Autopsy 2023 Round 12 – GWS Giants vs Richmond, Sunday, June 4, 1.10PM AEST, @Giants Stadium

[Giant Strides]

OK Sydneysiders, what's the weather doing in Sydney today? From 1 pm there's only a 5% chance of rain according to the forecast, but 20% before then - so it could be a wet track. A dry track would give us the opportunity to continue implementing Adam Kingsley

, Twice we've lost when the opposition's best midfielder has gotten off the leash: against Carlton (Cripps) and Bulldogs (Bont), so we do need to put some attention on our former player. I'm still unsure where HH will play today - despite being named forward, we have 4 KPFs - and his intercepting prowess may be valuable against Tigers. Or AK might employ him in a swing role.

This is our best chance to win back-to-back games this year, so hopefully the team is up and about. Go GIANTS!

Think we have a good chance to win. We should be positive after our great win away at the Cattery, and have won the last 4 matches against Richmond at Giants Stadium. The market has us as slight favourites - we are $1.80 to win vs Richmond who are $2.00.

Will also be interesting to see if we can get our first 10,000 crowd at Giants stadium since our September 2019 final vs the Bulldogs.

 

[PaythePerryman]

Bit wet out. Could be a scrap

 

[Colonial]

Lots of sand on the field judging by the VFL.

 

[Fletched]

Must win for the giants to keep finals hope alive

 

[Colonial]

 

[dazdoggy]

Anyone at the game? Where is Himmelberg warming up? tx

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Could be the tv angle, but crowd doesn’t look that great?

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Oh Cogs..should have kicked that

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Disappointing first quarter - Richmond just had their best quarter of the season against us.

 

[Giant Pete]

That was s**t pressure from our midfield the whole quarter.
And Ash’s turnovers just kill us.
Trade him.

 

[domologue]

Back line is a bit of a shambles, Whitfield is having a go at Himmel for being out of position a lot.

Also, how is our midfield getting this smashed.

some straight up & down lazy football.

where is the manic pressure from last week?

getting hammered & we deserve it

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Back in the game now after the dismal first quarter.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Daniels injured

 

[Colonial]

Hmmm

 

[Colonial]

Greene getting no love.

 

[sydney_gws]

A better qtr, but they continue to get some easy goals. I think we activate our sub pretty early today.

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

better quarter
wasteful in front

that last mark for the goal after the siren? I was standing right next to where it was kicked from and was touched - mark should never have been paid.

 

[mau5trap]

how often do we concede a goal right on halftime? would love a stat on that

 

[BarryAglett]

Umps missing the manhandling of our forwards. Pressure much better that quarter. Ward and Finn really driving the toughness.

 

[domologue]

Ash wasn’t even looking in that contest….

Callum Brown is some kind of athlete, he never seems to be out of breath, nice player.

Ash gets heaps of it and does some important stuff but his weakness is his footy IQ. He has a lack of awareness and it’s often costly.

Callaghan and Briggs coming along lovely. RE-SIGN Briggs!!

 

[Colonial]

We are so stupid at times

 

[MelbourneGWS]

We really need to win games like this. We have the skills and the ability. Next week it is Norths away and then Freo home before we get the bye
