Saad and Hallahan in then. We also need to get Fiorini in as well..
Is Hall or Swallow playing in the twos this week does anyone know?

The club has said multiple times that Saad will be given another week in the NEAFL

 

[Ben Drever]

Thinking that selections will not matter this week.

There are a few teams in the Comp that have such good running midfields and wingers that atm (missing 6 midfielders) they will thrash us in the centre of the ground and therefore thrash us on the scoreboard. Annoying but true.

We will be able to match up pretty well in defence and in attack, but the ball will move too quickly and too often for our defenders and too slow and too infrequently for our forwards.

Giants are one of those teams. The Giants average the most inside 50's for the season, a full 11 more than we average. We will have a crack but the matchup is really really bad for us and our margin for error will be tiny.

Looking forwards to games against the Pies and Port where our midfield will match up a lot better and we will have a decent shot.

I will be watching this week nonetheless, but I rate our chance of a win as a Dumb and Dumber chance. Would help if the weather was good and the Giants all went to the beach on Friday and mentally checked out.

We've got 4 wins and 4 losses against the Giants i know it's unlikely but how good would it be to get a winning record over a team.

Hi guys,
Looking forward to Saturdays game, hope it's a fine day and a good contest. I get you guys are crueled by injuries and genuinely hope this sorts itself out sooner rather than later.
Not braggin but apart from Dylan Shiel and Caleb Marchbank we had pretty much our best to pick from, so we've got know excuses. From our point of view we need now to win every game to secure a top 4 spot, get you'll be tryin to finish the year well.

That would be a nice feeling

How long do you think Shiel is out for?

Genuinely unknown. Dreaded groin soreness which seems to often be chronic. Fingers crossed as the pointy end approaches for us.
Last year at Metricon I reckon Touk Millar was the best mid on the ground, understand he's goin ok.

Yeah been stepping up amazingly well without the other midfield pieces in the guts.

 

[Bokonon]

Hopefully a good contest then

 

[Choppers]

I really admire Rosa's positive attitude. Just the type of person OUR SUNS need.

[Cochblocked]

Great first quarter!

 

[kreglze]

Lol late goals...

 

[nutstar]

Not a fan of the late goals. But loving the crack everyone seems to be having. Loved Sexton effort. Body on the line stuff. As always love Lynch up the front, and May down back.

 

[Iva Bigun]

Quick hands, kicks hitting targets

Did we swap jumpers ?

 

[Iva Bigun]

Really good signs for the future

 

[LynchysMob]

Impressed by what we've done so far with 1/10th of the midfield they have.

 

[IanW]

This is a bloody good game of football.

You have one hell of a spine.

 

[Fidel Cashflow]

Glimpses of Garlett & Ah Chee is encouraging for the future

Rance has arguments to be the best KPD in the competition. Stephen May says otherwise.

 

[kreglze]

Garlett, Ah Chee and Matera have been awesome up forward. So happy with this performance.

 

[Krozza]

Absolutely superb first half. Fierce and committed. Just so much to like!!!!
