Game Day Round 2 - GWS vs Melbourne, Sat 11th Apr 2.10pm at Startrack Oval

Did we get McKenna with that pick?

Yes and I'm very happy about that. He is a special talent. Just needs time

 

[captainMyCaptain]

I still think it's a win/win. Tyson is very good for them, will be a future captain and Salem is also a pretty handy sort of player as well.

Kelly for us is just pure class, so I reckon it will always be a two way win.

Often forgotten how the deal included getting pick 20 which then allowed us to do a deal with Port and get pick 14 (McCarthy)

Check it out !!!

LOL, stop the comp now!

 

[Gigantor]

I was ready to go home at half time, what a shocking first half.

But what an amazing 3rd quarter! I mean, crazy good, unbelievable turnaround.

Two fantastic snaps from the boundary within about 5 minutes of each other. 13 goals to one after half time. The difference in running and use of the footy just stood out so much.

Ok crowd of 7,760. It actually felt like more, plenty of noise during that second half. Good day out.

 

[dlanod]

Cant deny his heart or speed

No, but I know plenty of guys who've had those two who haven't made it because they can't hurt the opposition with their disposal.

Would love to have been there.

And to top of a great day the pies are getting smashed......I can hear Eddiot now...too many concessions ... the academies.....oh the joy

 

[Bogan Juniors]

Wilson may have just stolen Hamptons spot for a while as well

Eddiot.... perfect name

 

[Giant Pete]

Tomlinsons toe injury doesn't look good. Sounds like he'll be out for a while. Stewart seems the likely replacement

 

[_GT_]

If Tomlinson is out, then I wouldn't be surprised if they go with Downie or Sauce. Downie is improving rapidly, and offers a bit at both ends of the ground.

 

[Connoisseur]

Well done Giants! It's great to see the 2nd team in Sydney doing well.

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

I was pretty impressed with Downie in today's NEAFL game. I am an unabashed fan of Sauce and have always had him ahead of Downie, but with Sauce not playing today as the traveling emergency, and Downie putting in a pretty good effort, he might just skip ahead of him in calculations.

Lobb did ok too.

Stewart did not.

Yeah, good intel from the NEAFL mate. Firms Downie in my mind if we need to make a change for next week.

 

[gee whiz giant]

Just like to put in a good word today for the Canberra crowd, the support was passionate and vocal.
This reiterates that Canberra is a vital component of the Giants experience. A great game to be at.

 

[Big dog 25]

I still think we need to improve our stoppage clearances our centre clearances are very good if we can get more people to help the likes of Griffen at the stoppage we will be a really dangerous midfield unit

 

[Dwhale44]

impressive win guys, any news on Tomlinsons injury?

And more posters on bigfooty.
This signals the building of the fan base.
2016=2017=and onwards,the Giants are going to the finals.

 

[Hojuman]

Well done Giants.

Young squad. Plenty of talent. Good to watch.

Best of luck going forward

Good game by Greene, was everywhere.

 

[Gigantor]

Good game by Greene, was everywhere.

Greene was one of many players who were poor in the first half, turning it over, etc - but who were different players after the half time break.

Another was McCarthy. I thought he was poor in the first half but killed them in the second.

 

[Andre the Giant]

Only knock on Greene is goal kicking. It's always been a bit average but I think right now the kid has lost all confidence.

It's a shame because he runs and works so hard. If he was an elite kick he'd be All Australian material.

It's one thing that is very hard to improve, footy players really need to be taught this very young or they end up enigmatic like Greene.

Still..love his effort

He tried to back himself on the fifty a couple of times, but was just too far out. He needs to accept he doesn't have that penetration from a set shot. The team also need to recognise this and provide a lay off option or short lead. Failing that, try to put it to the topofthe square.
