I hope it's Matt Flynn come on down. He's played as a tall forward st NEAFL level a lot as I understand it? The only worry I have with Daniels is he's missed a lot of shots when I have seen him. He's not Robinson Crusoe there though.
They were a taller forward line (now without Kennedy and Darling) and would like to know if they are the tallest team playing?
I believe that’s how the Dogs played well in the lead up to their GF.
Rory Lobb might have a different view, but we'll see. I doubt a mid will replace him, but it's possible. Leon tends to picks the best 22 players and then assign positions I've noticed.
What’s wrong with Hopper?Hopper out injured too.
He's been having a great year.
Calf apparently according to teams list.
Le Cras is out injured as well - will be out for 3-4 weeks. Think we must have shot a chinaman or something! So the only permanent forward left in our forward line is Cripps so don't think you have too much to worry about?
Haven’t heard that expression in years.
Any loss makes it difficult but we’ve done well to get this far considering all the injuries.
I know bloody injuries man would love to se both teams at full strength plus Toby green, Jeremy Cameron, Zac Williams, Tom Scully in full flight are a treat to watch.
As far as injuries go it applies to players of all clubs as far as I'm concerned. It's a sport at the end of the day. Guys like Kennedy Darling and Le Cras are a pleasure to watch as well.
In my opinion the modern game as changed and the ruckman can be as good as you want but it's how the team sets up around the tap. You can win the tap but not necessarily to your team
My issue this game now has come down to almost 1 thing. With no lead up forwards left, I can almost Guarantee the boys are gonna bomb it long. West coast know that and Jeremy McGovern will be licking his lips. He is the best at knocking those off
Great write up Sime !!! You just now need to re-write your second halftoo early to be talking about September lol, we've gotta focus on a game at a time, every loss from here puts a nail into the coffin for 2018, we're hanging in there, but just at the moment, a very favorable weekend for us results wise, we need to use that to advantage and keep digging in. We lost Jezza but still managed to almost kick 100 points, which was fantastic, but some of the goals we conceded was extremely poor and we need to get that right this week.
its almost 2 identical teams playing this week, poor options up front with both defence's looking solid but again, our midfield is superior to WCE and we need to use that to our advantage. keep playing Dawson IMO, we know he's not gonna go with NicNat athletically but Lobb can fill in when he takes his breathers and Dawson is doing his job (he's not the best ruckmen, but does what we need him to do), we need to keep Lobb up front and help General out.
Really need General to fire this week, just needs his confidence, hopefully an early goal or two will get him comfortable, he can be dominant once he's good, but its just him getting into the zone for that to happen.
very winnable game, but going to be much tougher than the Hawks and there's going to be a very vocal crowd at Optus trying to light a fire up WCE.
Cmon Giants, we've had a great month of football, lets keep that momentum going and get a result that gives us more ammunation to make an assault towards the finals
I agree about Keefe but if I was betting with my money I would back him to be. I think he was a good cheap pickup for depth but in an ideal world he plays NEAFL
There was no reluctance to play Taranto last year, or Shipley and Taylor this year. I think Bonar is developing to a plan, we just dont know what it is. It may well be Perryman.
