Autopsy 2023 Round 21 – GWS Giants v Sydney Swans, Saturday August 5, 7.30pm AEST, Giants Stadium

[Giant Strides]

Derby XXVI and yet another important game for GWS. There's been nothing easy for the team this year, but so far, they've responded well. Hopefully they can continue at home tonight against our cross-town rivals. Looks like a bit of weather is likely - hopefully only light if it does rain - so it spoils neither the crowd turnout nor the game itself. It's pretty simple for GWS - don't be complacent, come out hard in the first quarter, and play the way we have been for Q2-4.

And win!




C'mon GIANTS!

Come out hard from the 1st quarter and we have the talent and quality to get it done.
Let’s stop giving these head starts.

 

[BarryAglett]

Fair to say that the weather conditions need to be considered.
The ground will be greasy at best. We have a tallish team.
Contested ball will be vital.
Tactics will be very interesting.

Feel like the weather could play a significant role in this game. Our team is considerably taller than the swans and wet weather should be to their advantage. I also just feel like our play style just works a lot better when it's dry and we're able to link up cleanly through the middle. Hopefully the rain holds off until after the match or at the very least remains light.

We should win but not sure if the predicted wet weather will adversely impact on us more. The market has us firm $1.60 favourites (South Melbourne is $2.30). With us already on a club record 7 consecutive wins, let’s hope we celebrate Hayne’s 200th milestone with a win. Go Giants

Dry at the moment, and TBH doesn't really feel like it's about to rain.

No wind and everything reasonably dry at the moment.

Solid numbers for both red and orange. There are numbers building in every section.

If you're still in traffic and not pre booked parking, go straight to P5. P1 and P6 both turning cars away
