Autopsy 2023 Round 7 – Sydney Swans vs GWS Giants, Saturday, April 29, 2.10PM AEST, SCG

[Giant Strides]

So, a wet day in Sydney. Who does that favour? It might slow down Swans' running game, but would also hinder our talls (less so Sydney, given they have less). As much as I think this game was up for grabs, the weather very much makes it a crapshoot. We did OK against Carlton in the wet, except for letting Cripps run riot in midfield. Hopefully with our first choice midfield in play, we can get ahead in that part of the game. Good luck to the hardy souls who brave the weather to turn up.



Let's go Giants and upset these Swans!

I think the weather helps us somewhat. Means the game won’t be as open which is their preference.

Going in I thought we would struggle to match up a combo of Franklin, McLean and mcdonald but the wet kind of negates that. And brown is a good selection in the wet

 

[PaythePerryman]

Brown will be really handy in the wet. Strong and Fast. Probably giving up some size to a tall but we can live with that in these conditions. He's really earnt his spot from being a forward pressure player early and now a dogged defender in the VFL.
We are as BIG as we were last year so the wet game may not suit us as much but Daniels and Bedford could be really handy today.
We need to put the clamp of Papley. My guess is Idun will get the job as he rarely loses 1on1s.

[Land of the Giants]

They just interviewed a Swans player about which Giants player they were most concerned with.

No prizes for guessing who.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Toby!! The other one..good debut so far!

 

[Giant Strides]

Yes. Nice run from the back, and pass from Toby to Toby 2. First goal in a nice finish from Toby Bedford

The Toby Show.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

It’s the Toby show..Tobys are 2 goals and Swans are scoreless..great start for us

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Jesse literally put his kicking boots back on!

 

[Colonial]

Defence holding up without Taylor.

 

[Del208273]

Come on, Lachie Ash.

You can't lose concentration like that 30m out from goal.

Allowed Hayward an uninterrupted run to the ball.

 

[Colonial]

That was disappointing. Hopefully come out with the same pressure.

 

[sydney_gws]

A shame about that last goal. I still remember the game at the Gabba in 2021 when they got 3 goals in the last two minutes to win from a 40 point deficit ( during covid, Toby Greene

was ruled our 1 hour before game started as he had been to the rugby game in VIC).

 

[sydney_gws]

Come on, Lachie Ash.

You can't lose concentration like that 30m out from goal.

Allowed Hayward an uninterrupted run to the ball.

I hope he becomes elite one day, given we gave up 3 first round picks to get him)

 

[PMBangers]

XOH > Wayne Carey don't even @ me

 

[Del208273]

O'Halloran has got that sweet spot about 40-50m out from the attacking goal.

He's kicked multiple goals in the past few weeks in that zone.

 

[Giant Strides]

Wow, Angwin showed some zip to get to that ball first!

And what a finish from XOH! 3 goals last week, 2 so far this week.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

X marks the spot indeed! XOH kicking well

 

[PMBangers]

 

[Del208273]

I tells ya, it's the sweet spot for XOH!
