Unofficial Preview Round 1 Vs Giants - Saturday March 16

[Caracas]

He's the best player in the comp imo. Just have to hope he has an off day when he gets it and kicks 2.6 instead of 5.3, very hard to contain him for a whole game.

Agree 100%. If Toby is on song and kicks straight, GWS will definitely win. On the other hand, if he has an off day (not unheard of), we will have every chance. He’s too clever a footballer to be shut down (in general…).

Call me a saddist but I’d love to see Curtis spend a half on him, Just to learn how to play that role. They are similar types of players(physical, cunning mid forwards). We’re not winning the flag this year so let Paul see how the best go about it.

Strength for sure, but would run him ragged. I'd give it to kurch if you wanted to go with a player to learn.

 

[The acurate one]

There is an internal push to have Ford play, hope so.

That looks more like an external push to me

They’ve got a pretty potent mix of medium forwards and smalls. Can see us going in with a mix of goater, biggy, Dawson and pink

I wouldn't mind seeing Curtis spending time outside of the forward line, he can be very dangerous if he gets his hands on the ball tends to disappear in games when the ball isn't falling to him.
I'd love to see him rotate into the midfield for brief moments to gather the footy and get his confidence up on not just being a goalscorer.

Would love to see the club play each of our top 2 draft picks from the last three drafts for this game. A gamble yeah, but I see it as one worth taking.

Phillips, Powell, Sheezel, Wardlaw, McKercher and Duursma. How exciting is that!!? Lazzaro obviously playing also. Throw in either Ford or Curtis as well and I’m a happy man.

I've paid bugger all attention to non-north stuff this offseason, can someone fill me in on just wtf the deal with Opening Round is?

Its the AFL execs "biggest dick competition" response to the NRL.

Need more money from Brisbane and Sydney markets, so lets rejig the fixture to make them feel special.

 

[Its a Process]

It's hard to describe how much of a stich up it is that we have to face a Preliminary Finalist after they have already had a competitive hit out against the reigning premiers in Round 0 and we have to travel to face them off two practice matches. The sides playing in Round 0 should be playing other sides from Round 0 at a minimum they should be travelling.

Hopefully the Pies belt the living bejesus out of them this week.

Goater actually has the perfect athletic attributes to go with Greene. Greene usually smokes smaller defenders because he is so strong in the air, then he smokes medium/taller defenders because of his lateral movement. Goater has his matched for both of those things. Would be a huge test, but one I’d be willing to risk.

He's our best option to play on him out of a frankly unappealing lot. Still expecting 6+ combined goals and assists from Toby, but yeah

Lol I might be okay with that. He does that to the elite small defenders. He's arguably the best player in it and tough matchup fir anyone

A couple of blokes are better than him imo but yeah it's not ****ing many. Hogan, Riccardi, Bedford and Daniels to deal with too. Nightmare forward line really. Our lads are gonna be baptised into their roles quick smart

That would be a great idea if people in Queensland and NSW knew what AFL was let alone planned a weekend around it.

You missed one.

But chances are Goater and Curtis do play.

Nah can’t be expected to plan a weekend around it, competition is too stiff, that’s why Swans are on tonight. Successful planning is evidenced by the three blokes in swans merch I’ve spotted as I descend into the bowels of central station.

42 years of investment = 3 supporters.

The tension around the football up there definitely sounds bearable.

 

[The Y Factor]

There is an internal push to have Ford play, hope so.

What constitutes an internal push? Luke telling Clarko he likes the look of Ford?

I think that’s almost expected at this point?
