Unofficial Preview Changes/pre-match discussion vs GWS

[Merlin007]

Wrong change imo.

GWS mids are the fittest in the league, we needed more midfield run.

Ahern would have been the right choice.

Tarryn will go into the midfield to play Higgins role, and Garner will take TT's role up front. Ahern's problem (apart from the fact that he's not absolutely killing it in the 2s) is that his role is filled by Cunnington; you can only have one handball savvy stoppage player

Am I right in thinking both Wood and Garner are capable at running through the midfield as “beast mode” mids?

For some reason I recall thinking they could end up in the midfield one day ages ago?!?!

Maybe run Zurhaar through the middle.

Don’t think Ahern and Cunnington play the same role. Higgins is exactly the type of player Ahern is.

I think ahern might have been better but not sure 'more midfield run' is the best way to describe ahern, i think that is why he is playing 2s

He isn’t a burst player, but he can move through traffic and break up the congestion, that’s more what I was referring to.

Neither of them have played midfield since being at North.

Ahern isn't exactly an endurance beast. Cunnington, Anderson, Ziebell, Simpkin, LDU, Polec and Dumont is about as good a midfield group as we can put out. Get someone like Tarryn or Zurhaar to chop out a bit more. Let the wings go on ball and push Wood up. We're fielding a very versatile side, plenty of options.

Love Garner. However team balance with this selection seems a bit off.

Wood, Larkey, Thomas, Zurhaar, Garner does seem a bit over the top. A lot of pressure on LDU and Simpkin to step up. Though perhaps McDonald and Atley could spend time in the middle as Durdin is likely to get good game time. We really can't afford any injuries to the midfield group in the game.

We're going to kick & pressure, kick & pressure, kick & pressure, kick & pressure.

You don't need a truck loads of mids to do that.

The final game for Durdin.
Everything I don't want will be cleaned up this year.
Feel sooooooo good

 

[Quintero]

Save Ahern for the Pies, I honestly think we monster them forward of centre.

That is the most promising forward line we've seen for a generation.

Our field umpires this week are;
8 Brett Rosebury
13 Nicholas Brown
22 Nathan Williamson

Have to be the Toughest team we have put out in a while

It certainly looks as though we're going to bring the heat.

 

[Souup]

Honestly if GWS have a weakness it's that they're extremely soft and like an easy outside game with little physicality. I would have preferred Ahern in to Garner but Garner will add to our aggressiveness moreso than Ahern.

If we can put their midfield under pressure and they can't deliver cleanly to Cameron then we're a fair way to winning.

What’s the bet Garner goes straight to H.Shaw.

A nice big hi from Rhyce.

 

[Reagan Smash]

We can't match them skill wise, so we may as well try and bash them.

Very immature of me I know, but “I Cumming (head)” is the best In/Out I’ve ever god damn seen!

God, I thought I was the only that made that joke to myself. Small minds think alike...

 

[Horizons_00]

Garner comes in to bring the heat

I like it. Ahern hasn’t shown enough grunt
