Preview Pre-Season 2022

Whitfield is noticeably bigger

So does Bruhn

 

[Giant Pete]

Don't mind the idea of him playing a simlar role to what we see Llyod play as a half forward linking player that is more so setting up players but still being a goal kicker. He's such an elite player that we can't really go wrong with where he's going to play, I think it's best to take advantage of his versatility and move him around like a chess piece as long as he's able to fluctuate between the multiple roles (don't think he'll have any issues).

Disagree. He is a walk up AA player if he plays half back for us. He plays his best footy off half back for us. No brainer.

I like him at halfback too, however for team balance he may be better on a wing and delivering the ball inside 50.

or wing.

 

[Vic pokiesmon]

I know it doesn't necessarily mean a player has a serious injury if they miss these 2 km time trials but who missed both of them.?I know Sproule and Buckley missed because of injury but what about Himmelberg,Preuss,Hopper,Hill and Callaghan. I couldn't find them and few others?

 

[Pres]

I remember commentators raving about his ability to get up and back on the field a few years back.

That was many many years ago

 

[Pres]

Were Hill and DeBoer even there?

Let’s hope he gets into his ear a bit about effort and professionalism

Jesus he looks huge.

 

[Gigantic]

He did well in the time trial too. Not sure what his time was but he finished within the top 5 or 6.

 

[Giant Strides]

Unleash the Green beast!

 

[Andre the Giant]

Jesus he looks huge.

He has the Paul Kelly guns!

He’s going to be hard to stop.
Perhaps inspired by James Hird? Or the possibility of being used in the ruck again?

Seems official ...

as captains for the 2022 season

The Giants have called a media conference for 11.30am AEDT today at Sydney Olympic Park where the three-headed co-captaincy model will be revealed.

Get that up you Gil!

 

[sydney_gws]

Crikey Callaghan is built like a brick shithouse

Like Bontompelli perhaps?
It would be funny if this drafts top 4 is similar to 2013 draft.
Bontompelli - Callaghan
Tom Boyd - Darcy
Josh Kelly - Daicos
Billings - Horne Francis

 

[Giant Pete]

Geez Cooper Hamilton is an interesting prospect. Apparently he is A+ when it comes to character. He’s a solidly built 18 year old who is a freak runner. If his kicking is not terrible I can see him playing more than a few games next year.

 

[Giant Strides]

Looks like jumper numbers are being revealed ... perhaps later today if the current tweet is a teaser!

 

[Giant Strides]

OK, the new jumper numbers have been released. A few nice little video tributes have been put up on twitter.

The main story omits Cooper Hamilton's assigned number (that's poor! ).

[EDIT: Removed comment re jumper #s 9, 10, 11.]
[EDIT: Added Cooper's #43 from an Instagram story.]

Strangely, jumpers # 9, 10 & 11 all without incumbents but not used.

That's weird because he was on the social media post, not sure why he'd be in one but not the other
