Review Round 14 2021 - GWS Giants v Carlton, 7.25pm @ Giants Stadium, Sat 19 June

[Colonial]

Good 1st half. Hopefully we can finish this off

 

[Orange Agent]

I don't think we've played that well, Carlton are just not very good. We lack a leading fwd without Hogan, Jezza used to be it, nobody else seems to do it well.

 

[JC100]

Gee Buckley, Cumming & Idun are developing into nice players. Buckley, Taylor, Cumming, Ash, Idun is the nucleus of a dominant back 6 for the next 10 years

Better than last week

 

[dlanod]

Not only does the umpire call advantage when we've stopped, but he shepherds Kelly away from Saad's shot. That's worth at least $600k pa from Carlton given what they're paying Williams.

 

[Giant Strides]

Briggs a nice mark, and good conversion. Flynn + Briggs will be a good ruck/forward combo into the future.

And I agree with the earlier comment about the backline shaping up well - Taylor/Buckley/Idun/Ash/Cumming & possibly Perryman could potentially be an outstanding backline. We do need another KPD; and in the long run an intercepting tall (possibly Cam Fleeton?) to replace Nick Haynes. (And Josh Fahey to still fit in.)

 

[Land of the Giants]

The scoreline is starting to reflect our dominance.

For all our dominance, we should be much further ahead.

 

[dlanod]

Time for our regularly scheduled fade out of a game.

 

[Big Stinky Monk]

Idun looking really good. One that we can put in the successful project basket.

What a find from Caruso and the draft team.

 

[steviewonder36]

Gone to sleep after Half time.

Carlton have a sniff. Slack arse Giants.

 

[dlanod]

These umpires really need to get a ******* clue about players coming around off their line. Miles off then, no play on call. Wouldn't have made a difference but they used to be right on this 10 rounds ago.

 

[dlanod]

Oof, lucky there. That should've been a second 50 against Harry.

 

[dlanod]

Thank christ for Greene and Finlayson. If they weren't converting every inside 50 into a goal we'd be ****ed.

 

[sydney_gws]

Should win from here. Thank God mckay missed that first attempt from 20m out in front at beginning of qtr

 

[dlanod]

Taranto desperately close to a quadruple double.

 

[sydney_gws]

Taranto desperately close to a quadruple double.

A good win. Carlton has a number of good players, haven't been thrashed at all this season

 

[Giant Strides]

Well done, boys, a solid win - as it should have been (but should have been last week too!). A good all-round team effort. Few problems still apparent.

 

[Giant Strides]

Just as an aside, I thought Matt Kennedy had a pretty solid game for them - perhaps close to their best on ground. Hope they keep him in the team & he gets another contract.

I have already booked tickets for next week's game, it was just too cold and wet for my wife to let my young son and me go)

 

[Colonial]

The Blues biggest loss since 2019.

We can be annoyed at the 3rd quarter go to sleep but with our depleted backline in shocking conditions we were able to play a good brand of footy and get a big win.

Very very happy with that.

 

[Gigantic]

Toby a class above, what a star.

12 tackles from Taranto. Overall, I thought the midfied brigade did their job tonight. And I thought our inside 50 entries were good, helped by Carlton letting Whitfield run freely.

De Boer kept Walsh quiet and even after the tag, Walsh still couldn’t get into the game.

 

[ClockworkOrange]

Just when you thought the VFL umpiring department had done everything possible to destroy the integrity of the game, along come the clowns in lime tonight.

How the ‘Dan Andrews’ does TFG get put on report for an innocuous game of handbags?

If that’s the standard, then Tom Lynch should be reported 20 times a match.

Is someone’s mate in Melbourne having a flutter on Toby getting suspended, or is it just pure malice against a player who can’t even jag a free kick when his shoulder is broken in front of multiple umps?

This is well past being a very unfunny joke.

Time for Matthew’s to register a formal complaint about the blatant targeting of TFG by the umpires with Gil and his henchmen.

according to a poster on the main board game day thread, Razor Ray was caught on mic calling Toby a Dick

Carlton paid a free kick, toby on the mark. After the Carlton player moved the ball on razor goes 'your a dick Toby' - mics picked it up

only a single poster though, can’t confirm will try to listen for it when I watch the replay.

The fact that this sounds even plausible speaks to an umpiring department whose reputation is in tatters.

No other club has their Captain treated with such complete disrespect as we do.

Just over it, time to hold the guilty accountable in VFL umpiring-land.
