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...
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...

The team made their debut in the inaugural 2011-12 season. The team mirrored our AFL team's start to existence with poor performances in its...
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...

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...

As pointed out in the article, Philthy is racking up mentions in MRP discussions at a right clip. Is this just bad luck? Or, is he getting under the opposition's skin more than Buggster ever did? Is it that he is...
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?
The guy has a massive tank - we all know this. He has size, good pace and can take a grab. He does need work on his...
One of our young fellas said something post game that made me stop and think a bit about who our on field leaders are. Whitfield stated that in that second half, the mid field talk stopped...wow. When we get blow out games like this weekend, it is clear that we lack leadership in at least two...
I ordered an ANZAC Gernsey the other week, and it finally came today. It is part of a growing collection of Giants gear. This is probably my favourite item so far.
What is you favourite piece of Giants Fan Gear? Anything unique out there?
So, we have built a talented list, and we have have a young and promising coaching group. The club is is on the verge of regular on-field success. So, what is our playing style? What will emerge as a signature game-day strategy?
We have the toughness to play 'unsociable' footy. We have the...
Here's to a big 2015! I think we can expect more improvements and more wins. We can dare hope for some big scalps again and maybe, with some good luck, we'll see some finals action. It would be nice to get close at least.
Go Giants!
Go 2015!
