Unofficial Preview Round 1 Vs Giants - Saturday March 16

[Amicalola]

Also, I think it's very reasonable to feel optimistic about this season, but also expect to rt done here by 5-10 goals. GWS away (when they've played and we haven't) is probably our toughest game for the year, realistically.

14 players with under 50 games experience, we are going into the game with very few experienced players which may explain why Shiels gets a game ahead of Phillips.

And I have more confidence in this side than any side we’ve put out over the last few years.

Fun fact: we're the only Vic club not playing in Vic in Round 1.

Just a coincidence I'm sure. Like all the other coincidences over the last 15 years.

I just saw Blink 182 at Rod Laver two weeks ago and had a great time. They put on a good show.

Did they say anything about alien disclosure?

Oh my, yes.

 

[King Corey]

Oh my, yes.

Go on..

The same type of coincidence that has seen Collingwood play their first game of the year interstate only three times in the last 34 years.

Agree it's not a coincidence, but we make it very difficult as a club to argue unfair treatment when we're playing over a 3rd of our games interstate by choice...

Yeah, it actually looks like a good side with the potential to become a great side, but the lack of experience and the number of 18–21-year-olds (there are 7) means there will be patches of inconsistent play during the game.

This game is going to be the first of 23 emotional rollercoaster rides this season, they will be exciting to watch, but at times also frustrating.

Who's most likely to start sub from that squad? Sad if Laz doesn't get a starting position after that preseason.

Slightly underdone Ford who's on the fringe, or the ever versatile Shiels. Shiels probably starts though as he's the ONLY bloke on our team with 150+ games and is a genuine leader to boot.

 

[travelli]

Oh my, yes.

I can take the band or leave them, but I'm a fan of the aliens!

Without Phillips or Greenwood in the squad, surely Powell and Lazzaro are starters.

 

[TheKanga]

Oh my, yes.

Aliens Exist

Meh we're not alone shifting home games though.

Ford l think...he's still needs a run and can be a good impact player..

My ticket for General Admission was $181

What a missed opportunity that price was.

I'm trying to think of the fun missed opportunity my $295 Pearl Jam tickets are.

Well I agree, obviously it is ridiculous that we have this more often than any other team - but the fact remains that we sell more games than everyone except Hawthorn year in year out.

Hawthorn get a dream run with replacement games compared to us. They can just walk up to the G for them. We have to scavenge for one of the 20 allocated seats v * at Marvel.

Maybe sleevo for sub. I’ve said all pre season he is the perfect sub as he only really plays a qrt of great footy.

But what if his best quarter is the 1st but he doesn't come on until the last???

We have to sell games for to sustain ourselves financially due to having a smaller supporter base and no pokies. Under the competition-enhancing equalisation approach that should result in more support from HQ not less.
