We went two weeks deeper into September than GWS last year and went 3-0 against them. Sure, it's a new year, but the hyperbole that we should somehow be envious of them has started already.

You seriously citing some mental weakness from the Giants last year as objective evidence our players are better than theirs?

I think he's citing the fact we were better than the Giants 3 times in direct match ups, and finished higher, as objective evidence that our players were better (or at least as good, to not warrant envy).

Crazy I know.

Crazy I know.

But we weren't. We got very lucky beating them in the Final off the back of a ridiculous performance from Heeney, and those regular season games were maybe the first two comfortable wins we've had against them in some time. Or are we seriously trying to argue that the same group of players are some seasons suddenly better players than ours and sometimes suddenly worse players than ours off the back of a direct h2h record? As if there aren't so many other factors go into deciding the result of an individual game?

Crazy indeed.

The point wasn't that the Giants as a club/team are better than us, it was that those individual names would walk into our side which was absolutely right.

We were better than them, because we beat them 3 times. And we finished higher.

Which directly goes to your post that I responded to.

I mean sure you can pick good players from any team that would be in another teams 22. I fail to see an actual point here. You could name a bunch from ours that would walk into theirs.

Great so we agree that the original post was fine and Caesar using the team results to rubbish that claim was silly.

You'd have to show that the latter is what happened.

All I saw was a fair point, which you seemed to have a problem with.

The posts are there for you to read mate I can't read them out for you.
 
GWS have a well balanced defence. Taylor is their pillar. Buckley and Himmelberg can lock down but also intercept. Idun does their medium / small lock down. Ash and Whitfield both elite runners and beautiful kicks.
