Game Day GWS Giants v Western Bulldogs, Finals Week 1 - 15:20 AEST, Sep 07, 2019

[gimp!]

If the dogs were actually any good they would of beaten gold Coast and finished higher then 7th.
Glad I don't have to listen to the media keep talking up these pretenders.

The inequity of the draw had exposed this final series. There are teams in the finals that just don't deserve to be there.

*would have

Imagine turning up at 3/4 time to watch your team get smashed like that.

Now that’s a campaigner of a day.

Sure is haha

 

[Giant Pete]

The crowd was great. Won’t be too many Doggies supporters making the road trip in future!

Overall our season was not great for consistency, the upside of it was the improvement over the second half. Losses to Carlton, GCS, Saints and North cost us a possible top 4 spot.

However in reality there are too many players lacking experience to carry the task of pushing finals

Should be plenty of room for both the Giants’ supporters to watch on at the ground then.

 

[DAlembert]

Good to see the Giants win . As others have said Bulldogs were pumped up large and copped a good old thumping. Umpires seemed hell bent on keeping them in it but with the big Mummy leading the way. And well done to the Mummy he adjusted after the first half and was very influential. Some of the free kicks against him were laughable. They should be competitive against the Lions or Tigers. Not sure they can beat Tigers however.

How long has it been since your team won a final? At least we've won one more recently than your mob.

About as long as yours. What 10-15 years? You’ve been a basket case the last decade.

 

[Xtreme]

Up the mighty GIANTS!!!!!

Avenged the 2016 loss. Hope they go far!

GWS was beating Dogs at half time in round 22 then completely stopped in the second half. GWS's ladder position was already set at that point. I wonder what they could have had to gain from tanking the second half in that game.

Their opponent wasn't. At that stage they roll the Dogs they likely get Essendon first week.

 

[Adz]

A performance that will haunt Bont for a long time.

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

No offence but the GWS song>>>>>>>>>>>>>the Eagles song

What, Hotel California?

 

[Substance]

Giants were actually brilliant. Best game they have played. That's all I got to say.

Not sure the exact percentage but there was a lot of orange there today. We were absolutely louder than your lot.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

GWS were absolutely brilliant. Credit to them. They have a lot more quality at either end of the ground and then killed us on the inside as well.

Credit to them. No reason they can't cause more damage this September.

 

[KevDawg]

Lots of love for a bloke that dumped his mates and club, to try and score a cheap flag with a group of android draft picks he had no connection to.

I really don’t get why he should be pitied?

Maybe he’s just a nice bloke that’s played his heart out for the Tigers and the Giants, and might just deserve to be clapped off the ground.

 

[KevDawg]

No sound at the pub but did gws just retire lids after a finals win?

He did another calf. He’s retiring at the end of the season so that’s it for Lids, sadly. Great man, great player.

 

[KevDawg]

He was poor today. Tomlinson will come in for him anyway next week

Blew another calf.

 

[FreoRicci]

Blew another calf.

Just found out. That explains it. Poor guy. When did that happen?

 

[KevDawg]

Just found out. That explains it. Poor guy. When did that happen?

I was at the ground and didn’t realise during the game. We thought he was chaired off because he’d already announced he’d retire at the end of this season, so this would be the last home game in front of home fans. Instead, it was because of the calf and he won’t play next week.
Good luck for 2020.

Most of ours were stuck sitting on a plane at Tullamarine.

 

[KevDawg]

Most of ours were stuck sitting on a plane at Tullamarine.

Is that true? Due to the winds?
Unlucky.

Most? Please

That’s sad. Nothing was sad on the coverage either. The fact he tried to play through it. Gutsy.
Never was 100% for you guys. Tried and tried but his body just couldn’t do it.

To their credit the Dogs supporters did stick it out to the very end. Sitting thru that last quarter after you've spent a decent
chunk of your hard earned making the trek interstate can't have been much fun. Been there a few times myself with the Swans.
The game reminded me a bit of the 2016 QF at ANZ with GWS bringing the "unsociable footy" thing big time. When they
all show up like they did today GWS are a formidable team, with a lot of gun players with plenty of finals experience.
