Game number 50 for Buckley tonight https://www.gwsgiants.com.au/news/1537657/buckley-chasing-family-bragging-rights

I understand your passion for a full time Canberra based AFL club, but I remain pessimistic about this occurring. Some of the factors include the state of our ACT finances due to the money being spent on the Trams, the need to upgrade Manuka, the rugby and soccer codes wanting a new rectangular...

Completely agree with an annual ANZAC day match in Canberra, given the location of the National War Memorial here. I acknowledge people like variety, but also agree and think we should have the same opponent in Canberra for 1 of the 3 home matches here to build up an ongoing rivalry - in the 12...

Thanks for your work in compiling this. BTW is the King Birthday Eve match between Essendon and Carlton classified as a marquee match?

With the Brisbane game tomorrow, some stats for anyone interested on the total of 61 AFL games that have ever been played in Canberra. The home teams for these games are below, with GWS hosting more than half of all AFL games played in Canberra: GWS 34 games (2012-present) North Melbourne 18...

Whilst it would have been good to have both Toby and Jesse both available to play against the Lions, if forced to pick between them, Jesse is more valuable at the moment. Jesse currently has scored 21 goals and is leading the Coleman Medal. He is also on track to become just the 3rd giant...

An analysis of the fixture leading up to our bye in the AFL website. Seems we have had a relatively easy draw so far, with the next 5 games rated the 2nd hardest fixture in the competition. R7: v Brisbane, Manuka Oval R8: v Sydney, SCG R9: v Essendon, Marvel Stadium R10: v Western Bulldogs...

Brad Scott comes to Toby’s defence. I hope his practical common sense view prevails at the Tribunal tomorrow. Scott agreed with his counterpart’s comments that Greene was innocent and suggested Wright should not have faced suspension. “We do seek clarification, very rarely, but sometimes on...

The club’s fan day on 24th for those who can make it https://www.gwsgiants.com.au/news/1532338/canberra-fan-day

To be honest, I think I did as well!! 😛

Also the 2nd best Carlton vs Giants crowd in history. Only the 44,354 crowd for last year’s crucial final home and away match was higher.

5- Josh Kelly 4- Lachie Whitfield 3- Tom Green 2- Leek Aleer 1- Jesse Hogan

Toby not his usual brilliant self today as well..also seems that Jesse’s incident with Lewis Young maybe looked at ..

Kingsley needs to do something to motivate our boys in the last quarter - doesn’t help that in addition to playing a fired up Carlton and Curnow, we are battling a vocal confident home crowd and biased incompetent umpires who are letting the crowd influence their decision making at crucial...

VFL Umpires also being influenced by the crowd..how is that a kick for Carlton :-(

Kingsley’s pick of Aleer is looking good. Aleer is leading with 10 spoils so far - more than double the next best player in this metric

6 in a row!! Our boys are on fire!

How was that not a 50 for Jesse?? Serves them right that Jesse scored anyway

Falling a bit at the last part of the first quarter - umpire bias throughout the quarter not helping either

Can’t wait for this game - promises to be an exciting one. The market has us as slight $2 underdogs, but given our ability to eke out wins under Kingsley this season, feeling optimistic! Also, all the 3 top Coleman medal contenders are playing!

1. Another thing to note is the stadium issue. League, Union and Soccer (especially if the long delayed Aleague men’s expansion team becomes a reality) want a new rectangular stadium - I just don’t think there is enough $ for an upgraded Manuka stadium and a separate rectangular stadium. I would...

Did Norths consistently state and consider themselves Tasmania’s AFL team?
