This feels like a HUGE week for the club. Arguably the biggest, excluding the 2019 GF week.
Doesn’t get much better feeling plus with the derby build up!!

And how many of those will be in the forward line at any one time?
Meanwhile we're playing 5 tall defenders against Heeney, Hayward, Wicks, Papley, Clarke and possibly Gulden... or is he pure midfield these days?
Seems pretty unbalanced to me.

Gulden is playing pretty much all his minutes in the midfield.
Clarke will probably play on Whitters , he is essentially a forward tagger to shut down our movement off of hb.

Yeah that's right. But even though he plays that forward tagging role, he can still be dangerous as a small forward and kick goals when the ball comes to ground.
So that's 5 small/medium forwards to worry about.
I think the only way it works is if Perryman plays the lockdown defender role he's been doing a lot this season and Haynes plays in the wing/midfield rotation.
Even then we'll be a lot taller down there. I hope it works out.

Doesn't look like anymore tickets will be released, aside from what's already available, with Ticketmaster now displaying a low availability notice.
Yep. Just a few top level ones remaining. Unless they are still holding some in reserve.
The might release standing room tickets once they go.
Taylor to mcdonald
Buckley to amartey
HH to McLean/Hickey
Idun to Heeney
Whitfield to wicks
Ash to Hayward
Perryman to papley
Haynes on the wing
Heeney is like Toby in that they are both very good above their head and you are generally better off playing a taller defender who is good above their head which is why idun works well

More reasons to attend tomorrow, but I suspect the expected 20k attendance means most are convinced already!

Will there be parking on the day? I am not sure if will be going ( will definitely go to essendon game) until around 5pm tomorrow . I always park in P1. I don't want to prepay in case i don't go, nor do I want to get there and not be able to get a park.

I think in the early years they may have done a breakdown but if 6k are from Canberra, maybe 20k of the remaining 26k could be from NSW?

I can’t see there being 6k members outside of NSW/ACT.

Good point. Also not sure if the Giants Netball members are included, like the AFLW, in the combined 32k membership figure

I always park in P6, never seen it full
I'm pretty sure you can't pre book parking on the day. Not sure if you can pay for it when you get there if the car park isn't full.
