Preview Round 2 2024 – West Coast Eagles vs GWS Giants, Sunday March 24, 6.50pm AEDT, Optus Stadium

Pokie-less has to be the standard.

Agreed, if only for the state government is a hairsbreath away from either banning them or raising the tax so high it won’t matter if they are legal.

Wouldn’t mind if we looked at a club like Leichhardt Bowling Club as “the venue”

Anything that will help the club and create that sense of home.

Might be too “Lesser Western” Sydney but they’re a dynamic club with zero pokies and a great community feel.

Inner west still west ish.

New kit

 

[BarryAglett]

White "G" instead of black "G"?

 

[JC100]

I hope we don’t star Haynes on a wing. Unless there is an injury in the back 7 he really shouldn’t be in the 22. He isn’t quick and his disposal isn’t up to playing on a wing.

XO made a few mistakes but has enough runs on the board. Wehr should get another game but if not then give Angwin a run

 

[Seattle Mariners]

What an an absolute laugher of a game coming up.

Giants by 3 figures.

 

[Giant YoYo]

Probably should've headed over to the pub page before today, looks like all the tables under this event have been reserved.

Have reserved a spot in the bar in what I assume will become Giants overflow. Or we may end up taking over the entire pub

Great news, I mean not that you missed out but it’s always good to hear “booked out”

But it can’t be true the NRL reporter said no one knows who the Giants are.

When's Nick's bub due? Is that around now, or is this something else?

 

[Battlepants]

When's Nick's bub due? Is that around now, or is this something else?

Yeah that must be it. He mentioned in that latest interview ahead of the North Melbourne game that the baby was due soon.

I guess McMullin gets back in as the sub now.

 

[Orange crush]

Pity Darcy isn't quite ready, would be a nice chance

 

[Giant Strides]

Angwin a chance, perhaps?

 

[Colonial]

Yeah it’s Bub.

 

[Giant Strides]

Yeah it’s Bub.

OK, so just precautionary at the moment, it would seem. Just the wrong time of the year (what was he thinking 9 months ago!) given that even home games are on the road for the next couple of months.

 

[Colonial]

what was he thinking 9 months ago!

Probably what we would all be thinking at that time.

 

[Orange crush]

Probably what we would all be thinking at that time.

Not yet, not yet, not yet ....

 

[Giant Strides]

Probably what we would all be thinking at that time.

What - "let me sleep!"?

 

[ragzztoriches]

Glad Haynes is alright, was worried when I saw personal reasons.

Do we think one of McMullin or Angwin to come in for him?

 

[Giant Strides]

Do we think one of McMullin or Angwin to come in for him?

I would think McMullin, given he did OK in Opening Round subbing for Callan.

Outside chance IMHO that Angwin takes Wehr's place in my mind, which might pop Wehr into the sub role, but I really don't expect that ... or Angwin as the sub.

 

[BarryAglett]

Good question.
Maybe Muff for his versatility?

 

[ragzztoriches]

Wouldn’t mind Angwin in for Wehr and McMullin in for Haynes.

Off the top of the head Wehr hasn’t been stellar in the first two games but I might be getting myself muddled.

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

Most people know my views on Angwin - if they are going to replace Wehr then I would use Peatling (also named) I think he’s more versatile than Angwin anyway - can play forward or back - emphasis on the words “can play” which automatically makes him more useful than Angwin.

For what it’s worth though, I think Wehr keeps his spot & McMullet will be the only in.

 

[Hendo_21]

Would like to see Mcmullin get a chance if Wehr gets dropped was really encouraged by his shift as the sub against the pies, seems to be right on the cusp.
