GIANTS Secure Fourth Consecutive VFL Win

The GIANTS have continued their strong start to the VFL season.

The GIANTS have continued their strong VFL form, defeating Sandringham by 27 points at GIANTS Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Matt Flynn, Toby McMullin, Daniel Lloyd, Josh Fahey and Harry Rowston all impressed for the GIANTS as they held off a spirited Sandringham side to record a 12.15 (87) to 9.6 (60) win.

Defender Fahey continued his strong form, registering a game-high 43 disposals playing on the wing and across half-back. Flynn responded well to being omitted last week, registering 21 disposals and two goals, with Rowston also pushing for a senior recall after another strong display in the midfield.

“It arguably our most pleasing win of the year so far,” GIANTS VFL coach Wayne Cripps said. “Our balance between the offensive work, defensive work and contested work was great, it was a really impressive performance from the boys.”

AFL Listed Players:

1. Phil Davis

9 disposals, 5 marks

Once again, his leadership down back was great, he’s crucial in getting us organised and helping us hold our structure behind the ball. Unfortunately, he suffered a calf injury in the second quarter, and he’ll spend the next few weeks sidelined.

24. Harry Rowston

27 disposals, 8 tackles

It was the type of performance we’ve become accustomed to. He led the way at the stoppages and his ability to spread from the contest is only getting better. He’s having a big impact at VFL level.

25. Lachlan Keeffe

13 disposals, 4 marks

He’s just so reliable every week. Once again, he had a great balance between his offensive and defensive work.

30. Matt Flynn

2 goals, 21 disposals, 32 hit-outs

He responded really well after dropping back to VFL level this week. He led the way in the ruck against AFL opposition and I thought his ability to take marks and push forward and convert was crucial.

31. Toby McMullin

2 goals, 17 disposals

Probably his best game in the orange and charcoal. After his matchwinner against Collingwood last week he against showcased his speed and power and he’s getting more confident each week.

34. Josh Fahey

43 disposals, 14 marks

Once again did a great job in what he does best and that’s finding the ball. It was another really big step forward for him.

35. Max Gruzewski

7 disposals, 3 marks

Max battled hard against AFL quality defenders, showcasing glimpses of why we drafted him.

38. Daniel Lloyd

2 goals, 25 disposals

Another who impressed after dropping down from the AFL. He bought great leadership and direction for our young group and had plenty of the ball. He showed why he’s been playing at AFL level this year.

41. Nick Madden

7 hit-outs, 9 disposals

It was a great effort from him. His ability to compete and his follow up work on the ground is beyond where we’d expect it to be so early into his return.

42. Jason Gillbee

23 disposals, 7 marks

Two weeks in a row he’s had a big impact on the wing. He’s getting better with his decision making and execution.

45. Wade Derksen

3 goals, 9 marks, 15 disposals

Another solid game from Wade this week. His contested work was great and he’s growing in confidence each week. He’s still learning what it takes to be a key forward, but it was another big step forward.

Stone back. Interesting. Kid is a good athlete… from what I’ve seen he is way too reactive to make it at the top level.

VFL boys got belted in the middle and lack of possession led to few scoring opportunities.
Cadman very quiet, just a behind. Probably as a result of poor supply and perhaps loss of touch.

So look likes Cadman will again be in the VFL next week again? On a positive note, even with this loss we are 6-4 and are just hanging on to the 9th finals spot with 8 games left in the season.
