Game Day Round 1, 2021: GWS v St.Kilda *HIGHMORE DEBUT*

[Kilroy]

Just a fan, saying what I see.

Just kidding mate, but yes it's (L-R) Daryl and Geoff Cunningham and Trevor Barker

Reckon Trev would have had the long sleeves on a wet day.

Usually, yes.

 

[stfan]

Why is Jake Carlisle not playing if 100% ??

Well one reason for today's game would be that GWS only have the one tall forward, and Himmelberg is only 194cm.

So there is no opponent for him.


That plus Rats seems to favour speed and mobility.

I know there’s no correlation between rain and injury but if it’s flooded as bad as they are saying it could be dangerous. Anyway guess we’ll wait and see.

All good. Agree to disagree. Go Saints!

I'm imagining some 'COVID Enforcer' yelling at a young family to sit in their seats while it's pissing down and 80% of the stadium is empty.

I’ll let you know how I get on if that happens...!

What a backman!

my first ever players number!

 

[Geary Is GOAT]

I don’t think that’s clear at all. Ratts mustn’t like him much, but as far as his on field ability I have him best 22

Ratts played him in 13 out of a possible 19 games including the final he was available to play in. And of those he missed was it injury or suspension that forced him out? I think he was only 'dropped' for two or three games last year.

So to say he's out of the team because Ratt's 'doesn't like him' is pretty silly. I think it's pretty clear the club don't see him in the 22, and given the injuries and the fact he still can't get a game then he's probably not seen in the top 28 players at the club.

All good. Agree to disagree. Go Saints!

Definitely the Cunningham brothers and barks.

 

[Moquo]

All good. Agree to disagree. Go Saints!

Definitely Barks. I spent a fair bit of time with Greg Burns, and that aint him.

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

With the conditions i feel more relaxed about the game, might be hard to get 4 points but should be a good hitout

 

[The Jack]

100% Barks

 

[StCicatriz]

Nervous. Especially with the latest results and now norf in front of port

My concern is - we've got a tough draw, and a lot of the s**t sides are looking like they'll be OK. This could be a very bad year to have a tough draw.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Saints by plenty

On the flip side, we gave both Carlton and North an absolute bath in the pre-season and they both seem to be even better than we thought...

More realistically, footy teams are always much closer than people think and this is especially true in the early rounds before some teams start to get weighed down by psychological baggage and injuries while other teams get propelled forward by momentum.

Round 1 is notorious for throwing up wacky results. I wouldn’t worry too much until a few rounds in.

Don’t see how it makes our draw tougher apart from Swans looking better than expected though? Not much point drawing too many conclusions out of round 1 anyway - you wouldn’t need reminding that last year norf beat us. Giants beat cats too...

[StCicatriz]
