Unofficial Preview Changes and pre match discussions vs ..sigh... Geelong at the f**king bowling alley

[GDUB07]

I saw a post somewhere that suggested that Wardlaw and Powell were a bit under the weather for the Giants.

Yes and also mentioned Trembath

 

[The Nostradamus]

Jy/powell probs gets more mid time then this week

Blamires back to his wing

 

[7577969923]

Yes and also mentioned Trembath

All three had their worst games of the season, so it may have been true.

 

[Muscles Thommo]

TP will be known henceforth as Tom's (got) Pictures.

They must be good ones because nothing seems to shift him from the team
Tom Blamires needs to get hold of some

[king rising]

Good call. Happy to give GW a week off.

Play Powell in the guts full time and if he stinks it up again, drop him for GW next week.

Powell should be nowhere near the midfield full stop end of story

 

[jay317]

No Wardlaw makes it tough. A lot falls on FOS to make up for the lack of accountability of the rest.

 

[Moti]

Powell should be nowhere near the midfield full stop end of story

Might be the only player that stays in the forward 50 then.

 

[The Nostradamus]

jy v bailey sniff
fos v holmes

 

[King Hansen]

Powell should be nowhere near the midfield full stop end of story

He was drafted as a mid so let's see what he's got.

 

[king rising]

He was drafted as a mid so let's see what he's got.

100 games later. We’ve seen what he’s got and I can confirm it’s not much.

 

[Devil Fish]

Very interesting game coming up. I don't think anyone with more than half a brain could expect us to win.

Could we be competitive? That would mean we'd need to put our big boy pants on. Let's see.

Specifically keeping the pill away from Barass and Battle seemed to disrupt Hawks system and work pretty well last night, we should give the no long bomb's to Tom Stewart strategy a run for a change

 

[danj]

If we're after stability why we drop Blamires after he was part of a side that won 3 of 4 games?

You’re being a resultist

 

[danj]

That was some awful kit, who knows the clothes might make the man/men win!

 

[Twangler]

I don’t know about that, I think we’ll give Hawthorns game plan last night a go of kicking it to a three on none in our f50.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Btw good for Cooper getting back into the emergencies.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Btw good for Cooper getting back into the emergencies.

Collecting the pill at will in the twos.

 

[hoffseason gains 01]

Blamires to wing. Assuming Holmes plays half back, Simpkin half forward to him with Curtis in the guts. If Holmes plays in the middle, Simpkin in the guts on him. O’Sullivan on Smith.

 

[Devington]

If we're after stability why we drop Blamires after he was part of a side that won 3 of 4 games?

That's a good argument. I'm glad that he was the first cab off the rank, even if from that emergency list it was really only between him and JK.

I really don't understand how Powell has been kept in over him. I just want an answer that can make some sort of sense and seems consistent with other decisions, but squad selection is one of the more black box aspects of the sport with pretty cliche or flippant excuses given by clubs.

 

[kanga kanga kanga]

It's almost like these lifelong football people know more about it than you! Imagine. They should spend more time on big footy so they can avoid the silly mistakes they make.

Nope they took the easy way out

like the last 6 years

 

[kool kangas]

It wasn't the way l wanted Blamires back in but it will have to do..

 

[Tony Barber]

Blamires to wing. Assuming Holmes plays half back, Simpkin half forward to him with Curtis in the guts. If Holmes plays in the middle, Simpkin in the guts on him. O’Sullivan on Smith.

Curtis in the middle?
When we lack small defenders? Where do I sign?

 

[Blightys Barrel]

Clarko should tell Bull on the bus tmrw the Cats players think he is a shite cook and he would burn a fried egg.

He should tell Jy that Bailey Sniff thinks he has better hair locks, 6 pack and is the better runner.

He should tell Corr that Jezza Cameron says he thinks Corr was the worst ever player to leave the Giants, and they have had some shockers over the years.

And finally tell Luke Parker

that Close and Atkins reckons he has gone a little soft in the hard stuff recently.

Clarko does not need to talk to X

 

[GoNorth]

So now we're wearing black shorts?? Seriously? I'm glad they won't be wearing those hideous plum (brown??) coloured shorts but black?? What happened to our royal blue and white colours?
