Review Round 15 - GWS Giants vs St. Kilda, Sunday July 12th, 1.10pm, Spotless Stadium

[Big Stinky Monk]

I think Haynes will play. Given that Roo and Bruce are pretty mobile and probably cover more ground that most other KPF duos in the comp, I suspect Tomlinson might spend some time on one of them, taking the pressure of Haynes a bit.

Of the extended bench, I would think Lamb, Kelly and one of Kenners or Hampton to drop off.

 

[InSpectre]

Jeez the three players to drop away from the bench will be stiff to go.

Were I to guess I'd say Lobb (with tommo pinch hitting in the ruck instead), Steele and Lamb to drop out, but Lobb has been serviceable if unspectacular (his contested marking last week stood out to me), Steele has been great in his two games and Lamb just kicked 8 against an AFL reggies team.

What's the dealio with Tomlinson?

What's the dealio with Tomlinson?

Tommo's missed 3 months with a toe injury but was just confirmed as in for Sunday after a run in the twos.

 

[Scully2Folau]

So Tomlinson, Haynes and Cogs in. Very handy.

Kennedy, Marchbank and Stewart omitted.

Lamb and Kelly join Kennedy as emergencies.

All good ins

Tomlinson to get the vest?

Prefer Hampton, but for team balance and easing the big fella in, you're prob on the money

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

I see the vest going to either Cogs because he's coming back without a run in the Magoos and he has worn it on more than one occasion so is a little bit used to it - or Steele because Cogs is coming back and he's young and might need "managing" in his game time.

Dump the damn sub rule.

It'll be interesting to see lobb in the forward line this week... He looks like he can take a grab. At 206cms that's a fair asset (plus he runs a 15 beep).
Not sure but I think the tallest saints defender is about 194cm... Love to see him isolated.

If they can get 10kgs on his frame that would help even more.

Yeah look so would I to be honest but I'm not sure it's gonna happen. Easing Tomlinson in makes sense but his bigger frame might b of better value in such a small backline

We could challenge them for height in our forward line. Might be the same at the other end for them too. This could be a bit of a shoot out, unless it gets wet. Will cold, we can count on that much.

Think we'd better get ready for a real wet weather match. The heavens have just opened in a big way.

My dog floated away I think.

 

[inamedthegiants]

It wouldn't surprise me if the game is cancelled.

Hail out our way. :O

 

[coniglio_number1]

The wet weather will nullify our ruck disadvantage. Also we play better once the heavens open, remember our thunderstruck match against the swans anyone?

 

[Andre the Giant]

I do love when I see the poster's name in red writing, it's always a sign of a good day ahead

Inevitable but still enjoyable all the same.

 

[Mystic Mac]

Feeling confident today. Stuff the weather. If anything it nullifies out defensive and ruck problems

Giants by 10 points

Is it going to be raining in Sydney? The weather forecast is cloudy with no rain.

 

[dlanod]

There's definitely rain around and it looks like it could. Forecast could hold though.

 

[Determinant]

Hasn't rained since midnight at SO but forecast is for 60% chance of rain.
It's also supposed to be cold and windy, expect a small crowd.

 

[Land of the Giants]

Well boys, if you want to have any chance of playing finals, you must win this game. You have to win today. No excuses.

 

[Colonial]

We need this win. Nothing else to be said really.
We have to win
