Preview Expectations against GWS

[The Magnificent Seven]

B - Rounds - Goldsack - Clarke
HB - Young - Keeffe - Seedsman
C - Fasolo - Pendlebury - Sidebottom
HF - Sinclair - Cloke - Wellingham
F - Ugle - Dawes - Macaffer
RUCKS - Ceglar - Beams - Blair
INT - J.Thomas - D.Thomas - Toovey
Wood - Stubbs - Farmer

I reckon Witts instead of Ceglar. And where's Yagmoor? Otherwise I'm inclined to agree with the team selection.

Not sure if they can choose a larger squad and mix/match between the 3 games?

Word on the street is, hartley is playing

I like this "street" you talk about.

As I said in the elevated rookie thread, he is the most likely to be elevated at some time this year, basically because he is a key position defender, and if 2 of Brown, Reid and Taz were to go down, he would be next off the block (ahead of Keefe already IMO).

So I hope your street cred is good.

It wouldn't surprise, Luke Ball on AW said Tarrant isn't going either.

So N.Brown, Reid and Tarrant will be no shows this week.

Keeffe and Hartley look like being our key defenders.

I'll be happy as long as we win. I think it will be more our young players vs GWS young players so if we come out with a win, then it's good signs.

Still wellingham sidebottom thomas ball plus cloke and dawes down the spine, that alone will overpower the young GWS.

Swanny's playing isn't he?

He could beat GWS on his own.

No, it wont be official till the teams announced on saturday, but i can tell u his been told his playing

 

[rustyg70]

GWS will come out all guns blazing but will be like deers in the headlights.
We will marvel at the few things the new players produce,but will be put to the sword by our bigger and more experienced players.
Cloke to have a field day.
Comfortable win to the Pies.
56 points.

 

[Premier Pies]

1. no injuries
2. no injuries
3. no injuries
4. a strong showing from our 1st-4th year players
5. a great start to Buckley's coaching career

 

[lgarth80]

Would like a 30 point relaxed win against GWS and a 5 point loss to the Dogs so that we can get our preseason started, without any of the distractions of trying to win, but more the effort to get our team right.

Would love more of a 2010 feel than a 2011. Last year we just seemed to try and win everything and ran out of gas, whereas 2010 we started slowly, even lost a few matches in the big time against the Saints and Cats, before building slowly but surely so that in the finals, we were the team with momentum and a strong game strategy, and other teams were scrambling to keep up.

So yeah, no injuries, one win from two, and a good look at some of our younger players in senior roles is all I ask.

Sides should be out soon

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Even with our outs, I'd be disappointed if it wasn't a clinical shellacking.

Bulldogs on the other hand? They're taking a strong side in.

That really Young Side.

I am excited to see Witts,Ceglar and Paine.

 

[Ed D]

Even though it's young there is stil a core of our top players, especially around the clearances where the ball is won. No Cloke and pretty much none of the regular KPDs will be interesting. Then again GWS and WB don't really have intimidating forwards.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Holy shit that is an inexperienced side.

 

[Number 10]

That's so good. The only thing I like about the NAB is seeing the young kids play. So 3 players will miss out - who will it be? My guess is Smith, Williams and McNamara or Mooney.

Who will be 2nd ruck? Witts or Ceglar, or a bit of both?

 

[blaze036]

There short games, so i think it will be ceglar smith and mcnamara who miss out.

Boy would it be exciting to see what mooney can do.

I be very Disappointing if Ceglar does not Play

Ceglar & Witts might be swapped between game 1 and game 2?
