Every year every club enters the draft with high hopes of a super haul - rarely does that happen. There’s always a bust or two, you just hope it’s not a high pick you’ve wasted - but there are also diamonds in the rough and outright champions taken further down after every club (including your...

Have at it….
I know... it’s early... but I had a bit of time on my hands...
So here are some milestones that might (in some cases should) be hit in the next season (with the possibility of 6 new Life Members)
Career Games milestones:
200
Shane Mumford (192) needs 8
Matt De Boer (187) needs 13
150

On tomorrow night - being live-streamed
Predictions?
Discussion...
I think there’s three in it.
Jezza
Haynes
Taranto
Nobody has won it twice (Jez could be the first)
Coach’s award?
NEAFL player?
Academy Player?
Other awards?
We all know the story - 4 years at the Dogs for 10 games - thrown in at the last minute, even though we already had Cal Ward, as an extra uncontracted player, and 14 winless games in two years with the basket-case us. A role as a development coach and captain of the NEAFL side for two years...
Our goal kicking lately has been.... hmmm.... not so good? So who are our best in front of the big sticks and how do they actually compare?
Who do you want to be kicking after the siren for the win? In whose hand do you not want it?
establishing some benchmarks...
The greats
Lockett 1360 goals...
What if?....
It’s an interesting question; philosophical, practical, hypothetical; and never to be answered definitively (and therefore perfect for a thread)
What if...
...in 2013, when we had the first two picks in the draft and could read the names in whatever order we wished... the names...
ok, we can probably stop using the Geelong preview thread for finals discussion and start with this one.
Here's how it works...
So Adelaide away in week one and probably Port at home in week 2 (much better than the swans I reckon) then away to Geelong in the third week (hopefully at the MCG...
We have a tv thread, a movies thread so here is the music thread.....
What's the last couple of albums you bought? (do you still buy albums?)
What are you listening to at the moment?
Who was the last band/artist you saw live?
Season kicks off in the curtain raiser at Spotless from 12:55 on Saturday.

in our sixth season it seems that there will be more milestones than ever to be celebrated by our players, so this thread will count them down.
100 Games:
Tobes - on 98 - needs 2 ✅
Philthy - on 97 - needs 3 ✅
Dev - on 93 - needs 7 ✅
Jezza - on 93 - needs 7 ✅
Dyl - on 87 - needs 13✅
Cogs - on...
great move. Indigenous Round headlined by Dreamtime at the G - always Richmond v Essendon. Anzac always Collingwood v Essendon. Now the focus and marquee game in the Multicultural Round will be ours, along with the associated festival.
Multicultural Round at Home in Western Sydney
GIANTS Media...
5: Dal Pos: lead the tackle count, top three for disposals. Liked her game
4: Collier: My girl, showed poise in tight places
3: Lawton: got better and better throughout the game.
2: Barr: can see why she went no.1
1: Bibby: was really surprised and pleased with her transition from basketball...
SELECTION: Priority Player Selection
STATE: NSW
CLUB: UNSW-ES Stingrays
At just 21, Maddy Collier made history as the first NSW/ACT player to be selected for the GIANTS’ women’s team. Originally from Nowra, Collier burst onto the local football scene when she won the AFL Sydney Women’s Premier...

Codie Briggs is originally from Victoria and comes from a large Indigenous family. Her uncle is the highly decorated West Coast Eagles champion and Indigenous leader David Wirrpanda. Briggs is a pastry chef by trade and lives in Quakers...
Much has been written and said about the comparison between us and the Gold Coast and this thread is another of those examinations. With Pearce Hanley choosing the GC this week, with Deledio choosing us there has also been much talk of "destination clubs".
I decided to look at who each club has...
Figure we can close off the game day thread from last week and move the discussion of who replaces Stevie J into this one.
And what happens if whoever comes in has a blinder.
Candidates:
Possibles: Palmer WHE Reid
Left Field: Kenners
Long Shots: Kennedy (M)
Even longer out of the blue...
it's a pity you can only have one prefix in a thread title because I wanted to Toast and Roast.
Firstly congrats to the boys who were chosen in the 40 man squad
Heater
Cogs
Sculls
Uncle Toby
Cement Head
Great work from the boys - all worthy of their spot.
But seriously.... No Zac Williams? A...
bit of a discussion at the end of the Dogs game day thread about crowd numbers after I pointed out the Dogs game was our 10th highest at Spotless and the question was posed by isamed..
So I did and thought it might open up further discussions (and give opposition supporters more places to...
Be good to be back home again. The Coast aren't traveling all that well. We seem to be up and about (and now it seems able to "win ugly"
Davis out.
Mohr the emergency this week, so probably pole position to come in.
Thoughts?
I don't play fantasy football myself, but there has been a number of posts clogging up a variety of threads from opposition supporters that usually begin with the statement
Well now there is a fantasy thread created. It is this one
Please don't pollute other threads with fantasy questions...
