Normally first 4 are reserves, but I don't think this will be the case.

A side that is on the way up from very low bottom should be put to the sword.
Hogan, Stringer, Briggs all got the game to get rid of the rust. At home as well.
We should be firing on all cylinders.

Will be a good indication of the mindset within the team.
I want to see us be ruthless defensively and keep them to a low score whilst piling on 20 goals ourselves. They are a rabble and are missing any half decent player they have.
They will field a dozen players with under 50 games experience

It’s a case of killer instinct, which we lacked last finals series.
No more of this “as long as we win” rubbish. We should be punishing teams that aren’t on our level or position ladder wise. That’s not being disrespectful.

Yep… this needs to be a big win. Give them nothing.
When things were reversed over 10 years ago teams dined out on us… 100+ regularly.

Our highest ever score against West Coast was 138 points (in 2022) and our biggest winning margin over the Eagles is 67 (in the 2017 semi).
While we don’t want to be overconfident and underestimate our opponents, if we are ruthless and have the killer mindset, the above records should fall. It is a great opportunity to build %, which could be quite important in determining the relative final placings.

Sounds like Keefe could be out of the side. He pretty much confirmed Ricca is coming into the side. Only real option is Keefe

It’s hard because he is 100% effort and obviously a club man.
But he has gotten to that age…

Good to see we are fielding our best forward line now. Keeffe did well but Riccardi could be a huge piece for us this year and we need to get that cohesion rolling.

The only question remaining is the sub.

I think the Stringer project is interesting. A key pillar of our game needs to be pressure on the ball.
Jake’s very good with ball in hand, but not good at getting across the ground for four quarters as part of a team defence.
This will be a watch for mine, as we have very good players who suit our preferred style in the twos (Thomas et al).

Yeah agree. Maybe a good sub is Stringer out for a McMullin or a Harvey. If he's not impacting...then sub.
I reckon we give him a few weeks though. His forward pressure numbers at the Dons last year were only behind at Jones and Cadman at ours. Not that bad. Maybe more of a narrative than truth.
Stringer’s defensive deficiencies are over hyped. His numbers compare favourably to players like Brown and on par with Toby.
The thing with F50 defensive pressure is that if you are efficient at kicking goals then you aren’t needing to put any pressure on. A bit like inside 50’s. Melbourne get high numbers cause the ball pings in and out but they are hopeless with the ball inside 50.
I’d expect Stringers defensive numbers to improve on previous years as he is playing within our system now too

... and game day thread:
Game Day - 2025 Round 4 - GWS Giants vs West Coast Eagles, Sunday 6 April, 1:10 pm ENGIE Stadium
Game day in Sydney. What's the weather like up there? Forecast has it partly cloudy but 27 C; if so, should be great conditions for our running game. 3 debutants for Eagles, no disrespect intended, but Giants need to be winning this well if we are serious.
