That’s offensive.

Lot of optimism here. I am not. This game has an upset written all over it. Giants have historically pants us in stoppages and clearances and I suspect it will happen again tonight.

Question is will our defensive pressure negate any post clearance advantage obtained and whether we can create a turnover in D50. Not the best way to win but we have shown grit here.

Trac is playing hurt so De boer will most likely goto Oliver. We could try to throw a curveball by pushing Trac into HF and have Brayshaw run through the middle for the whole game. Keep wings unchanged and have JJ run with Kelly.

Ahh ... Take 2.

Kick straight and we'll kill 'em.
Kick poorly and it'll be tougher than it needs to be.
Biggest threat is our own scoring efficiency.

Well this thread shrunk quickly since the hour ago I was here. 

Obviously some very busy mods today 😁. 

Looking forward to a good game tonight to round a family reunion BBQ. Hoping for the chance to be loud in the suburbs of Brisbane.

Go us!!

Whitfield is their danger man.  Beautiful kick.  Very attacking forays from their d50.

But it sounds like he is carrying an injury so he may not be as effective as usual.

I don’t reckon we care much about stoppage and clearance we setup to win the game through turnover and are usually happy to let the oppo have an extra in the midfield while we put ours behind the ball.

I’ve always loved Jesse, and I still do. Therefore I hope he has a great game and even snags a few. Just as long as he does so as a player in the losing side. ❤️💙

I've got Gawn and Oliver in my Supercoach side and am looking to captain one of them for double points.
Who will have the bigger game do you all think?
With Pruess out I'm leaning towards Gawny but can he put together 2 in a row.
Oliver was quiet last week but he's rarely quiet 2 in a row.
What a conundrum 😕

What sort of crowd are we expecting? I can’t see it being more than 30k, at best.

The problem with being at the top of the table and undefeated is we're bound to lose some time but I can never tell when so each and every game feels like a danger game

Weid to bag another 4 goals, keeping up the trend of his feast or famine type performances

Unfortunately much more famine than feast.

Much better feeling than wondering when we'll win one.  And we've all been there.

Hopefully we can get the maid to set him up a feast for tonight then

Preuss out is a big issue for them and as result i can't see them hurting us at stoppages and clearances.

Depends whether or not Bitters can source an outfit.

Hopefully not a bad omen but my Dees pedestrian gate fell off its hinges today 😬

Trac rumoured to be doing a fitness test this morning, so potential definitely there for a late change.

 

Anything more on this aspect

[Dees2014 2,377]

I’ve got a bad feeling about this game, which l haven’t had for any other games this year. The talk from David King about us being 50% better than any other team this year, and then having that re-enforced on AFL 360 makes me very uneasy. It would be very easy for us to fall back into old habits. Goody and the coaching staff have a real challenge on their hands tonight….l hope lm wrong but l fear l am not……

I can’t recall how Maxy was against Mumy but their midfield were renowned for picking off his hit outs, so wouldn’t count on this alone. Also Flynn coming in for Preuss will want to make a statement.

If Trac is playing hurt why the hell would the football Dept tempt fate?? Better to play Dunstan and be done with it!!
