Ran out of puff again - but great signs against the top team - well done to the boys for staying in it for as long as they did.

Toby Greene needs to get his arse kicked over that stupid 50 metre penalty. That was giving away 6 points for nothing.
Hard to say what was up but it looked like he was asking who to give it back to, which is fair enough when the umps pay a guaranteed 50 for giving it to the wrong person and there were two of them there.
If asked at the beginning of the game if I would take 39 points I would have said "hell yes". This was our youngest and most inexperienced team EVER and given we're us, that is a hell of a statement. We were away from home and playing the top of the table team.
I didn't see the last quarter, but what I saw before that pleased me no end. Roll on 2015 and 2016.
Oh and.... JEZZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He was trying to be clever and got caught. He won't do that again.
Yeah, but at least it wasn't a twelve goal history breaking quarter like the Melbourne game. We actually hung in there pretty well considering what it could have been.
Great work Giants! It was not the result I expected. I must say our set shot accuracy appears to be impressive this season.

Today makes you realise what an exciting future we've got in front of us.
We don't lack for talent. We have reasonable depth. We're well coached, and the boys understand the need to play for each other, like all good teams.
We just need the fitness that comes with physical maturity. Time and training will sort that out.

Went to the game.. Very impressed overall. Thought corrs debut was fantastic. Treloar live looked to be almost the best of our mids at this stage. Cameron is a gun. Hard not to be excited when you think 3 years ahead and they all have 50-100 games under their belts. Gun mature ruck and defender are definitely what we need at end of year.

By far the best the defenders have played as a unit, might be time that instead of picking the best individual defenders we start picking the defenders who can work best as a defensive unit.

Factor into this Phil Davis (our most experienced defender for GWS) is out, they really stepped it up more than just a notch.

Fantastic first half guys 
Really impressed. Jeremy Cameron is going to be a 200+ games 400+ goal type over the next 10 years. Really excited to see how his career develops.

Yeah. Its incredible to think we might be seeing the start of the career of one of the great full-forwards.
You might be right, I could see a few traces of Matthew Lloyd in him. If he ends up half as good as Lloydy you'll do well.
I think you lot are in for a great ride with this bunch of players, very exciting to watch before the fatigue and lack of pre seasons kicks in. Cameron is just a gun, probably the most talented key forward to enter the system since Buddy.
Biggest mistake the club has made so far IMO

I was also at the game (Vic member 3 years)
It appeared they did step up in that they 'teamed ' a bit better than before any other time this year.
I'm not sure we will win any matches this year, having missed some earlier oppotunities, but we are definitely not getting the beltings which many have suggested.
Based upon what I saw (Corr & Bruce), we may be better off developing our own tall backs, but we definitely could do with Nic-Nat or a number of levels (on the fild and off the field, he was born in Western Sydney).
The after match function was simple but also very worthwhile.
Well done all-round Giants!

Giants certainly played well, if they were a more experience side, they are going to worry a few sides, they look to be coming together nicely.
Just watched the replay last night. It's efforts like this game that make the poor performances tolerable. Doesn't even really matter that you (I'm a Crows supporter this week, next week i'm back to using 'we') lost the game. The team showed heart, showed skill, and gave a glimpse of what a formidable club GWS will be in the next few years. It's good every now and then to see a performance like this to make it all worthwhile. Top stuff.

Nice to see that Cameron was judged best on the ground against the bombers in the AFL coaches award and received 9 votes:
