Preview GWS vs Sydney Swans Saturday 5th August @Giants Stadium 7:30pm - How to backpack your way to Inner Western Sydney

[Donza]

Need to have someone put some working into Brett Daniels as well.

He's had some great moments over the last 3 months.

 

[kickthething]

Less and less common nowadays. The onions.

Then they tack on a souvlaki.

Why?

Those onions should be enshrined in legislation somewhere.

 

[kickthething]

Our fwd 50 entries need to be spot on otherwise Sam Taylor will have a field day. Oddly a benefit of Buddy not playing is we should see a variety in fwd 50 targets rather than being buddy centric. It might actually help this week, as Taylor could be forced to second guess himself in which contests to impact. This is all on the proviso we just don't bomb it long to the same pack/spot & our forwards spread away from each other.

The forward structure can create space between themselves making Taylor commit to a decision early…you are right, a Buddy less forward has an upside, if it’s the only one, that we can engage a variety of targets which make a key defender in the opposition less of an obstacle ….. just need a bit of speed and precision with the entry.

to take Greene. It's the only reasonable option at very least for when he's inside 50. Feed Fox whatever he was given in the week ahead of the GF when he beat Cameron for 3.5 quarters in a thrashed team and hope for the best. Let Florent or Blakey follow Greene up the ground if he goes outside 50 but inside 50, gotta be Fox imo.

Cunningham can go to Daniels, seriously good player too. Lloyd goes to Toby Bedford

, Blakey takes Callum Brown, McCartin on Hogan if he comes back in, if not, then he goes to Riccardi. Francis goes to Keefe if Hogan doesn't play and if he does, he goes to Riccardi.

 

[the hypnotoad]

With all the recent talk of potato SCALLOPPPPPSSSS!!!! I knew temptation was going to strike me sooner or later.

And it hit yesterday, after a good workout at the gym.

I'd heard my local takeaway did a pretty good one so I said "I'll just buy two, that can't hurt surely."

Turned out the minimum order was four.

I told myself I'd just eat the two and show some real discipline.

When the order came, it contained five.

I ate them all.

This is how coronary artery disease starts.

But they were good.

hmmm ... maybe you only think they were good ... probably should go back and check

 

[kickthething]

Every side "cuts it fine" in modern football. IMO.

I just think the era of the dominant ruck is disappearing.

You need a Ruck that can do a multitude of things.

Thats why Briggs has been so good for GWS.
He's great in tackles. Kicking for goal. Score involements.

I'm not sure Hickey going up against him will curtail any of these attributes.

You mention everything except actual rucking, which I think is the primary thing a ruckman should be able to do. Hickey just needs to give us a fifty fifty at CBs, everything else is a bonus. We can’t be smashed in the hitouts like last week

clarke on greene? try to smother him ... get in his head a bit too

Hickey's strength was his mobility too. At stoppages and around the ground. Before he got dropped he looked very slow. He definitely looked more mobile in the 2's on the weekend with a few great pieces of follow-up and a big rundown tackle but will he be able to bring it against Briggs? I'm not convinced but it's probably still our best option to take Bud's spot by letting McLean go back to the forward line.

That'd be like when we tried to blanket Greene with Hewett in 2021. We got lucky that day Greene didn't kick straight (he kicked 1.7 iirc) but it was a bloodbath of a match-up that resulted in GWS beating us at the SCG. Clarke would get massacred imo. Need a genuine defender to take him.

 

[bedford]

They do at the home of the team we all support!
What doesn't exist here is potato cakes!

Scallops come out of the ocean

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

They will put Taylor on Logan who will blanket him so we need 2 goals a piece minimum from Papley Hayward Amartey and Heeney.

We might but Logan on him , he's done that before like against MELBOURNE on Lever

Yep, I wouldn't mind seeing Braeden playing further up field as he can do this effectively.

We might but Logan on him , he's done that before like against MELBOURNE on Lever

Imo Amartey would be a better matchup as he's a bit stronger aerially but plays low TOG so I can see Mcdonald & Mclean playing on him too. He's been an intercept gun for them, like Paddy for us last year.

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

No can't agree, no rivalry from my perspective. If we can't cause a stir in finals, I'd love the orange boys to do it.

I do still feel like giving the team to Canberra/ACT would have made more sense, but agree with the above sentiments.

Sydney are my main team and I closely follow the two Queensland teams. Outside of that, GWS and Freo would probably be the only teams that I don't dislike.

If they make the granny and we don't, I'll be barracking for them, but not before.

I will never barrack for them

Min order 4? Who are they, Doyles?

I’d tell them to jam it and find a new one.

 

[SuperMal]

Potato Cakes and a pickled Onion….that’s a Melbourne highlight.

And no ‘minimum order‘ either…Sydney w***ers….

How much do Doyles charge for a scallop , my fish and chip shop charge $2 50 each

NO! NO! NO!…..That would mean seeing Osho support a successful side…..it would be like….giving the known world an Enema!‍

Not sure, but I understand they don’t take Mastercard and Newspaper costs $5 a sheet.

lol… went to Doyle’s a few times ages ago. They do cook fish well. Iirc it was Doyle’s were I first had lobster or prawn bisque. I love making that soup.

Otherwise they charged like wounded bulls on inflated rep and it’s location

Ever since the rise of digital,it’s been difficult finding enough newspaper to do the job

6 for $10. Enormous burgers. Love my chippie.

Speaking of things that shouldn't exist...

Greater Western Sydney Giants - Wikipedia

In fish and chip menu standards, the plastics are the hamburger in batter. It's on the board, people see it exists, but everyone ignores it because they know it would be completely ****ing tasteless and no amount of chicken salt is making that shit taste any better.
