Autopsy Round 17 2024 – GWS Giants vs Carlton, Saturday July 6, 7.30pm AEST, Engie Stadium

[Giant Strides]

Gameday is today. Let's switch on Giants and cause a massive boilover!

Congrats and good luck to Joe Fonti for his debut game today.

 

[Colonial]

Just show me some intent and aggression.

Effort!!!!

Not game day but thought it was good promotion for today's Welcome Game.

Can't seem to embed the post with the vid so took a screen shot of the post and you can watch the video below.

Speaking in their native language, I feel is speaking directly to those diverse communities. Brilliant.

A game that will show the character of our team. Carlton are now just behind Sydney as premiership favourites, and are playing confident winning football - will show how good we are against the best.

Win against this quality opponent, and this could be the game that turns our season around. Need Toby at his best, and the entire team needs to play 4 quarter football and stay focused.

Let’s Go Giants!!

 

[Danny88]

I’ll be heading in but I’m pretty pessimistic

 

[The Devils Advocate]

C'mon lads, pump the blue baggers.

Gate opening time there is half an hour after the showgrounds time?

 

[fingercuts]

If we lose this one, maybe the Carlton fans can teach us how to boo our own team. It worked for them last year, the blues really turned it around after their fans gave them a resounding booing.

Game dont start till 7:30 though.

Why i think the Giants will win tonight:

1) Kieran Briggs is a great ruckman who is massively underrated. I think TDK will learn a lesson.

2) My man Bedford has been killing it as a tagger, he reminds me of Crouch of the Swans in the 00's, a competitor without BS. He should tag Sam Walsh

is a due for performance ala Geelong.

4) Carlton is due for a loss. They deserve to be in Top 4 no doubt but I think they are overrated. Wobbly at the front, steep decline in quality in some positions and are slow overall once Walsh and Saad are negated. I picked Adelaide to beat Carlton early in the season, the only poster to do so in the Adelaide forum. I feel that Carlton will drop off tonight.

Won't be going due to recovery from cold.

Go the Giants!

Here’s hoping

I feel it in my bones, a big win from the Giants. That Darcy Jones is a cracker and Carlton are treacle slow. Play the fast running game and you’ll get them.

If it’s a battle of speed vs size, speed wins every time against the blues.

I like fast players.

Fire up boys!

 

[Section226]

Dang.

Lots of Carlton supporters already at the ground with 30 minutes to first bounce.

Ground looks very damp - expected.

Rain might hold off. Famous last words. Cool but hardly any breeze.

Nice night for footy.

How’s the crowd looking? expecting our previous record home crowd against Carlton (10,355) to be beaten tonight

 

[Land of the Giants]

Here's their banner.

What cheek. Rip them a new obe!

I reckon 8000 here at 7.25pm.

People still coming in so might get close to 10000.

 

[Section226]

There's the first floater that puts a team mate under immediate pressure...

Turn over.

Goal.

Damn it giants. Will you ever learn?

 

[Colonial]

We do some silly shit

 

[Section226]

Take the bluddy mark Cumming.

Goodness me....

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Toby!!!! Hopefully a sign of things to come from him

Hope not.
Them kicking two goals to one each time ain’t a good day
