Autopsy 2025 Round 11 - Carlton vs GWS Giants, 12.35 pm 24 May @ Marvel Stadium

[Giant Strides]

Game day, and I'm afraid that I am not optimistic. I hope I'm wrong, but the team changes seem to double down on misunderstanding the nature of our underperformance. Anyway, good luck boys, I do want you to win!


C'mon Giants!!

 

[Danny88]

I think pressure will be the determining factor

They are best when they get turnovers from midfield pressure and clearance

We are at our best when we have that forward half pressure. The ball has just bounced out of our forward half too easily this past month

 

[sydney_gws]

Any chance Aleer is the sub?
It seems we have got taller. Interesting to see how Geelong are doing better in the forward line without dangerfield, they where probably too tall with Neale, Cameron, Henry, Dangerfield in there, forcing Cameton to play sometime on wing etc.

Carlton looks pretty strong, best 8 or so players all playing. I think we can beat them though.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Am hoping Kingsley and the team will turn it around, but our recent record at Marvel is not promising, with just 1 win in the last 6 matches there. Our recent record against Carlton is also concerning with just 2 wins in the last 6 matches.

 

[Battlepants]

I imagine both team's supporters are coming into this expecting the worst and hoping for the best.

Carlton have been pretty terrible for most of this season. Would love to see us come out and make a statement in this match.

 

[Giant Strides]

Harry Rowston our sub.

FFS.

We're far too tall, and our midfield is undermanned.

What does the midfield makeup look like today?

 

[Drummond]

Harry Rowston our sub.

Can’t comprehend that. Midfield already weak, lost 2 midfielders, and the one brought in is sub.

In Kingsley we trust? But yes, am also confused about this move

 

[Orange Agent]

Looks like XOH will be playing more centre square minutes.

 

[Comedy Capers]

The AFL.app says we are missing.Paul.Kelly.

Although he would have been handy in the midfield.

 

[Giant Strides]

What does the midfield makeup look like today?

Shit.

Green, Bedford. Ward, O'Halloran, Angove and HH on the wings. Greene probably too.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

You would think that we would be properly motivated and wanting to make amends for last week’s Fremantle debacle. If nothing else, Toby’s 250th milestone game should inspire us to celebrate with a win.

 

[Land of the Giants]

If we're right mentally, none of that will matter.

 

[Drummond]

Not the ideal start.

 

[Joshawk23]

2 misses then 2 carlton goals SMD

 

[domologue]

There are some very strange choices playing out.

Rowston as sub.

Bedford on Cripps. He’s too big for him.

 

[Tenens Pila]

As usual, our dumb mistakes (this time Hogan's handball in the F50) cost us dearly.

 

[Hojuman]

Guessing the free kick count will end up;

29 - 11

 

[Hojuman]

7 goals from free kicks coming up.

[Drummond]

Nice delivery Angove! Great finish Brown!

And how cute that we’re going to have Carlton fans all day begging for running too far because Walsh rightfully got pinged for running too far.

 

[Battlepants]

Great work by Angove there, perfect kick inside 50.

Have a cracker at the watch party. It’s for the They Might Become Giants podcast… been doing them all year at the GuilDford. Give Brandon a squeeze.
