Shows the class on the team to get the win. but it does feed into the narrative that the majority of players pick and chose when to put in effort which should be a non negotiable and until Kingsley and co work out how to get that out of the team they will struggle
Mids in the 2nd half stood up...
A sign of the professionalism of the club and players is Perryman does a hamstring after 4 minutes on the ground. Not stretching and warming up enough prior to going on. Callaghan on the home ground sprays a shot 25 metres out on a slight angle
Coaches and support staff not putting in the...
Should be a good game and looking for the Giants mids to get on top as the critical factor with enough class and grunt to allow the running wingers and half backs to find the targets inside 50. Will be interesting to see how Flynn rucks v ROB with Flynn only having a quarter in the pre season...
Unlucky for Kennedy and Stone (Likely 1 to be the sub) but well done to the 22. Surprised Hamilton over Fahey in the 26 but most here rate him and he just needs opportunity
Emergencies: Adam Kennedy, Conor Stone, Jack Buckley, Cooper Hamilton
FB: Connor Idun, Sam Taylor, Isaac Cumming

I do agree that the Giants defence is better than the Crows and you would say the Crows forwards are better than the Giants by a good margin, having fit small forwards helps so i think they cancel each other out in some way although i see the key as the midfield battle and I do think the Giants...
Hard to pick the winner and with both teams having wins in the pre-season and looking good in the process I am more pessimistic than others on this board and if you look at the different thirds of the ground
Forwards Crows
Mids Giants
Defenders Giants
Ruck Crows
So it will be up to the Giants...
Good to get the win from the practice game but I dont think supporters should get too far ahead as I see too many holes in the performance to think the team will be able to challenge for finals
Preuss is a liability, although he has the strength to match most rucks his mobility and discipline...
I will wait until confirmation re any injury for Callaghan and hopefully it is only minor but with the history of the club in dealing with any kind of injury be it soft tissue, collision or rehab the club will need to seriously look at a different allocation of resources into medical and also...
Good to get Greens signature before the season starts although by the sounds of it not the hardest to get but still well done to those involved and he has 4 years to get to be the #1 inside mid in the game
Still 3 to go and not sure how they play out but I think Finn will be next with likely the...

Will Shaw stays with the club which is good and a few signings have been announced on the Giants social media
Interesting it seems to be a different strategy for the reserves this year with not so many overagers staying...
Another signed for the VFL, Jaelen Pavlidis. Played a VFL game for the club last year so must have impressed also a joint winner at the Western Jets last year I think

Hopefully the schedule is more friendly to not having to double up on staff due to games at the same time but either different grounds or even states and also for the supporters
When the reserves start the season at 2 in Melbourne v the Bombers the AFL team are in Perth with a 6.20 start time so...
