Game Day Round 2: The Premiers vs Sydney

[ossie_21]

Mentioned in the other thread that this is possibly the tallest side we've ever put on a field.

Players 190cm or over

Macrae
Crameri
Bont
Stringer
Cordy
Adams
Roberts
Cloke
T.Boyd
Campbell

Personally I'm not a fan.

4 of those don't play like they are that height. There was a time in footy where if you were that height, you were a ruckman or just too slow or couldn't play. Athletics in general have just improved that much that these 190cm+ mids are just becoming the norm, it's actually harder for shorter players if anything

Looking forward to seeing some of the folks I sit around for the first time since Round 21 last year. Fair to say a lot has happened since then.

 

[Yojimbo]

I am looking forward to seeing Nic Newman, Robbie Fox and
Will Hayward debut for Sydney pity it's against us, but at
least they won't have to have a gatorade shower or sing
the song tonight. Sam Reid to start back, should win, but
their Etihad record is quite good.

All of the talk of us being really tall, out of the grand final are hamling Roughead and Morris replaced by Adams Cloke and Campbell it's not that much taller and then we have Murphy and suckling in ahead of Dunkley and smith which arguably adds more run to our team don't understand the concerns to be honest

So much this. Part I'm looking forward to the most. That and how Adams goes.

If Sam Reid starts back I'll eat my own face, then drive down to Melbourne and slap Horse. He's very threatening forward and very average back.

Likely Aliir is a late inclusion.

 

[Super Hans]

Lot of talk Hannebery is gonna be a late out there's no excuses.

 

[ScragCity]

I just want to see Suckling do a few torps and I'll be stoked.

 

[Substance]

40k tonight? Will south turn up?

 

[ScragCity]

Serious question: how much would we have to win by tonight to become flag favourites according to the bookies?

 

[Substance]

150 should do it. Does beating a half strength sydney side whilst missing ~5 of our best really tell us much about flag favs though?

Nope, which is why I was wondering what it would take

 

[Substance]

Well realistically if Gws get rolled by gold coast and we win by 6-7 goals tonight that might do it.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Think about it, only a select few can say they have seen the flag been flown at Ethiad, get down there!

 

[NBates]

Probably belongs in media thread but gawd dermott brereton can't get over the fact that we're premiers! Reakons we only just beat swans on the end and that they are dirty on free kick interpretations and tally

Any late changes?

Happy last day of term to any fellow teachers. I've been blasting music and dancing round the house in my reg grundies since 4pm.

Pumped for tonight. Go Dogs!

Nothing will ever ever beat last year and tonight is a lovely reminder of a special year.

 

[darklake]

I can't even see the match. No signal on all 3
Tv's...since TPG did our internet upgrade.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

The surface is horrendous.

The surface is horrendous.

That's odd, heard a few remark how good it was last weekend.

 

[BoydOHboyd]

Shot some hoops with Bob this arvo, was terrified everytime he landed - he is looking goooood though

 

[doggies ftw]

The surface is horrendous.

Pics? We get any injuries because of this and I'll be flipping fuming

 

[BallaratBulldog]

People saying all reserve seats are gone.

People saying all reserve seats are gone.

When I upgraded last year, lady said very hard to get reserve seats. Not many were left

 

[Bemoreboyddog]

Aliir in for Foote. We're unchanged.

The surface is horrendous.

It's not too bad. The spot where the stage was looks a bit ordinary, the rest looks good.
