Preview Round 2, 2020: GWS vs North Melbourne, Giants Stadium, Sunday June 14th 1:05pm

[GWS Goose]

It's the most difficult question for selection this year I think.

Cumming could not have done any more in pre season and Rd 1. My view is he must play.

They are surely competing for the same spot?

Those 2 and A Kennedy for 2 spots for me.

 

[Determinant]

We registered for selection also, would be great but also happy to watch at home, all that matters right now to me is we are playing.

The postponement affected me in exactly the same way the church ban affected the devout

Rewatching the rnd 1 game on the Weekend, Heath Shaw coughed up some ball and also took other options that put us under pressure which led to turnovers a possession or so later.
He did a bit of that last year as well. My view he has taken more risk in the past than most as he had the skill ot do so and that opend it up for us. Now he is starting to decline with age (father time is undefeated) that aggressive options is not quite working as much.
Do people think he is any chance to miss?

Based on Rnd 1, he was definitely out performed by Cumming, Kennedy, Llyod and Green who seem to be the guys in danger of missing.

I also wonder if we will see any players available fo rnd 1 that werent selected make their way in (Hill, Caldwell and hately the most likely)

I hope the club has matured and we see a more ruthless approach to selection from 2020.
The 2017 PF and 2019 GF saw underdone players exposed on the expanse of the MCG.
I appreciate the temptation to reward loyalty and past great deeds, but draw the line when a player is past it or unfit.
Shaw has been fantastic however he declined significantly last year.
If it’s time for renewal on the field, hopefully Shaw will stick around in a coaching and mentoring capacity.

Still some 2.10 available on the Giants to finish top 4 this year if anyone's after a bet.

I got the RSVP as well, Playfair north. I'm not exactly the most fanatical member so I'm considering it an unexpected bonus. I don't know about the food situation, is food available, or do you need to bring some?

Well done to everyone who got a ticket to the match. Unfortunately not me .

Good to see Callan back - rip in big fella! Very happy that Zaccy is back also. Have to wait until tomorrow for the final players, but happy to see all of Green, Hately & Caldwell pressing close. Would have liked Ash to have been in that mix too, ah well, can't have everyting.

Go GIANTS!

Bad luck to Green but will get another shot.

Very strong team, not worried about the 5 day break at all.

Langdon also a bit stiff too, just goes to show how strong the team is
