Preview Round 3 – North Melbourne vs GWS Giants, Saturday 8th April, 1.45pm, Blundstone Arena

[Giant Strides]

Hmmm, perhaps Leon didn't want to take any chances. Corr for Bunts should leave Haynes free to intercept, and also with only Jezza & Rory as KPFs provides an option to release a third tall forward if Jezza is double-teamed. Guess we'll see how it works out for us. I wasn't too concerned about having a smaller forward line, as the wind is likely to bring the crumbers into the game more, and you would think that Toby, Stevie J & Dev are primed after last week's opposed training run.

We will see if the problems against Adelaide have truly been solved. We have to win this if we really are going to challenge for the flag. Go GIANTS!

Lets not forget stevie J will most likely get his 500th goal today

Sad it didnt come up in front of the home crowd last week

Make sure you guys at the ground today show him the love

Not sure of the quality of tje Photo looking into the sun but if you can make out the stand next to the Hill area, It's obvious they weren't planning a big cowd.

Ground announcement Bunts out and Corr in

How's the weather? Windy at all?

How's the weather? Windy at all?

Dying down if anything but a bit gusty. Grounds not very protected.

 

[Giant Strides]

Toooooooobbbbbbbyyyyyyyyy! Contested possession, never gives up!!!!

 

[Big Stinky Monk]

Loved the banner



Well done cheer squad

 

[Simmofreo]

Griffen needs a new head. How much blood comes out of it

Never seen so many fumbles in a giants game

They will clean that up at qtr time you would think

Never seen so many fumbles in a giants game.

Agree, if we can clean it up we should be able to pull away. If not, we'll keep the Kangaroos close enough to strike.

Good work to win the quarter against the wind. Roos keeping up their pressure game, but we are finding away against that too. Mind you the Roos have fluffed a few chances. Now need to use e wind to advantage.

This guy is going to have a better highlights real than his mentor SJ!

The Roos showed their (in)ability to close out a game last week. If we have out noses in front at half time, it would take a brave individual to bet against us

 

[Simmofreo]

Green has suddenly become possibly our most important player. What a star

Last year was no fluke

[fridgeman]

Sloppy game so far, I don't think many guys have played in a breeze like this looking at the kicking and also missed passes
Wilson to try for a run by hand pass for a goal from the centre circle?

 

[Bokonon_]

North are very efficient by foot. Ithink we truned it over too often in the first qtr. Better so farthis qtr

 

[_GT_]

What a frustrating quarter. Should be five goals up. Hope it doesn't come back to haunt us.

 

[Bokonon_]

A side note the natives are restless. Just had to avoid a punch up, only took a minute for security and Police to show though. Atmosphere.reminds me of old school SANFL games, loving it. Definitely majority Norths and our cheer squad is ten people.
Oddly fair few Hawks supporters and a smattering of most clubs.

 

[Gigantic]

Griff on crutches. FMD
Cogs nearing a return in the coming few weeks?

 

[Simmofreo]

Bloody midfield injuries are killing us.

Hope cogs is back soon because Griff looks gone for a bit

All of a sudden, this afternoons NEAFL game has just become very important for Bam Bam and Setters to put in a big performance

 

[Simmofreo]

Has anyone heard and news how cogs and Lids are travelling ?

[Big Stinky Monk]

Good quarter by Tomlinson. Been solid today.

 

[_GT_]

Very frustrating game. Burning opportunities in front of goals. It looks like difficult conditions, but seriously? Leon looks as frustrated as I am. Roos close enough to strike and shouldn't be. Griff down just makes me more pissed off. Just need some composure and get the bloody four points.

 

[Gigantor]

We're looking like a team which is only wanting to do barely enough to win and no more.

We should get the 4 points, but it definitely won't count as one of our best games.

 

[Gigantor]

Nice goal, that was better.

 

[Big Stinky Monk]

Wilson is just a ripper kick. Flawless action
