We need to fix our last quarters since the bye we have lost 7 of our last 8 quarters if we didn't have a 5 goal lead entering the last we might of got overrun.

Being down 2 players for the best part of 3 and a bit quarters on the MCG will do that to you one would think. It was a poor quarter from an offensive view point but from a down in the trenches fight for your life defensive effort it was a masterclass.

Oh agreed ive said in the past we are one of the best at defending a lead but ideally you wanna do that with a few mins left not shut up shop at the start of it

After not having read the past 2 pages the key for me is we have to bring Marsh in

Could be a while. One might say The Long Marsh.

The Arduous Marsh.

Just a heads up if you haven't realised the opening Bledisloe cup game is on at ANZ Saturday night. There will be a lot of traffic in the other direction after the game. Also pop up bars and buzz around Olympic Park. Not too bad for public transport, they will put on direct city trains I expect.

If it means you decide to watch on TV we'll understand.

 

[mikey_san]

six weeks for poor Nic Smith and his tendon, the bad news for AJ confirmed.

Giants will be interesting with no big-mouth-twat directing traffic from down back.
If we don't beat them this week, we never will. Got to have Reg ready to go and we can control this game. It will be great to have him back - and our season hinges on him I reckon. Given what he has brought for the last 200 games that is no bad thing.

Bledisloe cup? Does that get a bigger crowd than the netball these days? There's only so many kiwis around to care...
(thanks for the tip though)

Grimlock, hopefully I have this correct

You mean like we did in Round 3 at the SCG, when they were injury hit....

 

[SwansProudly]

from press conference via twitter
Leon Cameron: Josh Kelly is probably unlikely for this week as you don’t want to risk a guy with a head knock. But we will see how he trains tomorrow.
Longmire: Zak Jones will come back in, we expect Heath (Grundy) will also put his hand up to play.

 

[caesar88]

Geez GWS are over-rated on this board.

I think we’ll drop this one, if only because of our tendency to follow up courageous wins with absolute tripe performances. Hopefully we reverse that trend this week.

In: Grundy, Jones
Out: AJ, Smith

 

[S120]

I'm feeling another win here. GWS have been up for quite a while now but are now being hollowed out by injuries. Losing Shaw, Kelly, Simpson, Greene, Taylor, Deledio in the space of 2 games is a big chunk of their best side. They're still a good side to be sure, but they aren't invincible and they're reaching into their depth.

We've got our own injury worries but replacing Johnson and Smith with Grundy and Jones is pretty good. We seem to have got our energy and strong defensive coverage all over the ground back at the perfect time and I think we'll win another close one.

Beware the Ides of Marsh.

Not sure what happened but BJ hasn't played one game for Sydney Uni.
Leonardis is with North Melbourne's VFL team.
Edwards Sydney Uni
Talia is with a SANFL team, Norwood IIRC.

 

[MF]

I think we will win and clip them

No one can cover that injury list
Kelly
Greene
Scully
Shaw
Lids
Williams
Patton
Simpson
Reid
Taylor

That's more talent than Carlton, St Kilda and Freo have on their entire lists

 

[Banyo Bloods]

Could be possibly a bit flat after the AJ news going into the game. He would want us to focus but seems a few will have it on their mind if Saturday was anything to go by.
