Preview Round 17, 2023 : Giants v Hawks, 4.35pm July 8th, Giants Stadium

[KermitJagger]

Im ok with this but we still need to give ned a rest and im not sure who does that in the side listed. Probably nash but i fear lewis!

Surely not, not with Lewis' having knee problems.

 

[Walshawk]

I predict that DGB plays back and Frost goes forward/ruck. Long the sub (can ruck) and Meek the carryover emergency.

 

[grumbleguts]

Please don't send Nashy to the ruck.

On the contrary, put him in the ruck ONCE. And now that they don't have a ruckman, get Reevesy to dominate.

I'm all for Nash smashing a few rib tickler tackles and giving away a free kick to get an outcome.

Will be a combination of DGB and Frost

 

[offtherails9]

Guess Sam has come to the same thoughts as most of us that the two ruck combination ain't working. (At present)

Thank goodness!

But but but we won the hitouts?

 

[Brishawk]

Will be a combination of DGB and Frost

Neither well suited. Should have dropped green and played kosi or ramsden.

Rama didn't play last week as he was the carryover emergency. They had umpires at training yesterday who officiated the match simulation, so the two boys had a crash course in what they can and can't do.

 

[Briar Gold]

I went to open training today but only saw the last 10 minutes so am nervous updating here - but why not?!

DGB was with the fwd group
I don't think I saw Josh Ward
Ned Long trained with the mids.

First time I've met the new kids. Could see the leadership potential in Mitch Lewis and Connor Mc. Lots of others seemed pretty shy tbh! Tyler was like Cyril 2.0 for sure.

Can also see the appeal in having Fergus in the team even if his form is borderline. Brings energy and some maturity.

 

[hawkinoz]

Looks like the smaller Ned is the Sub

You don't send a Rolls Royce to dig up paddocks. Better not be Lewis. He's not built for it. Apologies to Lewis

That's such a poor look for the AFL. It just sums up how much of a lottery this game has become when players need to be shown today's interpretations so far into the season and their careers. The bill should go to AFL House.

 

[Delecate Des]

Yeah, I've lost all confidence in your predictions Des

I don’t want Lewis anywhere near the ruck.

If it was up to me I’d keep him wrapped in bubble wrap and in a cryogenic freezer during the week and thaw him out for game days.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Neither well suited. Should have dropped green and played kosi or ramsden.

Kosi clearly the correct answer he

 

[hfc70]

How does Finn get a game? Staggering.

It’s like ‘fishtanking’ but without the fish.

 

[Newmo89]

Looks like Ned will be the carryover emergency as he was named for Box Hill, while Harry Morrison who was on the emergency list wasn't named for Box Hill

 

[peetoo]

Imagine if DGB moves forward with the same success we had moving Sicily back..

Didn’t even get a run at it at box hill though. Something funny

We have beaten the Giants a couple of times unexpectedly the last few years. Up there makes it harder but not many of this group have prob played at this ground.
