Preview Round 1, 2021: GWS v St.Kilda - GIANTS Stadium, Sunday 21st March, 3:20PM AEDT *HIGHMORE DEBUT*

[Barrels]

Slow with a step. Like Hayes. Without the step he'd be in trouble.

Greg Williams was slower than a double amputee in a tar pit.

Kane Tenace was bloody quick.

Guess which one of them was any good.

Seems a bit weird, he always looks buggered in the second half. But I guess Harvs always did too.

Harvs usually looked buggered after the first bounce...

I’ve never noticed it before. Yep exactly like Hayes. I guess this is the first time I’ve seen him live since he became my favourite player at the end of 2019.

Harves looked buggered 5 minutes into the 1st quarter

Not sure what HUnter and Jack were doing playing against us in round 9 but otherwise good to know.


ONe thing about Hunter is his speed is a real worry. I never noticed how slow he was until I saw him against Carlton. Was he just not pushing himself hard enough because he was outrun on three separate occasions.

You don't need too much speed when you can cover a heap of ground, win contested footy and move that well through traffic.

Hunter’s tank is fine by the looks of it.

Carlisle 4th on the list - 2m tall key defender - who would of thought.

its been so *in long the entire side has passed away from old age

 

[jwint43]

the weather makes this one a 50/50 game, might acutally help us considering half our first team is out

 

[Joffaboy]

Slow with a step. Like Hayes. Without the step he'd be in trouble.

He has the step though and with his awesome double sided kicking opens it up for the runners.
Hard as a cats head and gets his own ball. Pendles, Mitchell, Selwood, Harvs, not quick either.

I'm very happy with Highmore getting an early gig but it's Bytel l really want to see.

 

[lewdogs]

Go Tommy

Ratts bringing the inspiring stuff up a gear. That was pretty epic.

 

[Greshs Eye]

wow, I'm as cynical as they come, and that Highmore vid got me. Quite amazingly personal insight I think.

I wonder how Carlisle felt watching it?!

 

[Joffaboy]

Go Tommy

Snake impressed

 

[Greshs Eye]

I wonder how Carlisle get watching it?!

indifference lol

 

[Saint_Dos]

I'm very happy with Highmore getting an early gig but it's Bytel l really want to see.

Surely with Jones missing he would be right in the mix.
I hope to see him named and that DMac cops the invisible vest.

Am I right in thinking the odds are a bit disrespectful towards you guys or do you have more injuries than I realised? Just thought you guys were a decent chance here.

9 of our best 22 out

Although they were favourites before a lot of those injuries

We were good value a month ago...now it feels optomistic.
