Autopsy 2023 Round 6 – GWS Giants vs Brisbane Lions, Saturday, April 22, 4.35PM AEST, Manuka Oval

[Giant Strides]

Saturday is gameday in the nation's capital. Should be a fine day, although cooling down for this later afternoon match. Can the Giants defy the odds and defeat the high flying Lions? Whilst it seems unlikely, we can only hope that we stitch together a 22-man, 4-quarter effort - which is what will be required to win.


Let's go GIANTS!

 

[MelbourneGWS]

It’s going to be a tough game to win, but hope springs eternal. The market also has us as rank outsiders at $3.35 (Brisbane is $1.30). Hopefully everything clicks for us today!

 

[Drummond]

Lloyd out, Angwin in, Kennedy sub.

I rate Angwin, so I’m happy to see him come in.

 

[JC100]

Lloyd out, Angwin in, Kennedy sub.

I rate Angwin, so I’m happy to see him come in.

Likewise. Super keen to see him play. Potential to be that pure wingman that we have been searching for with good disposal into the forward 50.

 

[Andre the Giant]

Lloyd out, Angwin in, Kennedy sub.

I rate Angwin, so I’m happy to see him come in.

Why do you rate Angwin?

From what I’ve seen he’s not agile, he’s not strong and he doesn’t seem to have any real weapons other than endurance? I hope I’m wrong but he seems a very vanilla player?

Whitfield's kicking has absolutely gone to pot.

Good Lordy. Brisbane so clean:

Looking down the barrel and only half way through the first:

All their hand passes and kicks go to their targets. Ours to the opposition.

Whitfield's kicking has absolutely gone to pot.

I agree. Maybe we stuffed up by not having surgery earlier rather than playing through his ankle problem last year. He was great for us in 2021.

 

[domologue]

Whitfield's kicking has absolutely gone to pot.

he had 9 turnovers last week...

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Not looking good for us..we have to lift in the second quarter or it maybe all over by half time

 

[Section226]

Daniels could have done with another week being 'managed' the day he's having.

Edit: he's still 'off' with the disposals but at least he kicks straight.

Thankfully we have lifted. A good 2nd qtr so far.

 

[Gigantic]

XOH’s kicking at the sticks better than his field kicking by a country mile

 

[Section226]

O'Halloran finding his spot from the attacking side of the centre square to about 40m out from goal.

Just want that consistency week in week out.

 

[sydney_gws]

We are playing better than last week, but a better opponent this week.

 

[Simmofreo]

Great crowd and majority giants fans. Need to keep it close to keep the excitement. A flogging would hurt

[Section226]

Bluddy hell - ANOTHER SOFT TISSUE INJURY.

Sack the damn fitness and conditioning team.

If there was a player we couldn't lose, it was Taylor.

 

[Gigantic]

Defense falling apart now that Taylor is off

 

[MelbourneGWS]

WHY..Why did it have to be Taylor?

 

[Section226]

Gee there's some rough decisions going against the Giants.

13-8 to Brisbane.

And ump no.15 is the chief Giants' hater.

 

[domologue]

Thoughts on if that final tackle was dangerous?

Looked kinda simulated to me, like he stopped resisting and lets himself get slung?
