For the pure poetry of it all, I really want to see him play.

I can’t wait to see him play. I wouldn’t be surprised if they had a round set prior to the season for when he’s earliest possible return could be.

I can.

I think in the circumstance where there's a late out and he's the one to fill it.

I also think we've been a bit understated with him tbh. Hasn't had a huge amount of hype around him.

 

[Giant Pete]

You guys will win this one comfortably. We have injuries, no confidence and can’t score.

 

[danj]

I'd like to see a couple of younger guys get a shot maybe Ahern for LMac and McKay in the backline, dropping Goldie simply seems like the sensible thing to do then utlize Majak in the ruck.

Yeah sure in those circumstances. I think if they planned to play him they wouldn’t miss the opportunity for the feel good story.

You’ve still got a decent side, especially in the middle.

 

[RobZombie]

No change tonight
Zurharr, Ahern, Hrovat, Walker the emergencies

There’ll be at least one tall emergency.

 

[ozzyoslo]

Larkey replaces Waite

 

[giantroo]

No change.

Is Tim mohr still on the list.

Matchup for Brown I guess

[Snake_Baker]

Fair enough. Zurhaar will probably travel.

Crikey, they didn't bring back Patton. Cameron will get gang stomped.

I assume Lobb will get forward a bit.

I dont think so, cant be certain. It'll probably be Corr our best defender unless we rate Waite or Wood bigger threats, which seems unlikely. They both need covering. My guess is Tomlinson to wood and Mohr to Waite, if Waite plays deep forward?

I'm glad he's in, he will have the right attitude.

 

[Billy Not Really]

If Giants get smashed the headlines will be (and rightly so) asking for Leon Cameron's head for not being able to couch a premium list with injuries. Brad Scott has at least proved he can coach a team competitively and even win, with an injured 22. Last year kinda proved that.

Good. Manners are an underrated attribute on the football field

 

[Rod Stroker]

They could have brought in Simpson to allow Lobb to play permanent forward and stretch our defense.

 

[Rad Roo]

one too few tall isn't as bad as one too many. in fact if we are 2 too short then we will run out game better. richmond is on average like 2 to 3 kpp short hence they can always run out games better in the final quarter. Against the good teams, richmond is always within a goal or two ahead until Q4 where they run away 50 pt winners.

 

[Dirty_11]

Good, no changes. All the calls for LMac to be dropped were doing my head in.

I could see us somewhat orchestrating a late change to facilitate it as well.

 

[Roos Addick]

I start to worry when lots of these “experts” start tipping us.
