Review GCS v St Kilda Pre-Season game #1 -- 7:45pm Thursday - Kayo/Fox

[aussierulesrules]

Must have been the point of Wilkie's elbow.

Is he mad that we didn’t trade him to WB and then made him share the captaincy with Sincs?

Taking blokes out one at a time!

 

[Rogue Warrior]

The amount of Mattaes

It’s an exciting mix. Hall should certainly run through there, but 4 of 5 goals off the HFF is a pretty handy return

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Champion Data didnt cover it

So they couldn't give photocopies of an old footy record with the names scratched out and replaced by the current players, to some old diehard fans and get them to tick the boxes in exchange for free beer"?

 

[Armoooo]

This list could be anything.

The upside of Nas, Hall, Phillipou, Windy, Owens, Wilson, Tauru, Boxshall, Garcia etc. is pretty nuts.

There was a time when Billings, Acres and Gresh were our future.

Honestly, anything is possible over the next couple of years.

Rd 1 update
Really struggling with some of the bench spots too many mids to fit in. I think Box is gonna be to good to leave out. I think he edges out Hugo at this stage if only one of them gets picked. Last spot another small defender/small forward or Wood/Clark if they’r healthy. Looks like Windy/Flamders will wax at HB/Mid.

Tauru Wilkie Stocker
Sinclair silvagni Windhager
Wilson Naz Boxhall
Owens Sharman Hall
Ryan marshal Higgins
TDK Flanders Pou
Garcia McRae Hill Camaniti Clark

Injured

Wood Howard King LOC

Not picked

Trav Keeler Butler Carrol Banners



Not in contention

Lance

Fincher

Armstrong

I would take Byrnes over Clark at this stage. Suits our hard running game.

Clark is likely to knock himself out running through the banner. Too unreliable at this point.

Why did Gold Coast give their players so little game time? Petracca seemed to barely play

They'll field a stronger team for the community series.
We only fielded a strong team because we need the team & new recruits to gel quicker

 

[Anythings_sipposible]

Obviously just a preseason game, but I'm loving the danger our half and small forwards bring to our game. Hall, Philippou, Wilson, Ryan, and Higgins can all kick a bag, and are all really, really smart footballers who you can't just leave alone because they'll find a way to tear you apart.

Add Sharman and Owens as medium tall, Roma as a floater, resting Nas as the perfect wild card, and even Tauru and JSOS as hail Mary swingmen, and you've got a very interesting forward line with multiple different permutations for goal kicking.

I do think we are just one fit Max King away from having a team that can legitimately challenge.

Final score anyone?

Shame the VFL match won't be broadcast, is anyone here going to watch?

I will never get tired of that Limmy sketch in your avatar. Such a shame he moved from TV to Twitch, I could have watched a lot more of his shows. A wasted comedy talent

Still one of the best sketch shows ever. Check out Peter Serafinowics Show if you are looking for another one I loved.
Also read (or listen) to Limmy's autobiography if you get the chance, it's very good.

So we beat the nepo babies by 70 points in a scratch match and the AFL post 6 clips on their social media account, 4/6 of the Suns. You can sort of see why Ross and the club administrators have been calling out the level of effort being invested into the Northern clubs.

 

[Marlo]

I'm not sold on Owens

Pou getting 27 is really good signs.

Rather have a 70 point win at this point of the season than a 70 point loss.

I LOVED both those shows, Serafinowic maybe even more so! His Darth Vader, Alan Alda impersonations, the Brian Butterfield stuff... Lololololol Did you ever see the series he did with Robert Popper "Look Around You" - brilliant stuff.

I did consider getting Limmy's books back in the day, but didn't - I think you might have sealed the deal!

A couple of underrated British comedians. Who from the UK is good to watch nowadays?

I'm convinced now that they just do it for the drama, they want the soundbites, and I love that Rossdoesn't give them the satisfaction in that Purple interview
