GAME DAY, ROUND 2, 2015

It's been such a great week. Is is greedy to want the good vibes to continue for at least another seven days?

or perhaps another 189 days....
 

Like last week, I think much of this game comes down to the midfield. Jamar quelling Mumford is a start, but they still have Treloar, Shiel, Coniglio, Ward, Griffen, Greene, Palmer and Whitfield - it's quite a deep midfield and could do significant damage. Break even there, and I think our back line has their forward line sufficiently covered to generate a lot of scoring plays from the back half.


Remember that 12 goal final quarter the last time we beat the Giants? I watched that last night to razz myself up a little bit for today's match and I actually found myself pretty underwhelmed by it, regardless of the thrashing. Maybe because it happened in arguably the worst season in our history. Maybe because seeing Mark Neeld in a Melbourne polo still makes my eye twitch. Maybe because Trengove and Grimes were our captains (WTF, seriously). Maybe because I saw hacks like Bail, Byrnes, M. Jones, Terlich and so many others running around in our jumper and was reminded that these guys were among our core group throughout that period.

What did razz me was to see how things have changed since then. Only eight players from the team that day will line up for us today (N. Jones, Garland, Howe, Jamar, Jetta, Viney, Tommy Mac and Watts) and they are all so improved. Our boy Frost was wearing that hideous orange and charcoal guernsey. Dom Tyson was either in the twos or injured, but either way most probably already contemplating his move back to Victoria :P

I think we'll get the four points today but I definitely don't expect any 12 goal quarters. Unfortunately I won't be watching so I'll have to wait for the replay to find out :(

Apparently the Scully family will be sitting in the Eastern Grandstand today.

They managed to book it early so all six of them should be able to squeeze in.

hired a crane to lower them in i imagine
 

No the Eastern Grandstad was booked for fat Phil


During casual warm up earlier, Dunn cleared the netting behind the goals from the 50m mark

if we loose i will blame Dawes & Watts, and call for the sacking of Roos.

if we win Jones & Tyson are champions,Kent will have a day out & in Roos i will trust.

4 games ago we scored 3 goals in an entire match against the giants and lost by 64 pts at the G. Amazing to think we are all expecting a win. A preseason is a long time in footy!


It's funny cause GWS supporters think they should win; and we think we should win. It'll be an interesting game today...

Ha ha all 2 of them!

I am so nervous, it's so hard to know what to expect!!!

This game will be won in the coaches box. Last week roos showed some tricks using Kent and viney in tagging roles that no one else would have predicted. Roos is very canny in how he has motivated the players individually and as a team in the past. (Referring to Richmond game last year and the essendon comeback) very optimistic today.

This game will be won in the coaches box.

Well that's good news then.


FML any chance we can stop giving away dumb frees?

Also what's with the bell ringing in the background??

Roos said pre game we will go to Griffen over the other mids.

That's just playing the percentages - Griffen invariably stars against us.

    Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
