prefer we played someoene else.
its a hiding to nothing game and is unlikely to give us the hit out we want leading into rnd 1

Hopefully the team doesnt write the Giants off as easily as you blokes.

They'll be competitive and far more comfortable playing there than we will be, and will want to roll out a good effort for their ACT supporters.

Has a Cairns debacle written all over it if we're not careful.

Should be the perfect hit out.

Full hitout against the Cats this weekend before a second string side play a meaningless game against a second string team in GWS. Totally irrelevant whether we win or lose.
After this Sat, jobs done as far as praccy matches are concerned

Hopefully not another GC scenario.

Their juniors are more talented than ours, knowing Sheedy he will play his best side and highly likely we will play our kids.

So what?

If I had to choose, I'd take a game defeat at the cattery over a loss to the GWS

DO what we did versus Freo. Play some seniors in the first half to freshen them up and sub them off in the second. Our ability should be enough to get us over the line.

Last thing we would want is any silly injuries on the eve of the season to important players.

Deledio should get a quarter or a half if fit same applies to Cotch Martin Axel Jack Vickery Maric Rance. Whether first or second its up to the coaches. I'd say second when the pace and intensity of the first has subsided to ensure no silly injuries or annoying knocks.

Self preservation is the key. Use GWS as a sparring partner for our Round 1 match.
