Review Round 10 GWS vs Carlton, Saturday 1st June 1:45 @ Etihad

[captainMyCaptain]

The last time we met Carlton we put in one of our better performances last year when we were within two goals of the blues at the main break with o'hailpin kicking 3 majors before going down with an acl which was a major turning point after already losing Brogan earlier in the match. So here's hoping that we match or better that effort this time round.

And for those interested here is some highlights from that match:

Will Setanta play, he was subbed early.... I would love to see Thornton get a run, he might be a bit fired up against his old mates

Best theme song in the AFL

We can't be silent
'Cause they might be giants
And what are we going to do unless they are

 

[Bogan Juniors]

lol... clever

I'm hoping if and when the Giants make the grannie in 2017 that TMBG would make better half time entertainment than Lionel Ritchie or Meatloaf.

That said, few under the age of 35 or over the age of 50 would have ever heard of them. Well, maybe 'Istanbul'...

Well, maybe 'Istanbul'...

Is it Istanbul, or Constantinople?

 

[Azul]

Is it Istanbul, or Constantinople?

That's nobody's business but the Turks.

That's nobody's business but the Turks.

...and if G-Man ever needed a sidekick, "Particle Man" (or the victorious "Triangle Man") fit the bill nicely, especially with their oom-pa-pa riffs.

[Fayed]

Sumner to come in this weekend?

 

[coniglio_number1]

Wonder if we will get a rising star non this round. Summer still eligible I believe. Is Adams eligible? Would like to see one of thenew boys grab a few noms this year as well!

 

[OrangeDuck]

Adams is not eligible. Played 15 games last year. Anyone know who would be eligible? I think Dom Tyson and WHE are but idk who else off memory.

Looks like Wilson and Reid a chance to get promoted to the senior side:

UWS GIANTS Coach Brett Hands says it was disappointing to let the Suns get away in the second term.
"We made some costly mistakes and they capitalised on them. We need to work on our concentration lapses and stop the opposition kicking quick goals in succession like they did,” said Hand.
“The Suns dominated the hit outs and centre clearances and put our back line under a lot of pressure.”
“Sam Reid was outstanding all day, spreading both forward and back and he got on the end of a few too.
“Nathan Wilson was also lively up forward and it was good to see him playing with some spark and kicking three goals.
“Mark Whiley won plenty of the ball at stoppages and did a very good job tagging Michael Rischitelli in the second half, while Lachie Plowman and Will Hoskin-Elliott were very solid defensively,” he said.
Tyson also impressed Hand. "Dom [Tyson] played about 60 per cent of the game and he was very pleasing. He was creative at stoppages, moved well and showed some slick hands," said Hand.
“He’ll be better for the run and we’ll increase his workload next week.”

Hoskin-Elliot, Tomlinson, Tyson, Edwards, Miles, Haynes, Patton Wilson, Phillips, Darley, Whitfield, Bruce, Buntine, Sumner, Frost, Whiley, Plowman, Corr, Golds, Williams, Aylett, Ugle,

Would expect a nod for Whitfield, Tyson, Sumner and WHE and Patton will win it next year.

 

[Hotcox]

Blues to rest a few players this week in preperation for a big month ahead after this match. Hoping Ohalipin and Thornton both play.

 

[Drezdyn]

Looks like Hampton's staying in the squad this week.

I hope he'll find some form in this match and bounce back.

Looks as though Buntine is also staying in.

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

Don't know how Hampton survived the cut. Just baffling

 

[captainMyCaptain]

In: D.Brogan, J.Townsend, N.Wilson
Out: S.Gilham, S.O'hAilpin, A.Miles

 

[Simmofreo]

I trust they know what they are doing, but why do I always feel disappointed at selection time wondering why they leave out the players I really feel we need for a particular game. I know he had a quiet one last week, but really felt we needed Setanta this week !! And we have a pretty small backline considering how tall their forewords are ! Hmmm

This weeks team selection seems puzzling. One could almost argue that we were tanking . Seriously, Corr and Bruce as the Key defenders? I can understand wanting to get experience into the team, but you would want to limit the thrashings somewhat.

Mr Sheedy... please explain.

 

[jimsta10]

Guys, you're always welcome on our board.....We have about 25 pages of crap each week...fun and games

We seem to have more experimental sides on away games.

 

[captainMyCaptain]

Would think we are trying to freshen up a few of the guys given after this match for the first time we will have back to back games at skoda with the rd 12 game against port being the one we target for a win with the bye to follow that.

So we will have 3 weeks where we don't have to travel before we get into the 2nd half of the year might just be the break we need to recharge our batteries.

 

[Scully2Folau]

Seems WHE is the travelling emergency as he's the only one not named in the twos side posted by captainMyCaptain.
