Unofficial Preview Grand Final v Richmond - Saturday Sep 28

[dlanod]

Buying time for LotG, since I'm sure we'll be getting a bunch more traffic over the next week or so.

Finally!

Third time lucky - we dropped right off in the last, ran our legs out, but held on for a fantastic win by 9 4 points (oops, my bad - I forgot Heath's fingers bend back of their own accord. Probably should get that checked out).

Hill out for Greene seems a no brainer.
If Whitfield gets up (Sloane managed a game 13 days after his appendix removal, Lachie will have 10) either Tomlinson or Keeffe out depending on who we want as a backup ruck.

Do we bring in Coniglio? Underdone after such a long layoff, might turn out to be a liability.

We did it last finals with Williams, but I'm not sure Cogs will be back. I don't think he was training this week unless I missed it.

 

[Orange Agent]

Unconfirmed reports of mass numbers of Bulldogs supporters driving their cars to the top of the Westgate.

 

[Colonial]

Unbelievable.

We did it!

 

[Simbatheking21]

Wrapped for you guys and girls! Good luck in the grand final next week!!!

 

[BarryAglett]

Making our first Grand Final will give GWS and AFL another good profile boost in NSW.
We will get our first taste of having a bandwagon by having some extra casual support in Western Sydney.

 

[Hojuman]

Greene be the only in surely ?

Never take underdone players into s G.F. Giants.

if Whitfield and Cogs are ready they go in.

But I can't see Cogs being ready.

Hard to believe that midfield was missing Ward/Cogs/Greene/Whitfield/Deledio

Broke out some Bentspoke to celebrate - had to find a big NSW/ACT beer, nothing else would do.

The back ups stood tall.

 

[Hojuman]

Davis wanna be 100% as well.

In 1976 l sat next to the North race G.F. day. Brent Croswell ran out with a huge bandage on his hammy.

Game over

22 players. All fit.

Counterpoint - in 2003 Nigel Lappin playing with broken ribs, 100% game time, 50 point win.

The back ups stood tall.

as they have against the Dogs, Lions and now Pies with an injured Davis.

2 most solid defenses in the finals series are in the GF

Counterpoint - in 2003 Nigel Lappin playing with broken ribs, 100% game time, 50 point win.

Counterpoint II - in 2008 Hodgey played with broken ribs, was brilliant.

However, Shaun burgoyne's 2018 semi final against Melbourne where he played with broken ribs, and was down on output(and missed a goalsquare set shot)
shows the risks involved taking in injured player in.

 

[Cold Sober]

Feel for Deledio.
Davis is a must.
Hills may end up stiff but he's a ripper.
Mummy, Mummy, Mummy, how valuable is this man. I suggested Ess. chase him when he retired and got laughed at.
Cameron worth his weight in gold also.
Good luck.

 

[Lightning_Rod]

I just wanted to get in early and say congratulations guys on getting into the big dance. Mighty effort considering the travel, injuries and suspensions. I am not going to wish you luck obviously BUT I wanted to say enjoy the week, its all about you and the tigers.......its glorious, enjoy!

 

[Obeanie1]

Congratulations Giants fans in making your 1st GF.

Enjoy the ride and please beat the Tigers.

Some massive selection issues with Whitfield, Congs and even Delideo possibly available.

 

[Troystenvic]

What an awesome week you all are in for. It's a special feeling waking up GF day knowing your team is there.

I really hope you get the job done. I'd love to see mummy get another flag and run through Dusty at the first bounce.

Enjoy the week. IT'S AWESOME

Hill was great today but the mistakes due to nerves are understandable for a first year player.

He will come out for Toby. He will be there and enjoy the experience
