Preview 2025 Round 12 - GWS Giants vs Richmond, 4:15pm Saturday 31 May, Engie Stadium

[GWS Goose]

Kelly is a huge in.
He is very underrated in clearances and obviously an elite ball mover.

Binga back next week would be a tremendous fillip for the port game

 

[Giant Pete]

It sounds like Kelly this week, probably binga the week after and stringer the week after that. Cogs…. Not sure.

Cogs has to get his arse into gear

Or his glute into action

 

[Joshawk23]

Feels like their rushing Chook back too quick, but if he truly is 90/100% fit then i trust the health team

 

[GWS Goose]

looks like Kelly and McMullen return with Wehr and Rowsten omitted.

I think Wehr holding his spot for 11 rounds and and doing his job has been a nice piece in this years season.

IMO Wehr probably doesnt have the high ceiling of some of our guys on the edge of the squad but has shown now that he wont let us down if required.

I thought Angove might be more vulnerable than Wehr, but I agree that Muff's potential and flexibility is higher than Wehr's.

me too in regards to Angove. I suspect he is next out when Binga comes in.

Wehr has done well to keep the likes of Rowsten, Leake and Stone at bay for 11 weeks and do an admirable job.

heard the reverse, they were super careful with him, making him get a big build into it over the last few weeks to make sure he is cherry ripe for the back end.

I think we should get at least 10k for this game, given that the crowd will be boosted by the multicultural promotions our club is running, including a citizenship ceremony on the ground for 200 people. The crowds for our 8 games against Richmond at Giants Stadium has ranged from a high of 14,456 to a low of 5,500 (albeit in 2020). Our average crowd for a Richmond game at GS is 10,155 - slightly less than the our average crowd of 10,530 for all home matches at GS.

 

[Orangeutan]

Sub is probably either Angove or Muff.

 

[GWS Goose]

Sub is probably either Angove or Muff.

Or Brown, but coming off 3 goals he will probably be in the 22

 

[dlanod]

low of 5,500 (albeit in 2020).

I was at that one. They had us all spaced out and members couldn't use their normal seats (we ended up in the top stand). Hardly reflective of anything to be honest

Me too. We sat on the opposite wing. It was memorable because it was weird and just after the sad passing of Shane Tuck

 

[Michaels]

Pardon the intrusion, I come in peace!

Each week I have a podcast where we have an opposition supporter come on to help preview the upcoming game for the week and last night I was joined by Ragnar of the Never Surrender Podcast.

It was great having Ragnar on to provide a more balanced discussion about the big game, link below to check it out.

All the best for this weekend!

-Both teams form line

• IN's and OUT's
• Key Matchups
• Where the game can be won or lost

A great opportunity for all players in the team to play well, make it harder for those players out injured to come back in. Daniels clearly would be automatic inclusion , others need to force their way in via vfl form.

Good point. Discarding that COVID influenced match, raises our average attendance for all Richmond matches at Giants Stadium to 10,819 - slightly more than the average crowd at GS. I am hoping for a crowd that’s more than the 13,486 that St Kilda had last weekend, to silence the hypocrisy of the Victorian criticism of our crowds. However on only 1 occasion (2018) have we got a crowd of more than 13k against Richmond at GS, so unfortunately unlikely to get that figure this weekend.

Also swans play after us at SCG vs Adelaide.
I really think Sydney needs dividing up a bit more fairly. I think only one or two of the 9 Sydney clubs are in our zone. Time to add Inner West magpies, St George to GWS zone.

Hey lads, bit of light listening for you all. Recorded last night we chat all things review, preview, Darcy Jones, Winter warriors. Would love if you gave it a listen
