We're entering new territory here - watching Geelong sh*t the bed in October rather than September.

St Kilda would no doubt love to be able to secure GWS star Tim Taranto, but the likelihood of them being able to trade in the contracted 22-year-old seems highly unlikely.

Essendon great Matthew Lloyd said on Footy Classified on Wednesday night that Taranto was the ideal player for the Saints and he would be their prime target in this trade period.

List consultant Graeme Allen also worked at the Giants previously - albeit not when Taranto was recruited - and is now a consultant to St Kilda so there was also a connection between the clubs, who traded successfully when former Giant Jack Steele moved to the Saints.

Unfortunately, those pieces might not combine to get a deal done as the Giants and the player's manager insist Taranto is going nowhere.

Matt Bain, Taranto's manager, laughed off the suggestion that the former number two pick, who was the Giants' best and fairest winner last year, could be moving.

"There's zero truth in it. It will not be happening. He signed last year until the end of 2022 and he loves the club, he loves it up there. Tim Taranto is not leaving," said Bain.

Lloyd was not wrong in saying Taranto would be the ideal player for St Kilda and the player whose name they would logically put up as their number one target, but from the words of Bain and the Giants it seems doubtful that will happen this off-season.
The Giants have already lost Zac Williams and Aiden Corr as free agents this year, which has slightly eased pressure on what was known to be a stressed salary cap.

The Giants are still waiting to hear from Jeremy Cameron on whether he will accept a new long-term, contract or seek to exercise his free agency rights and move clubs.
Most in the industry now expect Cameron to remain at the Giants but until he announces his decision and, like Joe Daniher, the longer it takes to make it public, the greater the doubt becomes that he will stay.

16 minutes into the game and Port have 3 players already with 3 tackles. 16 tackles in total.

I know it's finals footy, but there were too many times this season when we barely had a player get to 3 tackles for an entire game!

Dangerfield hardly setting the world on fire yet

Pascal clinkers now come in a large pack. Just letting you know.
Oh yeah I’m watching the footy.

When does it start?

When does it start?

I can guess the flavour

 

[SonofSamsquanch]

I can guess the flavour

Is that one on the right lemon, pineapple or banana.

 

[see see]

Is there a player in the history of the game that's gotten away with more pushes in the back than Tom Hawkins?

 

[deano28]

Dixon phenomenal there ... That last play is exactly why Brown is on the outer , his inability to halve a contest and not allow intercept marks and rebounding is damning .

 

[SonofSamsquanch]

Blood rule Geelong. Dangers must not have realised he’s been bleeding like a cut cat for the last 4 minutes.

Yuk.

Yuk.

You can suck the chocolate off.

I watched about 10 minutes of the second quarter, and between Selwood & friggen Chamberlain, they've just ruined the game for me. Can't imagine two more annoying faces......and they are on screen together all the time!

 

[Themanbun]

Fair set of foreheads on at half time.

Jobe's hairline is receding faster than Dodoro's future job prospects.

If those drugs he took were supplied by doctor ageless then you’d reckon Watson would be asking for a refund. He looks older than his old man.

I don’t think there is.....it’s un-*ing-believable that he’s allowed to just shove a bloke time and again.

Not as much speed as his old man ...... whatever that means
