Autopsy 2023 Round 3 – GWS Giants vs Carlton, Saturday, April 1, 4.35PM AEST, @Giants Stadium

[Giant Strides]

Gameday. Seems like the weather is again conspiring against the club.


Hopefully the return of Lachie & Chook can help the midfield run. The biggest improvement though needs to be giving a 4-quarter effort, not dropping off in a quarter or half and allowing a massive run of goals against us. Carlton are tipped as top 4, we're not, so even at home they should win ... but can we disrupt them and sneak a win? All lines on the field need to fire today; any deficiencies will undermine our ability to win.

Let's go GIANTS!

 

[Simmofreo]

I think wet weather plays into our hands a bit, as I makes Carlton’s big forwards slightly less effective.

If the guys have the belief they can win this game. Anyone can be beaten this year, it has been shown already

Let’s go.

I agree that the weather works in our favour. I'm expecting a Carlton win today, but if we can keep surging the ball forward, playing that "tsunami" style that Kingsley wants we could scrap our way to a win in the wet.

 

[Giant Pete]

I hope we have late change and put Riccardi as Sub. Too wet to play that many talls

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Carlton were always going to be the toughest opponent we were going to face in the first 5 rounds. Their forwards and their recent form make them the favourites. However, it is in our home ground, and will be interesting what Kingsley can conjure up after our defeat last week in Perth.

 

[Giant Gutsache]

I wonder if they’re planning to sound the tsunami warning before the bounce again.
Not a fan of it myself. Be interesting to hear what the players think.
Tsunami or not I expect the Blues to be a bit too slick today. Be good to see their small forwards contained and better distribution from our mids to the outside. Most of all I want to see the ball moved inside 50 with some creativity and urgency.

 

[Land of the Giants]

We can win this if we want to.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Stone our sub

 

[Simmofreo]

We can win this if we want to.

I agree, we have the team to do it . I re-watched the West Coast game and I tell you what we missed so many opportunities. Should’ve won that game.

Oh, and by the way, everyone was talking up the Roos, and how they were undefeated. Oh, and now they have lost to the bottom side.

Funny game this, AFL

Mate, that’s a bit harsh

It’s not his fault he’s the sub . No need to stone him for it.

Sorry

first time in how long have they not fielded an ex-giant against us?

 

[Land of the Giants]

Heaps of Carlton supporters here...

 

[Land of the Giants]

How about that, they've opened the top deck of the Cumberland Stand, arguably the best seats in the house, to b***** Carlton supporters.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Good start by Jesse!

Send 'em home weeping

Riccardi with a new low stuffing up that goal. I think this is his last AFL game for a while.

 

[sydney_gws]

Good goal from Kelly. I think we win this game provided we don't stuff it up. Blues aren't great.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Crowd looks ok today based on the tv visuals?

Hopefully he does well enough in the VFL for somebody to make us a decent offer trade wise. Probably a future 3rd is the best we could get.
