Preview First Semi-Final – GWS Giants vs Brisbane Lions, Saturday September 14, 7.40pm AEST, Engie Stadium

Can remember X playing defensive forward role earlier in the year on Tom Stewart, might be the go here

I can definitely see him playing that role on Zorko this time around.

Makes me wonder who might be the sub in that case. Could be Cogs after all.

This part has just been really opened up as Sinclair has more or less sold out right up till the last two rows from what I saw.

 

[Osho]

Go you Giants!

I’m liking the idea of Ash to Zorko as a defensive forward and Cumming to halfback.

A good idea.
Less defensive turnovers from Ash as well.

So are trains ok tomorrow?
I am considering the $35 for a park in P1.
Does anybody know if I have to prebook P1, or how to tell how full it is tracking.
I would rather pay $28 than $35.
Is anybody else going from kingsgrove/ roselands area.

Depends where you're coming from. For us, it's an improvement

I live on the T1 Richmond line, we have 4 trains per hour to Lidcombe (and towards the city) tomorrow when we normally have 2 per hour, as the T5 line is not running.

Olympic Park line is apparently running fine.

You can check https://transportnsw.info/trip#/trip as any train reductions have been timetabled into the timetabling already.

Thanks alot. Will only need to spend25minutes on a train from kingsgrove to central, then express to olympic park in another 25 or so.

Shame they want to charge $109 (incl booking fee). Discourages a chance for newbies to come along and experience the game. I'm sure most will be discouraged for this price in these tough financial times.

Fair bet P1 is booked out.
Only a few left when I booked Monday

Sinclair stand has none for sale.

Maybe they’re releasing the car parks like the seats in the ground. Anyone keeping track?

 

[Giant YoYo]

Rug up tomorrow night, everyone.

Tomorrow will be warm during the day but around kickoff there will be a cold change moving through.

Temperature will plummet and it may be breezy. Temperature of around 10 degrees with a feels like temp of 4 degrees by final siren. Wind chill will likely make it feel much colder!

They are still releasing new seats in the Cumberland stand. Now at discounted prices.

Pricing seems all over that shop in that section.

From $101 to $35 all being sold at the same time, lol

Surely they don't want to stuff up the crowd.
So important the players are supported.

I bought a P1 pass today so they were still available.

Does anyone know if Bedford has been training with the forwards group or the mids? Lots of the media talk is that he'll tag Neale but surely there is no room for him in the midfield with Green, Kelly, Peatling, Callaghan and Cogs + Ward/Cumming on the wings? Surely Peatling goes to Neale and Bedford is forward?

Thought by some is that Cogs goes forward

A seat just became available in the Lions away bay.

can’t sell out an away bay

 

[sydney_gws]

I think only about 200 tickets left?

Who knows.
They open and shut sales for seats so often can’t keep up.

 

[sydney_gws]

Why Do they do that?
