Preview 2024 Pre season trial game 2 - Vs West Coast - Hisense Sat Mar 2 @2:40

[Carmo]

Spose we should have a thread for this...

Soligo, Butts and Milera all in.

WC already pretty depleted, not sure how helpful this is gonna be.

No injuries, Rankine to keep doing well, Rach and Pedlar too. Would like to see Hingey do well, been muted so far. A bit more from Fog and Worrell as well is something I'd like to see, a bit more of what our game looks like in season too. That'll do me.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

How many can we play in this game.

Usual 22 & sub or extended benches?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Does anyone know what Hisense is? They sell... high vis gear?

They make electronics and stuff

Extended benches. Seems like up to 8 allowed on the bench

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Can we water the ground so it’s wet and slippery like round 1 ?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

So if we allowed 26 players, something like...

B: Michalanney, Butts, Hinge
HB: Milera, Worrell, Nankervis
C: Soligo, Crouch, Jones
HF: Murphy, Thilthorpe, Keays
F: Rachele, Fogarty, Gollant
R: O'Brien, Dawson, Rankine
I: Burgess, Pedlar, Borlase, Edwards, Smith, Sholl, Berry, McHenry

Assuming we give Curtin time off to get his toe right.

Would consider giving Tex the week off to try set ups without him as we are going to rest him during the season. Make Thilthorpe the main guy & give Burgess & Gollant a go. Tex can play against Freo who will be the tougher opponent.

Also, sounds like Laird needs a rest, so good opportunity to give younger guys more rotations.

I don’t see Taylor

Burgess in defence this week?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Burgess in defence this week?

Wouldn't have thought so with Butts being available & we are keen to play Borlase.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

I don’t see Taylor

Not against bringing him in for McHenry... but was more about team balance.

 

[cleanhands]

Not against bringing him in for McHenry.

If Laird is out would think he plays

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

If Laird is out would think he plays

I was thinking more time for Berry, Rankine, Rachele & Pedlar... but if Pedlar is under a cloud, then he may be rested this week.

 

[cleanhands]

Neddy was one of our better players against Port, he will be on the plane for sure.

Can only hope he’s on the plane

Might get a shock who he’s sitting next to

Where is this plane flying to?

What is the significance of the weather in Perth?

 

[crows dude]

We also have an SANFL game at 10:30 at West Lakes for anyone interested.

 

[Ciao Giacomo]

Ahh my mistake I was thinking the game was in WA. I will be very surprised if Ned isn't named in the AFL team for Saturday given he was one of our best against Powa.

I am not a Neddy fanboy but he played well against Poort Pear. He covers a lot of territory and runs to the right spot which can result in goals. Unfortunately he makes the occasional poor skill error but imho his good outweighs the bad.

Neddy doesn’t have a highlight reel to match Brayden Cook (or Tariek) but he gets involved in the game a hell of a lot more.

 

[StonesThrow]

Burgess in defence this week?

Probably not needed with Butts back in the side and no Allen, but you'd hope they'd put him in defence in the Sanfl at least.

That rules out K Hinkley, then.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Jeremy McGovern when fit for mine.

Not any more as his best is behind him.

Allen is now the better player imo.
