Game Day Round 8 vs GWS @ Spotless

[Roo Lives Again]

Off to the ground in about 20mins, and looking forward to the one game at Spotless where I wear my guernsey! I'm decked out with everything today. Crows tote bag, guernsey, scarf, mug, lanyard ... and sitting in my Giants Members area reserved seat. I plan to shout a lot, regardless of which way the game goes.

Having watched the Giants against Hawthorn, I reckon it will be tough game. I fear that if we let them get way early, we'll never claw the lead back. Giants by 23...

What about your members pin?

If I told you at the start of the year that M.Crouch, Grigg, Wright, VB, CEY, Lyons and Kerridge would play in the same team you would have said ________?

You're Ben cousins

Just heard Chad Cornes on the radio. Suddenly I want us to smash the living suitcase out of them.

 

[Schulzycrow]

Joiners Arms to watch the game today. Get along.

What did that **** say about us?

Wasn't Lyons the sub last week?

Didn't Walsh say the sub won't be the same player 2 weeks in a row?

contradiction number 1 by Walsh?

He did play 3/4 of the game after all due to our injuries and being 2 down with Smith and Jaensch there would have been less rotations...I think you can go easy on Phil for that reason.

Really alex?

Lyons was subbed on in the first quarter (as concussion sub) and stayed on once Smith was deemed not fit to return..... it's not like he played 1 quarter last week....

And if PW saying that he wouldn't play the same sub twice in a row is his biggest mistake, then i think we'll be ok

 

[Bicks]

Lyons sub again; weak.

I'm happy with that.

 

[treeman]

Just looked up his stats, has had 1 40+er in his career! Sorry I lost you $2

Yes isn't the type to have a 40+ possible 30+ but a good game for him is generally in the high 20's. More likely to have Thompson at 40+ but probably only paying $5..

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

So will VB play back do you think?

Hope so.

Kerridge as a hff can apply same defensive pressure but also apply score board pressure too... With occasional run in ball.

 

[treeman]

Commentators on 5aa saying no Hendo is a huge blow.

I don't mind it, Kerridge is a very good in, Hendo's form has hardly been strong...with the right moves it could be beneficiary.

contradiction number 1 by Walsh?

Walsh's comment was based on the sub playing 1 quarter not 3.

Feel for Lyons though.

surely your jest considering that Lyons almost played a full game last week

Yes, not much in it.

Danger, sauce, Tex or Talia out would be a huge blow!

 

[Glenno23]

I get that you can be upset about things in football and be unhappy with decisions. But if you're gonna get upset at shit like this, you're gonna have a bad time!

Came on early.

 

[whattagun07]

No Hendo mean Mackay for kickin duties?

 

[alex_is_on_fire]

It's the principal - don't make the comment if you don't want to stick to it.

Now he'w made Lyons the sub two weeks in a row, the justification to chamge his stance on particular issues will become easier and easier.

I don't think we need to hold Phil to the letter of the law like that. Let's back in our coach. Lyons isn't exactly setting the world on fire so if u start him then someone else has to be the sub. Who should that be? I like the idea of giving kerridge a full game.

 

[BACCS]

Hendo is a big loss with Jaensch and Smith already missing, who the hell will be kicking out from the back half?

 

[Roo Lives Again]

Yes, not much in it.

Danger, sauce, Tex or Talia out would be a huge blow!

Based on what I've seen of hendo the last twelve months I'm inclined to say it's a huge blow to GWS!! Lol

 

[robboaustralia]

Would you put Lynch back into defense .....quite a smart footballer??

How dare you! This is 10 goal tommy your talking about!

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Did walsh actually ever say that he wouldn't make a player sub two weeks in a row? (I never directly heard him say this) Or did people just assume that was his policy after dropping lyons and grigg after decent games as sub?

 

[Schulzycrow]

Vb or Danger off HB not 10 goal Tommy. With the kedge in wright should have been sub.

 

[Mattrox]

Has he actually said "I won't do it" or "I don't like playing the same player sub twice in a row"?

The other factor there is no SANFL to drop a player back to, to get a full game anyway.
