Preview Round 1, 2021: GWS v St.Kilda - GIANTS Stadium, Sunday 21st March, 3:20PM AEDT *HIGHMORE DEBUT*

[Stewart66]

Just pulling your leg.
Sounds great though, but still hope they don’t rush him back at the risk of stuffing it up further.

It’s fine ...you’re correct the guy is a smiling assassin ..

Don‘t think that’s on the agenda , that’s what impressed me a lot when talking to Ryder he said
Stkildas medical team is the best he has had in his career....he wasn’t condescending at all really
genuine about it.

 

[Mowman]

Jones trained fully today according to Stew66

Hope we are conservative with him

Big difference between training and the real thing, just ask Frawley

Was playing rover in brief match simulation today ..would very suprised if he doesn’t play next week

 

[Premium]

If Hunter gets a injury , Sam Alabakis might get a run

 

[prophetic1]

Words like Auto destruct sequence, Implosion and Self fulfilling prophecy all come to mind but in truth I get the feel that its more like teething problems....Its not as though the flying fickle finger of fate wasn't always going to rear either its 'ugly' or 'beautiful' head...we are just not sure of which manifestation we are going to experience. This could be the moment that those fringe dwellers become integral to our successful future endeavors. Then after having proved themselves we have an even greater understanding of our true depth....Or......

 

[Dr Spaceman]

I’m not expecting or demanding too much.

Will settle for a Carl Ditterich type debut #BOG

mid season draft

 

[Keg still on legs]

We just have to find a way to navigate ourselves to a 50/50 win loss ratio at the half way mark then hope we've had our run of injries and launch from there.

Billy Longer mid season draft

Then we can trade for that ruck at Sydney Hickey.

I reckon he's better than Longer.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Ryder is going to be very very hard to replace. we are a much better side with him in it. if i am bring frank he is a bigger loss than marshall.

Had been thinking this all summer - nearly number 1 at the club for what he does for the rest of the team.

 

[BrutThough]

Billy Longer mid season draft

Only if the AFL implement a mid-season trade period and we can reunite him with Hickey.

 

[Saintbloke]

What's the go with Sam Alabakis? If he is so far off the pace after a couple of years in our system, why is he still on the list?

 

[bird_man]

Hope we are conservative with him

I think we were conservative with him by not playing him until now by the sounds of it. It's been quite a while since the injury.

I thought it was just over 2 weeks ago ?

 

[gringo2011]

Going into round one with Hunter and McKernan feels like we've with ordered a ruck combination off wish.com

I rated Hunter in that game. I think he'll be okay for a couple of weeks and who knows maybe even more. Mc Kernan is a decent forward ruck.

 

[Plugger35]

Not ideal timing for Paddy to have a spell to say the least but thankfully Hunter looks like a capable replacement.

Big ask for a guy that hasn't played an AFL game to shoulder the no.1 ruck position though especially against someone like Gawn and god help us if he goes down with an injury as well, we'll probably be relying on McKernan to lead the ruck then.

 

[Verdun]

Sick of this sh*t....Carlisle missing finals, Ryder missing start of the season ...ffs if your not up to the job dont put your hat in the ring and dont take the payments.
Man up or Fck off

Nope

 

[Saint12]

Nope

Well said ....bound to get the likes your after

 

[gringo2011]

He’s me. Absolute flog.

I hear he's one of those pompous fops who wear tweed and sing in barbershop quartets. They are the worst.

 

[bird_man]

I thought it was just over 2 weeks ago ?

It was close to a month ago now. It was reported Feb 16 that he did it the week prior.

2021 not 1970

 

[stfan]

Crouch was always missing
Jones is a loss for us hopefully back round 3 or 4
Hannas imo not automatic selection anymore more a liability if he can't get out on the park this year pay him out for next year and free up a spot

Yes I know that Crouch was always missing (We all know he is out suspended). That is my point. We are down significantly in both our rucks and mids.

Ryder makes our mids more effictive. Without him it is so much harder to also cover for our midfield not being at its best as well.
