What's the bet Coniglio plays for GWS against us if the Giants beat Brisbane this weekend.
I would say it is a very big chance. They've said ever since he did the injury that he would be back by the mid-way stage of the finals series.

What's the bet Coniglio plays for GWS against us if the Giants beat Brisbane this weekend.
Unlike the Friday night game no time has been confirmed. Still a chance of a day match?
I much prefer night gamesFingers crossed it’s a day game. Hate the AFL’s push towards as many night games and finals as possible.
I used to be ambivalent but I think I’ve done an about face on it. Particularly as a product for showpiece events I think that day is the best slot for it. Don’t think the NRL gets close to building the anticipation the AFL do and I reckon part of it is you have to wait so damn long the day of the game. I love waking up and the first bounce being just six or seven hours away. Not to mention how amazing the G looks on days of good weather, bathed in natural light.I much prefer night games
Likelihood is a twilight game. That is the recent trend for Melbourne-based second prelims.I much prefer night games
Good one Gimp - try...In Appleby Crocker
Out De Goey Greenwood

The 18 vs 19 comparison looks good, but nothing beats a team playing as a united team with some momentum.For the Prelim Final, I'm expecting Aish, Varcoe and Reid to come in for Greenwood, Brown and DeGoey. If we happen to win and then take that side into the GF, it makes an interesting comparison with our 2018 GF team. The differences are below:
2018 versus 2019
Langdon = Roughead
Goldsack < Moore
Cox < Reid
DeGoey = Elliott
Sier = Wills
Greenwood > Noble
Overall, I reckon the 2019 version is better, especially in the key defensive posts. If DeGoey happens to get back for the GF team (at expense of Varcoe?) then that tips it clearly in favour of the 2019 version. Looking good, I reckon.
The slug was by design where the current no 1 and 2 defensive units went head to head.The 18 vs 19 comparison looks good, but nothing beats a team playing as a united team with some momentum.
Both gf teams last year took genuine momentum into the gf.
We need a good win in the prelim before we are anywhere near last year, regardless of who's picked.
Need to put a really good game together, rather than slug it out in a tackle-fest.

I like night games too, they have a better feel than a day game. However, given that the GF is a day game, maybe a day/twilight PF will help us prepare better for a GF, uf we make itNight games all the way.
They’ve been my preference for as long as I can remember. Atmosphere just feels so much better at night.

The whole debate with Brown, Varcoe and/or Wells is that it if could choose a player to have :
12 disposals
2 tackles
Most/all posters would probably choose Wells to be that player.
Anyone look At Richmond and their injury list?
Rance
And Jack Higgins
Stack under a test.
That’s it.
So only one bona fide star.
Just interesting.
They've been kissed on the dick again this season (except for a 4 week stretch early in the year) and it will be an epic failure if they don't win the GF.
We are sounding like Tiger supporters from last year. Some of my tiger mates purchased flights to Melbourne for the GF lol. Didn't someone once say, Preliminary Finals are the hardest games of the year or something like that? Lets worry about the Prelim
Maynard is the killer atm I would have him go to Martin.
Still got to win this week before talking about Richmond. Hope the side are focusing on the prelim rather than thinking of a GF at this stage.
Fingers crossed it’s a day game. Hate the AFL’s push towards as many night games and finals as possible.
I’ll be cancelling on my dinner plans with my mates then. BuggerIt's going to be a twilight fixture.
I wonder why though, it's only about a 45 min difference in flight time. Is that significant?And gives us an extra 6 hours to prepare for the Grand Final. Minimal, sure, but if we have a choice, I'd be asking for a 1:30pm Preliminary Final.
Seems bizarre they're waiting to announce the time.
Maybe it's an early game if Brisbane get through, or a late game is GWS get through.
It’s the Sydney curfew at the airport.I wonder why though, it's only about a 45 min difference in flight time. Is that significant?
I'm not sure that's so much about fitness. Thomas, Treloar, and Phillips are all prone to it and that's more about application. Sidey another but his reading of the play minimises the times he's actually caught in those scenarios. I'd put Wells in the same boat as Sidey. Whether he's fit enough to run out a full game is still a big question though.
