Geez your optimistic!
I think we're teetering, and heaven forbid we cop one more long-term injury, we'll be done. Stick a fork thru' the season.

Look at the injury list and we're well positioned to be stronger after the bye. Tough time ahead but a flag was never going to be won without overcoming hurdles at some point. Dont want to belittle the pain the guys will be going through in rehab, or the lost input. We might actually be better for exposing some youngsters and imoroving depth by the end of the year though
I worry a bit about the extra pressure put on guys like Taranto and Loyd and now Perryman, but if they step up we're looking great.

Perryman is hillarious. Every media outlet is going to want to interview that guy

He does lòok the gòods a real bush youngster come to the city to make good.
Am I the only one worried he hasn't started shaving

I can see the midfield being vulnerable for this game after the effort from the missing rotations causing fatigue although with the small forwards all able to rotate through the midfield that should ease the load and the luck of the draw having 7 day breaks
And hopefully SJ has a good game as he has the potential to be the match winner again
With the announcement that Perryman comes in I would see 3 changes to the team and also expect Whitfield to have a big impact this weekend after the run to remove the cobwebs
Greene, Perryman and MDB to come in
I can't see a tall replacing Corr as the Tigers play a small forward line and they might rotate Patton or Lobb back if one is not having much impact which with Rance is possible and also the extra mid rotations will be important, and is rain forecast for the game?

Hello friends.

With the weather forecast for Saturday being total s**t, I was wondering if any of you could tell me which bays/areas had sheltered seating? I would prefer to at least be dry while seeing my team get destroyed.

Thanks!

Anywhere on the top level would be driest. On the bottom level you'd need to be in the top half a dozen rows to be undercover, and avoid the away end at all costs.

Track work only an issue from the west?

I've been before, it is terrific! Just never been in bad weather so not really noticed how much shade I've had.

Sadly I'm coming from west of Granville so that's frustrating. The track work on weekends lately has been terrible.

Fair enough assuming is always risky.
Actually ñeither have I. Hughie is a GWS supporter I think, which makes sense, and we've been blessed the last couple of years at least. I come from the other direction but am close so am lucky in that regard.
Think it will be a good contest, find the humility from tigers supporters a bit of a surprise.
Just hope your guys go easy in the tackles we need this lot to carry us for a while.
No excuses though and hopefully 44 fit players after the game.

This for sure, though tbh I can't see this being a big crowd, GA undercover unlikely to be all taken

 

[Giant Pete]

Barrett just reported Lobb probably a late out this week

 

[Raymann]

Considering the weather forecast maybe not a bad thing

Patton

Patton

Or even Tommo. Could bring HH back in to allow for that option too. Then you have Patton and Tommo as options.

One fewer tall (Perryman for Himmelberg) = necessary in any conditions. Belated but better than never.

If weather is bad, at least one further fewer tall, say M Kennedy in for Lobb. And I'd consider another change of De Boer in for Corr or Tomlinson.

Richmond has 1 good tall forward in Riewoldt, who presumably will be covered by Davis. Other than that, the danger will come from smalls. Davis and one of Corr/Tomlinson IMO would be sufficient.

 

[kulak]

Looking forward to seeing Perryman. Seems like a character.

Adelaide bid on him at the draft and ended up taking Galluci with the pick. Will be interested to see what we missed out on!
