Such as?

The Giants' home wins this season and our last match there were the main things to catch my eye.

Your comment was “There's quite a bit factually incorrect here ”.

What did I say that was factually incorrect? I’m quite happy to be proven wrong if you present that actual facts that are incorrect.

Feel like we are going to get flogged but please boys prove me wrong

Fair point regarding the covid match against Melbourne. I’d forgotten that match.

What is your point about the giants v bulldogs match?

 

[Toffee Lion]

I hope we win today, that is all.

They have a habit of kicking straight and we don't. Their defence is definitely beatable but we need to restrict their chances and just bloody kick straight. For me, the result hangs on which Daniher turns up.

The same Daniher turns up nearly every week.

Remarkably consistent imo.

Oh Kane

Kane usually goes after big players for 'in the gun' and they seem to often come good - Jeremy Cameron was one earlier in the year, also Rayner before his hot streak if I remember right.

Would be nice if we could switch places on this stat tonight. Would be more than confident if we could kick straight we’d have enough chances to kick a bigger score than them. Unfortunately, nothing we’ve shown in that space the last month gives me confidence in that.

Sadly I think we used up our fluky goal kicking in the grand final last year and we'll never kick that accurately again.

That dees game still makes me mad. We got called for holding the man like twice and then stopped doing it, instead letting Petracca and Oliver stream out of stoppage. Dumb! Keep holding, the umpires won't call it enough.

 

[harvester]

Hopefully Hippy's kicking improves this week, plus the team's accuracy kicking for goal. Also, if our midfield can get on top at the stoppages, game over I feel

And it wasn't even enough to win that day

 

[Toffee Lion]

Surely tonight is the night that the Giants go 5.17 and we kick 13.4.

Ideal start would be Charlie slotting a set shot from ~40m out to get things rolling, both for himself and from a teams goalkicking perspective.

Agree, altho, even in the last 4 games, our accuracy issues generally haven't surfaced until later in games.

Getting excited for this one

 

[BRAB]

My model says today is the day it all clicks. 12 perfect quarters of football await

 

[Gadzorks]

None of the emergencies playing VFL

Priorities- everything sacrificed for the premiership opportunity.

 

[Ceebee]

Well I am still optimistic .

Just win boys .

 

[Gadzorks]

I am exhausted already. Trying to prepare myself for an evening of intense emotional roller-coaster-ing.

I wish I could manage my footy emotions better so I could enjoy the game, and not just the replay.

I felt physically ill last week, pretty relaxed at the moment.

Have no expectations from this point on, has been a season where despite the run of wins it has felt like we have not hit fifth gear.

The prospect of the Blues ending our season at the GABBA was vomit worthy. I can handle a valiant loss against the Giants away, if it happens that way.
