Where’s the love for GWS?

[PieLebo87]

Now the form side of the competition with 5 wins on the trot.

Have arguably the biggest X factor player in the competition.

Have beaten Adelaide at AO and Melbourne in those last 5 weeks.

Had only lost by less than 2 kicks to Richmond, Geelong and St Kilda in the previous 3 weeks.

Sitting equal 6th and only really have 2 more difficult games to come.

They didn’t lose to us. They beat us, in Geelong.
I love them.

For a side often beaten up for being ‘plastic’ and just an implanted franchise, they have pretty much ALWAYS from the day they first became semi-competitive played with a lot of heart and though they do lose players to the go home factor, most guys who go through that system buy in and give it their best while they are there

Correct! My bad.

At GMHBA mind you.

Seriously underrated side at the moment.

Whilst they’ve won a couple of close ones, they’ve also lost a few close ones this year and would easily be top 8 right now.

 

[BigPond101]

I like them but it's still a blight on the competition to see their 15 % full stadium hopefully they don't get a home final

They have a big ‘casual’ following in this part of the world

I work with 3-4 of them and they weren’t bought up on AFL so when the Giants aren’t a major factor they lose interest a bit. An extended run of being around the top four having had those couple of years thereabouts, and I think their following would be significantly more visible

to be honest, I haven't noticed their rise but beating Adelaide in Adelaide is no easy task

 

[jim boy]

TBF - they did lose to WCE.
Good team though, may win in first week of finals

 

[Cuzz09]

They are looking very competitive.

If they win their 50/50 ones and win the easy ones they're in finals.

X factor 4 sure

[rye]

they are a lot of fun to watch

excellent ball movement which is complimented by a rock solid defence with taylor back now

still a lot of talent on that list from the period they were up there as a premiership contender. would be a dangerous team to encounter in finals if they make it

 

[kreuze_missile]

Someone's gotta finish 10th I guess..

 

[DowJone23]

They’re playing real well which is being driven by the leaders and the coach. Could cause some chaos if they make finals

 

[My Tilly]

As long as Greene's playing, they will always be a chance.

Would hate to face them in a final.
Won 7, lost 6.

They have one of the in-form ruckman of the competition and still have an exceptional midfield.
I think where they are really catching the general public off guard is the resurgence of guys like Riccardi, Ash, Callaghan and Himmelberg's move to defense. He's really locked in at the moment.
Not sure many expected Jesse Hogan

to kick on either but his past two seasons have been more than handy.

I’m personally loving the rise of Idun this year and more recently the transformation of Brown further up the ground.

When you’ve got Taylor and Himmelberg down back, you’re not losing too many aerially.

It’s actually an underrated 22.

 

[My Tilly]

Yeh forgot Idun. He's a gun in the making.
They could probably do with one electric midfielder. Someone with explosiveness who can put the ball under the arm and take off. Not many teams have them but guys like Dangerfield, De Goey, Rozee, Petracca etc.
This is where rumors of bidding for Harley Reid may come into play on draft day. Packaging up some draft picks to bring in such a dynamic player.

 

[Rod Stroker]

TBF - they did lose to WCE.
Good team though, may win in first week of finals

They're the ONLY team to lose to WC.

I like them, good to watch. Gotta love Toby.
No coincidence that their recent winning run has coincided with Taylor returning

Buckley has also been good in defence.
The son of our former President and we chose not to take him when is our backline is close to the worst in the league

 

[Danw0w]

They will be top four next year i think. They are bursting with talent and have a seemingly pretty good coach as well.

 

[WillHayward]

A genuine threat.

Have guns in all parts of the ground.

Wouldn't want to run in to them in the finals on a good day.

 

[Colonial]

Right here.

 

[Macca180]

GWS big smokey along with Geelong to do a dogs 2016.

 

[StonesThrow]

Really strong defence

Yeah great up and comer

I bet you look forward to seeing him in your defence and colours in a couple of years because that’s where he’ll probably end up like most of the others.

Let’s be honest
Who really, really cares about gws

No danger of that this year for the Swans.

Gotta love the ******* blues fans back talking smack after a few wins
