Preview JLT 1: GWS v Collingwood

[peter moore]

What’s the point in trading out a second round pick for Sam Murray, and then name him as emergency?

Unless he’s extremly sore from AFLX.

Agree!
And as Wiskeytown said, what’s the point of playing known quanities!

 

[ClaytonM]

Guess that shows the Club does not care about the Result Then

I would bloody hope so. If the club is really worrying about the result then they have their priorities wrong.

 

[jmac70]

I’ve missed the weekly selection melt.

Footy’s back!

 

[peter moore]

My guess is that our best team with play JLT 2 and we won't see Blair, Oxley, Mayne and maybe some others. We will instead hopefully see Treloar again, and one or two of the other injured boys. This team looks to me like a "expose some fringe and youngsters and see what they can do" team.

God I hope you are right!

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Oh my god. Just because they don't get selected for one JLT match doesn't mean they aren't in the best 22. He'll play Round 1.

I hope you’re right, but if he doesn’t play JLT 2, he won’t be playing round 1 .

 

[loki04]

We get em in round 2

Lets keep our powder dry
The big ones next

Guys not named will be first picked round 1

Not the point I was making.

Giving the best 22 the best preparation possible and allow them to get rust out under game conditions requires more then 1 week. Which means said players who only get 1 game in will still be rusty as * come the first few weeks.

New team mates will be still feeling their way through and the team in general need to gel as a unit under game conditions (not training conditions).

Add this to the benny hill show of last season ie mainly due to a lack of confidence the group has, I would think it best to get some positive early wins (even JLT ones) and hit the ground running, not fumbling our way through rounds 1-3.

 

[TradeDraft]

Yes it is clearly season ending.

Don't you Mean 1-2 Weeks

 

[Mongo Ming]

You dudes complaining about the lineup named. At least you didn’t pay $180 (one way) to go up and watch this like Mongo.

Still .. if Maynard plays forward pocket as named it’ll be worth it.

In all seriousness keen to see Aisho continue the PS form and hopefully get some McFarty and Daics action and I’m happy.

They better have hot dogs.

So GWS have not picked Lobbe, Deledio, Haynes, Greene, and Scully. Are they not best 22 or is GWS also running the Benny Hill show?

Not all best 22 players play both preseason games at any club. Get a grip.

As I said context in those practice matches is key, Bombers were at one point 27 points up in the 3rd term and the guy who destroys us in Daniher did not play. It was not surprising to see them kick on vs us in regular season.

We should of beat the Tiges in our first match season proper and head to head weren't too far off vs them. So again close form line, tiges won a lot of close games we lost a lot of close games.
Had we won a few early close ones I'd say our end finish result would of been vastly different and so too for Tigers had they dropped a few of the close ones (like they did in years previous).

Our early close losses eroded the belief and put the blow torch on the group which then started the Benny hill show.

1 JLT game is not enough to get rid of the kinks or rust or gel, it means come round 1 we will be behind the 8 ball compared to the teams who feild stronger 22's across both games.

Anyway it may not be world ending but imo its also not ideal preparation and rather annoying given where the club is at.

Eh, preseason can be indicative sure, but do you remember Carlton winning the Comp in 2013 or 2014? Or the fact that Hawthorn tanked every Pre season game during 2012-2015? There are plenty of different approaches and not enough evidence to really start drawing conclusions based on the outcomes of them as they’re all over the shop.

You got the 'like' for referring to yourself in the first person

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

This has got 10 goal hiding written all over it.

Do we really care about the scoreboard in these matches? These games are just about giving players real match simulation against opposition to harden up bodies for round 1 and avoiding injuries.

But Murray may well play. According to the Pies website he is part of the extended bench:

Int (from): Jarryd Blair, Ben Crocker, Josh Daicos, Tyson Goldsack, Will Hoskin-Elliott, Sam McLarty, Sam Murray, Tom Phillips, Ben Reid, Matthew Scharenberg, Jaidyn Stephenson, Josh Thomas

 

[Mukesh]

No Murray, Kirby and Scharenberg? Yet Mayne, Blair and Oxley all named.

Shoot out at the Last Chance Saloon ???

 

[Mukesh]

What do you mean?
Its pre season, this is Maynes chance to show us something, cant just permanently not play him, at least let him try

Well said...

 

[Mukesh]

How about just back him? He's still a Collingwood player, imagine if he finds some form and gets going?

Again... well said..

No. But I do remember Brisbane winning it in the same period. Some funny s**t happened back then, too:

Point is well taken, though...

 

[MagpieJoel]

I'm interested to see Lachie Keeffe

Why?

[whiskeytown]

After he's apparently promising performance in the intraclub.... I would've played Sier in the two JLT games considering the injuries we have.

Is a make or break year for the kid. And an early confidence boost in meaningless games that are only 50- 75% of usual intensity.... might propel him onwards.

Brisbane just illustrates my point even better

AFL.com.au has him as Emergency

[Darkyprotector]

Based on what?

12 games they watched last year

Performance at training

Attitude

Need

 

[BEEG]

Watch Keeffe play as a defender and light it up.

You get a like back for being the first to notice.

I just really wanted an excuse to post that GIF...
