Game Day Rd23 - Giants @ Manuka

[Snuffaluphagus]

I wouldn’t mind a bit of a statement game from the team to head into finals with a bit more momentum but most likely a cruise 4 goal win. Like WC, they’ll struggle to score against us

 

[Van_Dyke]

**** I’m nervous

 

[Seppo]

Its going to be a lot closer that people expect. Solid defence and midfield contingent, but if Griff is late out I won’t expect many decent marks inside 50. Expect our goals will come on the quick counter with GWS laziness

 

[Seppo]

Squiggle is predicting a 1 point GWS win.

 

[Madas]

Hopefully the ground has thawed out by lunchtime
0 overnight
Damn that place is cold

 

[noise36]

The named team can get it done, forward line is a big problem, would build some nice momentum into finals if we can execute our game plan, post a good 100+ score and win.

 

[Demons09]

They struggled to kick ten goals against the Bulldogs defence.

 

[Purple Suit]

Squiggle is predicting a 1 point GWS win.

The squiggle is wrong

 

[Dockeroo]

Banana skin incoming if ever I saw one, logic points to a win for us but I can’t shake THAT familiar feeling about this game… hope I’m wrong

 

[Descent]

Squiggle is predicting a 1 point GWS win.

Squiggle is the outlier here and it's almost completely attributable to the absurd home ground advantage it's given to GWS. Squiggle accuracy has dropped off as the model has become more complex. At this point it's clearly overfitting the data it has been trained on.

 

[tonygeeks]

Workrate lads , anyone who kicks it inside 50 and gets intercepted owes a box

 

[greatgatsby]

Fair bit of sun, no rain, bit breezy but that will help to dry out the surface, which should be pretty good.

 

[ImperialPurple]

* I’m nervous

Me too

 

[Square Peg]

I reckon we'll win the inside 50 count by 20+. And win by four points in a thriller

 

[s_wd6]

I'm sure they'll struggle to score, but I also fail to see how we'll kick a winning score against them. Hogan and Himmelberg (if he plays fwd) are a much more threatening prospect than Meek and Fyfe.

 

[Madas]

I’m fishing for a “put me in the bin “ reaction but does anyone remember the final game last year against saints which we should have won ?

I’ll put myself in

 

[muckypup]

Nervous, excited. Business end of the season and I can smell spring in the air ... LETTTSSS GOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[StingBitten]

Win, Lose or Draw one thing I know for sure is the boys are there to play. We won't be caught napping this final round.

 

[Purple Suit]

Himmelberg has been playing back since the coach got sacked because he was completely out of form. If he goes forward, I’d be surprised if it suddenly clicks.

For all GWS’s talent, they are lacking small forwards so without Greene, our smalls are extremely damaging compared to theirs. We just need to not bomb in long again.

 

[Unique Name]

I can’t shake THAT familiar feeling about Freo

EFA

 

[Silversurfer]

4 points...0 injuries

 

[freo1997]

Just worried we don’t have the ammunition up FWD to kick a score.

Darcy and Fyfe need to be on. Let me also add I think bringing Fyfe straight back in is a little risky. Everyone that’s played knows leading hard out on a lead from a stationary position tests the hammys.

Still think we should win. Freo by 19.

 

[Taylor]

I just want to win and I don't care by how much.

By all reports he was good to go last week but they wanted to give him the extra week

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Freddy could run amuck today. Quietly (sort of) gone about becoming a very dangerous forward, plus, chasing him requires a lot of effort which GWS aren’t too keen on
