Unofficial Preview Changes vs GWS

[WaynesWorld19]

He was as bigger part of being down by as much as we were as he was getting back into it.

GWS's midfield is much strongr & faster than MELB's ......all our games this year have been lost in the midfield

 

[hey shorty]

Exactly this. Well not quite exactly, the other important one is he was #3 for pressure acts as well.

So yes, whilst he fails the eye test...miserably so, it’s clear he’s doing enough other stuff to get him across the line.

Interesting his name came up in Hart’s presser, I suspect some stern words issued after the game

Pressure acts is a very weird stat. Again, to the eye you would have thought he puts up less pressure than anyone.

I reckon he's a week or 2 in current form from being in the SANFL.

Because if Sloane does get up Gibbs won’t play but surely Sloane is less than 50% chance

I have noticed some betting markets not including Sloane in disposals bets.

Its interesting because the last time they did this was for Mrouch when he was named for when we played the Lions.

That last dropped chest mark by Atkins helped set up the Dees ladt shot at goal.


I said after we won we held our nerve. Should have added apart from Atkins.

The beauty of their midfield is that it is just as strong when it bats deep.

Funny how Greenwood had 2 inside 50 tackles, 29 pressure acts to Murphy’s 0 inside 50 tackles and 15 pressure acts.

Did I forget to mention Murphy had 5 disposals? 5

Murphy answers the same question as Petrenko

We've been pretty conservative in regards to injury management this year.

If Sloane players he's gotta be 100%

Kelly, Coninglio, Tarranto (breakout season), hopper .....thank god Whitfield is injured

But all quick

How is Atkins holding his spot - personally I would prefer Gibbs, not too sure what he has done to become the unclean?

I think Gibbs only played last week because Crouch didn't get up. The intention was for Gibbs not to play.

It's fair enough when viewed in isolation. He has been piss poor defensively and we didn't spend two firsts for a tagger. Needs to defend in his own right while also playing an offensive role.

Trouble is he's not exactly alone in his sins but he's the only one in the naughty corner

Greene rotates through there a lot in fact he played a game only recently where his entire time was in the midfield, Carlton R9, 34 disposals.

Brouch probably defends least within our midfield mix, not sure what his stats are but it does appear that way.

Well IMO he cant be if he is having a fitness test today and didnt go hard at training on Wednesday.

He was interviewed last night on Fox Sports.

I don't reckon he's going to play, but a fitness test is there to make sure he's 100%.

Who comes in is more interesting.

 

[Schulzycrow]

GWS can just run the same gameplan as Melbourne did last week. Unlike Melbourne they have the players to finish off. Not going to be pretty this week. Expecting Atkins to go missing for long periods tomorrow night.

Won't play. Greenwood likely playing all along. Club probably trolling big footy.

Giants are good, but not infallible. They got belted by a very mediocre Hawthorn not that long ago and Melbourne kicked 7 straight 2 weeks ago.

The thing with their game style is it gives the oppo a chance, we just have to take them.

Can we win ?? Absolutely. Not sure we will though.

Really?

I dont think its a mystery, its always going to be Mackay.

Campo probably has an account on here and posts his image everytime we mention Mackay.

I think I’d back Gibbs or Mackay

Im more worried about the Mummy wrecking ball machine. Make no mistake he is going to go through one of our players for sure.

The temptation to get DMac and Dougie back together again may be too much...

We got atkins though.

Do you believe that or is that a not-so subtle jab at selection ?? Hybrid mid goes out, midfielder comes in.

Another behemoth ....

Not a jab, an uppercut to the selection committee.
