Be nice if you said where you heard it.

Just a mate

Seems it's a rubbish rumour


I agree average year but hopefully he has 1 Or 2 good games in him

 

[Soaring Magpie]

As much as the outs of the Giants help us, providing the Greene case isn’t over turned tomorrow night, we still must be 100% switched on from the start. They are still a very good side and can trouble us, it’s a prelim and anything is possible. We just need to go back 12 months to see that.
I do take confidence that the club will be taking this opportunity and maximizing their chances, the boys have the opportunity to get a crack at another flag if they play their best footy on Saturday afternoon, I’m getting pretty excited and just want to enjoy every moment!

 

[Pie eyed]

Out: degoo (inj), greenwood (inj), maynard (no matchup)

In: schaz, aish, varcoe

No way Maynard gets dropped unless either his legs fall off or he so offends an opposition player that they need counselling and Maynard is suspended for being too domineering.

No way Maynard gets dropped unless either his legs fall off or he so offends an opposition layer they need conciliating and Maynard is suspended for being too domineering.

I believe that was more of a joke that Greene isn't playing so Maynard doesn't have a matchup rather than an actual suggestion to drop him.

 

[NeverWobble]

Nervous excitement starting to set in. We are in another preliminary final with a chance to go to the big dance again!!!
Particularly excited about having Elliott back, the Moore/Roughy combo, Howe, Crisp, Pendles, Treloar all fit and healthy, the emergence of Wills and Noble, the depth, experience, focus and dedication to the task of all our so called 'role players' lead by Mayney, our "about to explode" forward line , our proven ability to be able to ride the ups and downs of momentum within a game and last years finals experience.
Nervous about all the usual stuff.
Go you Magpies!!!!!

 

[sr36]

bookies odds are about right. Whitfield and Greene out certainly helps. The 1 thing that could trouble us as you mentioned is their 3 talls up forward. They are all difficult matchups

With Roughy, Moore and Howe, maybe Shaz as well, we shouldn't fear aerial balls against any club. I'd be much more worried by a group of slippery smalls, but that's not GWS.

Take this to the bank

IN : Varcoe Aish

Is that a guess or have you heard something? Ballsy if true. Going small backfired last time. Moore back helps but not much height forward.

It’s a guess

The weather forecast is for some heavy rain prior to the game

I would love Reid to play
But it appears the slippery conditions won’t help his case

Im no Chris Scott, but 1-5mm of morning rain does not scream slippery conditions at a ground well known for its drainage

So be it
I would love for Reid to play
But I just think Varcoe May eclipse him

You don’t take a guess to the bank.

Take that to the bank.

Take this to the bank

IN : Varcoe Aish
OUT: Greenwood De goey

Which Bank?

 

[BringouttheGimp]

I'm thinking the same.. Varcoe and Aish.

Start thinking about next week.. snow flakes chance in hell we'll lose this.

 

[Matt_352]

Take this to the bank

IN : Varcoe Aish
OUT: Greenwood De goey

No chance neither Shaz or Reid come in

Don’t think the weather is a reason to go smaller. Wet weather footy usually means more kicking up the line so a big man is just as important in those games to compete in the contest.

 

[Anzacday]

Which Bank?

The Con emwell Bank.

 

[DerekZoolander]

Take this to the bank

IN : Varcoe Aish

I would say they would be the changes if we were playing the Tigers, we need Schaz and perhaps Reid for the Giants game.

 

[BringouttheGimp]

The Con emwell Bank.

Save them jokes for the Dew Drop Inn.. so I can actually laugh after a dozen longnecks re.

Comedy Gold, your show would be a sell out at the Pakenham Inn

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Still none the wiser re selection but I reckon Reid is almost certain and maybe Aish gets the nod over Shaz.

 

[barrackers]

Can’t see us playing both Reid and Scharenberg as it will make too tall. That leaves three options:

Reid & Aish
Varcoe & Scharenberg
Varcoe & Aish

I really don’t see what value Varcoe adds. If he’s to come in it should be at the expense of Brown and I don’t want to see that either.

 

[Aishole]

We should win this.

We’re back playing well, the Giants have not had the rest that we’ve had, they’ve never beaten us at the MCG, they’re lacking Ward/Coniglio/Greene/Whitfield, and the likely weather conditions don’t suit their tall forward line which is their strength.

If we lose, we have no excuses.

Unfortunately, Yes they have.

 

[Aishole]

Take that to the bank.

So true
