Preview Round 5, 2024: GWS v St.Kilda - Manuka Oval, Saturday 13 April, 1:45pm AEST *GARCIA DEBUT*

[Jade Buddha]

If Caminiti goes out Chito will need to be relief ruck. I’m ok with that because at least that puts him in the action.

 

[stfan]

We need our mojo back.

In that first quarter against the Tigers we just had players missing easy targets, and butchering the ball on goal.

It just became a vicious cycle where the pressure then just built and the errors multiplied. Having so many inexperienced players just made us more vulnerable to it.

Seconad half we were much better.

Against GWS we are going to need 4 quarters of quality football, or things could get really ugly.


Windy back to tag will help, but we need all 22/23 to get their clean skills and confidence back. And their workrate. You can only be competitive these days when the whole team works very hard, and very well.


Even if we lose, we need it not to be a blow out. % is always important.

 

[Dr Spaceman]

More than likely would have been lack of impact cited, then again, who knows what died in MC's head to make any of his calls since head of that department.

In Windy
Out. Hastie
Sub. Stocker
We need Hayes in, but won't happen.

 

[moirae42]

I have more chance of being sub than Stocker.

I'm fine with that.
Stocker out. Garcia in.

 

[stfan]

I'm fine with that.
Stocker out. Garcia in.

Stocker played well for us, and over 4 quarters too.

 

[BrutThough]

I'm fine with that.
Stocker out. Garcia in.

Our only small defender won't be dropped the week we play the best small forward in the comp.

I'd rather Windhager tagging Toby, quicker too & sincs is smallest defender anyway.

 

[BrutThough]

I'd rather Windhager tagging Cameron, quicker too & sincs is smallest defender anyway.

Sinclair would be wasted if he was tasked with following a small forward around all day. We'd be sacrificing all his weapons and gain very little. Stocker might not be flashy or do anything note-worthy but him doing that role allows Sinclair and Nas to run around freely.

You'd expect Windy to midfield. While he's been up and down in the 2 games he's played full minutes there this year, we need to keep him in that role so he can get some consistency in it.

Windy is a tagger foremost, & played well in the backline last season. With Dow coming in at some point? won't be a place in the mid for Windy anyway. And I reckon RTB will keep backing in Jones to hopefully get back to his explosive best, like the one passage of play he did against the Tiges.

will tear us a new one like Bolton did regardless of who we play on him.

It would have been nice if he copped a week's suspension like Baker did last week but we weren't going to be that lucky 2 weeks in a row.

 

[seasonedsainter]

We're gonna bring the Manuka Bazooka!

[Ads734]

Cordy on Hogan,

Wilkie Greene
Stocker Bedford
Sincs daniels
really think we miss Webster/paton this week.

Hill /wilson need to stand up defensively against their runners.

 

[Teflon]

Maybe your right even with Bolton tearing it up Richmond lost & Greene will be picked up by Stocker body on body good match up.

I wonder who'll they play on Higgins to try and stop him?

 

[bergholt]

Can't keep playing Jones. But we will.

Not many fit soldiers - who would you replace him with?

 

[gubby88]

Either ash or perryman. However GWS are quite tall down back
