Game Day NAB R1 v Geelong @SS, Wed Feb 12 7.10pm

[RuFiO]

Like every time this year winning and losing means nothing. It's basically a level up from an intra club game and I didn't see anyone getting excited about the result of that match.
Just want to see some new players and maybe a few older guys in nice touch.

But if we win we're premiership favourites.
And if we lose it's only a preseason game.

How come the collingwood site has a different squad?

http://www.collingwoodfc.com.au/news/2014-02-10/eight-new-faces-to-tackle-cats

No mooney cloke fasolo in this squad

Missed it by that much

But if we win we're premiership favourites.
And if we lose it's only a preseason game.

I'm pumped either way because it's footy and it's been a long boring off season.

FWIW usually at least 1 of the NAB GF teams makes top 4 off history, so you can't dismiss it entirely and on the flip side I wouldn't go wrist slashing should we lose either.

Cloke is named.

Fas is still building no rush.
Mooney iirc someone posted he had an injury a few weeks back some strain or something??

i think they had to name a 29 man squad but only 26 will play. presumably the list on our site is the 26 that will play

Haven't been this pumped for a preseason game in some time. Most excited to see the youngsters (Broomhead, Freeman, Ramsay, etc), but in particular Jonathan Marsh. That was an excellent pick (#77) by Hine and the recruiters. Exactly what you want to see from a late-round pick where he could turn out to be something special. I don't agree when people say he could be a "bust" because that label should not be attached to such late picks where normally you don't expect to find too much. I would much prefer we use late picks on potential like that instead of going for just a boring "solid" player who is ok in the VFL and can fill-in if required. We have more than enough depth.

Good to see Mixture of Kids and Experienced players.

Intresting that all of Lynch,White,Hudson and Grundy in the same side. Guess they be subs and change during the game

Fair Enough, With a late Pick guess Bust is not the Right Word. Not Working Out is the better saying

 

[Lensen]

yeah, this:

Players who have played a senior game but aren't playing round 1 of the nab challenge I think

just a gauge I like to use for pre-season games to really look at the strength of the side - indicates their side is a lot stronger than ours

 

[TheFreshBanana]

Cheers

 

[blaze036]

Wouldn't be playing Lynch Clarke or Maxwell

 

[Tarkyn_24]

A game day thread made, a week before the actual match? What is this, the SFA?

#GeauxMagpies

 

[TradeDraft]

However, the Pies have already confirmed that Alex Fasolo, Ben Hudson and Caolan Mooney will not play.

We where Quick with that.

Though great to see New Faces Will Play

Are there any SFA Geelong supporters we can cross thread banter with?

 

[TheFreshBanana]

Thought it would be interesting to compare the games of each side for this upcoming game

There's a thread on our board. Banter away. For what it's worth we'll smash you cause it's at SS
