    Injury ACL epidemic- Is it time to seriously question the club's approach?

    There are a few in the media beginning to question the Giants high ACL injury toll. We can add last couple of years with ankle injuries too. I now wonder myself what is going on. This looks like more than bad luck to me. Are grounds in Sydney hold too much friction and causing players to stop...

    Opinion Scully is a two way running weapon and should stay a mid

    on the back of some observations by Raymann, it maybe that we are considering move forward for Scully. I cannot believe we would actually go with this, certainly not in the same way we moved Greene forward. To me it just doesn't make any sense when we have a number of forward options other than...

    Autopsy Forward fifty defence

    With Reid doing his hammy, Toby likely to go for a week or two and SJ slowing down, our forward structure is going to be tested a bit more. We have been critical of how easy the ball is coming out of our forward line. So, what are we going to do about it given we will be down on personnel? The...

    Opinion Membership Base v Premiership

    Sometimes I am conflicted when it comes to what I want more: a premiership early in the piece, or a strong membership base from which to launch sustained success as a club. I reckon we can achieve both, but it asked: What would you chose between a premiership and 30k in members by end 2019? I'd...

    Opinion Where to play Tommo the tank engine?

    Tomlinson. If you had the call, where do you play him at AFL level. Say you are at Carlton and eyeing him off? Do you consider he fills a utility role, high forward, mid or back?
