North Hobart ran over the top of them late, but their good last week was very good," Thorp said.
"We know they've got a really strong on-ball brigade, so like any week we need to be really strong around the contest.
"The first two rounds have been positive ...we've still got to be a little bit more efficient going inside 50 and then also in front of goal, we'd like to tidy that area of our game up."
The Blues have made just one change to last week's side, with Jack Donnellan omitted as Thorp returns from a week in the coaches' box. An ex-Tassie Mariner, Donnellan's absence highlights the depth Launceston has at its disposal this year.
"The D-league had a great win on the weekend as well and there's a number of guys in that side that are playing particularly well," Thorp said.
"Isaac Chugg, Hamish Leedham had a good game and Tim Bristow will return probably to the D-league this week so there's some depth there and pressure for spots."
The only 2011 flag players still on the list, Bristow and Joe Groenewegen are two of the highest-profile Blues not to have pulled on a guernsey this season.
Thorp said both would be back in action soon.
"Timmy nicked his calf in the latter part of the preparation phase and he's a really valuable commodity - we want to make sure we get him right for the middle part of the season and the back end of the year.
"He probably could have played this week just gone, but we want to be safe and make sure he's right to go and when he hits the track again that he stays out there.
"Joe's got a bit of a leg issue at the moment that we're working through but he won't be too far away."
The Blues' younger brigade is doing more than just hold down spots In the two veterans' absence.
Tim Auckland dominated in his first game back last weekend while fellow 20-year-old Tyson Miller is looking more and more at home at senior level.
"Tyson is a very coachable young man, he's found his way into the senior side because of that," Thorp said.
"He plays a really important role for us in our forward line and gives us some great balance."
