Game Day Preseason Game 1 vs Harley Reid & Mates

[Snuffaluphagus]

Squad should be released today I think or maybe tomorrow. Prematch and game day stuff in here

• What do you want to see
• Who do you want to see (aside from Harley Reid)

Us by 100 would be good. Enjoyed that last year.

Aside from that, just Harley for me. What a dreamboat.

Crap. I’ve just given the west their next headline…

 

[Lach72]

Quite interested to see how Ginbey and Reid gel together.

And from our point of view I want to see the two talls up front working together.

More than Amiss if Treacy takes the next step we’re really set up

No injuries to anyone wearing Purple.

No injuries to anyone wearing Purple.

Probably should have said this.

I'm looking forward to the part where Harley takes a Hotdog and can of coke and feeds the entire stadium with it.

In the football bit I'm looking forward to seeing Davis, Draper (assuming we're going to give everyone at least a run) and MCDonald in action. See if we have any decent defenders in the wings.

In the middle it would be nice to see some cohesion with Fyfe, Young and the incumbents Brayshaw and Serong plus cameos from Johnson and Erasmus.

It would be encouraging to see Sharp playing his role and in the classic wing role and someone on the other wing who at least contributes. I'm a bit worried NOD may have been a mirage.

Treacy and Amiss obviously, some signs Sturt is progressing and winning more ball but most of all I'm looking forward to seeing Cooper Simpson go at it.

 

[Spirit Level]

Want to see Sturt, Emmett and Sharp cement their places in the 22

Is there a world where Emmett and Sturt are both in the 22?

No Freddie or Switta?

No Freddie or Switta?

Bench for Freddie who could rotate through.

Not sure on Switta but he sure isn't a fwd.

Forward pressure hasn't been a strength for us lately, this would take that to another level.

 

[ubiquitous226]

I want to see how different versions of our midfield can look, and get that chemistry.

The forward line will also be interesting but our defence is looking a little vulnerable early in the season, so we'll really need the midfield firing.

 

[freo1997]

I don’t give two ****s it’s a practice game..let’s win by a truck load and shut up the west. Also give Reid a welcome to footy..if you know what I mean.

Should be winning by 60 plus.

 

[The Feeder Club]

If we can't move the ball with speed and purpose off half back against the defensive wasteland that is the filth, we're in for a long year. I'm not fussed if we don't see anything else, but if we've got no system to move it fast out of the backline against them....

 

[Spirit Level]

Forward pressure hasn't been a strength for us lately, this would take that to another level.

Kicking goals hasn't been a strength for us lately either

 

[Bigger]

I'd like to see greater connectivity between mids and forwards. I would like to see that particular cliche manifest in the form of a complete annihilation of the Weavils. Like, a rout. A dragging. A pullthrough with a Christmas tree. The beginning of the end. An embarrassment that stains like sickness. Metaphorical death. A pulling down of the shutters. A sewing up of the corpse-to-be. A thing that gets talked about for as long as people play our Great Game. "Do you remember when?" people will say. And people will respond with slow headshakes or nervous laughter. "Yair, geeze, ****ing hell."

Also I'd like to see Cooper Simpson dob a couple from outside fifty. Off a step.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

As JL said, I want to see them being decisive and I want to see them moving it through the middle as much as humanely possible. Would like to see the midfield comfortably win clearances as well, the rest is immaterial

 

[mattis117]

I'm most interested in Treacy. He could single-handedly reshape our team if he started clunking his marks regularly.

 

[GingerDocker]

In no particular order, my binoculars are on Young, Treacy and Johnson.

If at least two of those three reach their potential, I think Garlick might be onto something.

 

[Paracleet]

Whenever Harley's not on screen, all the other characters should be asking, "Where's Harely?"

 

[Big Animal]

I'm gonna take a shot every time Harley gets a mention

Emmett Amiss Walters

Can we stop being silly here?

There is zero chance that Frederick who's scored 30-ish goals from a HFF isn't in our best six forwards.

At this stage everyone there apart from Amiss and Walters scoring that much in a season is fantasy. Outside of Jackson their roles should mean they score more goals too.
