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

[BloodySwan]

Come on Stephens, this is your redemption arc. It'll be like when Richards finally made his mark

Have we ever tried Mills on Greene?

Don't think we have from memory but is Mills current fit enough for the job?

 

[SeanM]

I would probably select Stephens to replace McInerney. He is our next best winger and reasonably experienced. Also our inside mids seem a bit fatigued in recent weeks, so he could be more of a running inside mid if needed.

And if McInerney is out for at least 3 weeks. He knows he can get a run of games and possibly hold the position till the end of the season.

But I could also see them selecting Roberts as he is a natural inside mid. Given that Mills is a bit banged up and been playing wing/half forward. But maybe they could instead have Roberts as the sub.

I have no idea. He was fit enough to play 86% TOG on a wing against Fremantle on the space of Optus Stadium. I am guessing playing in defence would be somewhat easier for him.

Mills is playing sore and will probs be headed for an operation on that hand once its confirmed we won't make finals I reckon.

so, early october?

 

[bedford]

No he hasn't , he has shown he is remarkably inconsistent and more often than not failed to perform

Has he really ever been played in the guts and didn't he make a GF, YOU

 

[Donza]

What do we achieve by playing Hickey?

The swans game plan does not revolve around a dominant or even ok ruck at present.
Purely cause the cupboard is bare.
I say Buller to come in. McLean to ruck

he played in a grand final ? didn't notice him

Xavier Richards says hi.

And Gary Rohan

I’m usually on the optimistic side of things but those injuries have taken the wind out of the sails.

I’d go as far as to say that it’ll be our biggest win of the year if we pull it off. Can’t say that I see it happening.

Giants by 15.

He can.
Just not well

 

[RilesMacca]

For all the "GWS are flying" rhetoric.

I watched them vs the Bravedogs.
They were gone for all money.
That match could have gone either way.

You need to remove Sam Taylor's influence. Even the ruck and tie toby to a goal post.

wrap Toby to the pole? i like it

Maybe if he was playing as a spare but if it is one on one surely that would be quite demanding on the body of someone whose not completely okay (if he is sore). I feel think if things go really bad in defence he probably will play that spare again but Horse looks like he wants to keep Mills for all scenarios.

Interesting to see Melican a possible inclusion.

If we get dominated in hit outs and clearances against the GWS midfield its goodnight before its even begun. Hickey would at least provide a contest and give a little bit around the ground as well. He looked fit and healthy in the VFL so its the best you can go with. McLean as main ruck is not the answer against Briggs. He is good for a chop out role supporting Hickey. If not Hickey, we are a little bare, Ladhams doesn't look close to me, he is probably 3rd behind Hickey and McAndrew atm

I think Stephens will get the nod.

I am not sure you put anyone to Greene, I feel its not a one on one task. The team need to defend Greene. Might be case to focus more on our scoring ability than stopping Greene. I don't think they were super impressive last week, we looked better v the Dogs than they did. Who knows, they are due a loss. This week would be good timing!!

My favourite petrol station had potato cakes this morning.

It's a good sign

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.
