Preview Round 17 – GWS Giants vs Melbourne, Saturday 12th September 2020, Gabba, 7.40PM

[Andre the Giant]

Personally I would love Nick Haynes in a senior leadership if not Captaincy role.

Nick has also been with the club since the beginning and in my opinion is the most consistent player the club has ever had.

Last year I attended an after Grand Final wake and Nick was the most gutted player in the room, they were all hurting but he and Phil were absolutely rock bottom...it’s because they bleed for the club and care. The other guys do as well but it’s just something intangible.

I think he could handle the pressure, he’s already tossed the coin once! LOL

Seriously though I think he’d take it in his stride and would be a fine leader.

The players voted him in as their leader.

Did they really or was it the final piece in the contract negotiations

Which Ward / Davis just announced it has a hand over with no vote in the public to make it sound right

Last years vote was a 3 way tie, not overwhelming by any means and if a vote was done this season without contract side of it involved you would find Davis, Haynes, Toby and Cogs feature

Is there a Captaincy thread where things can be discussed

 

[Callums_Guns]

Back on track with the final session before tomorrows game

Nick strikes me, based off his videos, etc, as not being particularly interested in a leadership role or putting himself forward.

They knew he was a future captain as soon as he stepped in the joint.

Jack Buckley - going by scratch match reports it did sound like he was knocking on the door

Let's see how he goes

 

[Colonial]

Cool way of doing it.

 

[Giant Pete]

Lol... 8 changes

 

[PRANKSTER666]

Will Tom Green get a good run on the ball?

Yep

Let's see how he goes

Where will he play? Size suggests key back but I thought he was down as a midfield in the ressies match reports

 

[JC100]

Because he can't get near it when he's in there.

And on the odd occasion he gets it he blindly hack kick turns it over (most often bizarrely on his left foot).

The left foot hack kicks have been so bizarre. Often when out in space.

Plays more like a taller mid-size forward from the times I've seen him. But gets lauded for his high work rate and tackle pressure.

 

[Colonial]

Has lost confidence in his awareness.

 

[Land of the Giants]

The players voted him in as their leader.

Democracy isn't perfect. Sometimes, the wrong person gets the nod.

 

[Orange Agent]

Injured his left last year. The conspiracy theoriest would say he doesn't want plant on his left to kick with his right. Whether that's true or not I don't know but it's quite possible his knee is not the same.

 

[Callums_Guns]

Captain Toby for the 2nd time tomorrow

 

[Giant Pete]

So unsure about how the team will play tonight. Most likely it will be the inevitable slow ball movement.

 

[Hojuman]

You guys better be good to go. Depending on you to get us Melb's. first rd. draft pick at 5 / 6 / or 7

God knows we need it.

 

[Giant Strides]

Depending on you to get us Melb's. first rd. draft pick at 5 / 6 / or 7.

Well, that's damned unfortunate for you, isn't it?

 

[Simmofreo]

Tobes to captain and team to win by 50 under his leadership
