Bloody cogs injured again

 

[Colonial]

Isn’t it a Concussion. He will be back for finals.

Like clock work. Think it's a risk just playing him in the first final now no matter how well he recovers. Unfortunately Kelly / Daniels is in the same boat

Yeah, that's not really a fair cop!

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Lachie Ash are you for real?

I know he can be frustrating but he still overall does more good than bad. He is one of just 4 Giants who have played all 23 of our games this year, so presuming Kingsley and the coaching staff are happy with his performances

Cogs misses next week. Not ideal

You think we need him for the bye?

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Cogs misses next week. Not ideal

But that still means he can play the finals?

Nas the new protected species...

 

[Drummond]

So NWM is a protected species now I see.

Jinx.

 

[Land of the Giants]

I think Taylor's been taken to the rooms.

NWM and Daicos are the new untouchables. If it was Toby however, it’s open season

 

[norway blue]

Have an orange Giants. Better come out.

 

[domologue]

Classic Saints.

Dead rubber for them (actually better to lose at this point in the season), and they play like they actually care.

Then finally discover that they can apply pressure?!

Time to knuckle down Giants. Bit of grit is going to be required.

 

[Colonial]

Maybe we want to play away all finals
Be the road warriors from 2023.

Apologies my bad

 

[Colonial]

Apologies my bad

Haha all good

 

[norway blue]

Haha all good

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Bit shell shocked by the half time score. Never thought we would be trailing, albeit by 1 point, at half time - especially after our superb start. This is our last game before the finals, and we should have never let St Kilda back into the game. If we can’t deal with St Kilda, how are we going to deal with Adelaide, Geelong Brisbane (or even the Bulldogs assuming we both make the grand final)? Disappointing first half

Agree Melbourne GWS. Saints been good last month and ladder position doesn’t tell the full story. Second half to come for the Giants. Should win.

The wind is a factor, probably a 2 goal breeze.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

At least we are not losing by 100+ points, and will play finals even if we lose. With 5 players yet to come back for the finals, and a week of intense review and preparation, there’s still life and hope for our team.

 

[Land of the Giants]

I'm sure Kingsley had some soothing words for them.

Dont Laugh. If we lose we end up on 15 wins. If the bulldogs beat Freo as expected at Marvel, they will both end up on 15 wins together. If Brisbane beat Hawthorn at the Gabba as expected, Hawks too will end up on 15 wins. Gold Coast will beat Essendon and also end up on 15 wins.

Based on %, that means Bulldogs are 5th, Gold Coast 6th, Hawthorn 7th and us 8th! Which means (gulp) we play the Bulldogs in an elimination final in Melbourne!
