1st Preliminary Final - Adelaide v Geelong - Pre-game Thread

[Vooligan]

So McGovern is probably a 30/70 chance at best?

Let's hope this is just a plan to stuff up Geelong's preparations. Make them train all week for a gameplan without Gov, then bring him in at the eleventh hour for selection.

 

[JP Sauce]

You don't play injured players in finals. Gov sits out this week, back in for the GF.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

They wouldn't say it if he was going to play. They will not bring a player with a hamstring risk in to a Prelim.

So we give Geelong all the time in the world to prepare to play against us without Gov? Why is that a good idea?

Actually if they're a decent unit they will have done all the work already.

We keep them guessing as to who his replacement might be. Throw up all the names in the world.

Hey Guys,
Been offline since Friday (trying to help myself to not freak out). But whats the update on Gov. I heard the initial report that it was soreness after the scratchy.

Hammy's are a horrible muscle to tweak so I pretty much wrote him off as soon as I heard that, but would love nothing more then to be 100% wrong!

No damage to hammy, still in doubt

I hope danger watches us win from the toilet.

Cheers. I live in NSW so rarely get the update. I'm sure its talked about every hour in SA... I'm sure he's filthy about it!

 

[FR0GGY]

If we win, I will not have looked forward more to an interview, than with Danger after the game.

Scans came back all clear but burton came out and said he'd be doubtful to play

 

[Crowbots are dead]

Brett Burton shouldn't be saying Gov is unlikely to play this early in the week.

Unless it's a lie!

 

[Brentmeister]

I hope danger watches us win from the toilet.

He is full of s*** so he might be on the throne for a while.

 

[Rear Admiral]

For f*cks sake....Pyke has to get Charlie Cameron out of the Forward Line and rotate him through:

• Centre Square Rotations
• Half Back

 

[rezagun]

I hope he plays with gastro and shits himself on the field

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Does anyone know when McGovern hurt his hamstring?

 

[TexForPM]

Hahaha A huge turd stain would make my day

Teaguey said he did it during match sim on Sat.

I like the half-back idea. Has a similar dash and sidestep to Smithers.

News reports said "Saturday Training" - was that our scratch match perhaps though?

Hi Crows fans I'm trying to prepare notes on both weekends matches. I will say Giants and Tigers are creating less attention than that of Cats & Crows are making right now.

Do you think news on McGovern is to mislead the Cats similar to that of Cats saying Lonergan and Stewart are in quarantine?

Is Mitch McGovern more likely or less likely to play?

 

[GameofSloanes]

Got to make it first. We are a far better chance of doing that with him imo, unfortunately he is more likely than not to miss

 

[Danoz]

My son is the opposite. Never seen a loss.

My lad's been to 5 games I think. Cats '11 loss, Swans '12 win, Bombers '16 win, Swans '17 loss, Giants '17 win, Cats '17 ???

I like my OCD patterns and that tells me he sees a win on Friday.

I think its just easier to have stuff in the open this kind of year, by the time any of this information filters out to the public the opposition clubs would be well aware of whats going on. Information is that readily available on twitter, for example the McGov news was on twitter hours before the club said anything, but if the club doesnt adress it the fans get the shits. I don't know if its a real tactical weapon at all. More a fan engagement thing.

Adelaide play a pretty straight bat concerning this sort of stuff so I'd say that whatever the club is saying is pretty well spot on.
They said Sloane wasn't a starter for the Qualifying Final early in the week without playing ducks and drakes all week.

Thoughts on Stewart and Lonergan playing onFriday night?
