Fasalo has to kick goals to be effective and hopefully the new rules with 6 on 6 will suit him as he is a strong mark for his inches and capable on the deck.
He wont give much defensive pressure but if he kicks 2-3 goals and can be part of another couple then he has probably done his job.

Agree with Fly on Gibbons.....is a midfielder in the main but has shown in the JLT games he is a smart footballer who can also play forward and if you ever watched him play for Willy he would drift forward take the odd mark through better judgement and does apply pressure by laying some good tackles.
He will take a turn in the midfield when we need a change too but with our midfield batting deeper I dont expect him to get a lot of minutes yet..

Gibbons will put his head over the ball and contest well....with players like Garlett and Cuningham you are never sure what you are getting on the day and how switched on they are..

Hopefully he will be overawed with the whole thing being it will be the biggest crowd he has ever played in front of. I think he will kick 1.3 ... fingers crossed Big Grin

If Fasolo plays tomorrow as reported then I'd think Polson probably misses out. For mine Garlett didn't show much in the JLT games but probably keeps his spot by virtue of his pace...something we don't have much of coming out of the backline.

Agree.....with his track record vs us and all the hype around him he was always going to play even if he was/is underdone.
If the ball is down our forward line more then he wont be a factor......

I expect a full on commitment as this will chart what the recruiting over summer was all about.

That much is pretty obvious.  I don't expect a win but I do demand some decent coaching

Too much is riding on anything less.

Well done Sam Walsh Smile Smile

Yet he only started full contact training 2 weeks ago.....I think it evidences how desperate Dimma is...especiallly with the other outs.

Very very risky. For Lynch's future as much as anything.

Plenty of luck and bad defensive teamwork in that lot...

Finals, then 4 in a row!

To be fair to Lynch, it'll be similar to McGovern for us.....it'll take a bit of time to gel with the other forwards. McGovern won't be wanting to fly for pack marks and competing against Curnow and McKay in the air....same for Lynch and Reiwoldt...but I'd assume Reiwoldt will push up the ground a bit more and Lynch will work out of the goalsquare and on the lead. He flogged Jones the last time they played on each other and if he gets off the leash again here we're in trouble.

Just as they'll be in trouble if Big H or Charlie get off the leash.

Alex Rance - 194cm, 95kg
Astbury  - 195cm, 96kg

Charlie - 194cm, 91kg  (but the best athlete by far....and aerialist)
Big H - 200cm, 95kg.

Add in wing span and someone is conceding a lot of height against a bloke who can mark and run.

So who gets the Gov? Grimes presumably.

Again, if we win the midfield, Lynch won't get off the leash and more than likely one of our forwards will.
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Rance and Astbury won't fly against Harry so height doesn't matter. They'll do what they do best, body him off line as he's preparing to jump at the ball. He needs to be leading up hard at the ball so they can't do their usual tricks
