Autopsy First Semi-Final – GWS Giants vs Brisbane Lions, Saturday September 14, 7.40pm AEST, Engie Stadium

[Giant Strides]

Gameday, first semi-final. Is it our final day in this year's competition, or the gateway to another preliminary final? This is going to be an extraordinarily tough match, even though it's at home. Come out firing boys, but - as last week showed - we need a four-quarter effort all the way to the final siren.

Congratulations to the two lads celebrating 50 games: Keiren Briggs and Finn Callaghan. Have great games.

Whatever the outcome of today’s match, our club has done well to be in a position where a win today will take us to an incredible 5th Preliminary Final in our 13 year history. Most AFL clubs can only dream of such consistent success! Hopefully, Kingsley has the team primed to play 4 quarter football, after we snatched defeat from the jaws of victory against south Melbourne last week.

 

[Giant Pete]

Make it a chaos game. Compete all over the ground.

The weather should be interesting. With a southerly coming over at around 7pm we can expect a very windy game (around 30 km/h winds forecasted). Should hopefully advantage us, as our team will be more used to the conditions at the ground and kicking in high winds there. I'm expecting it to be a bit like the Gold Coast game where it also worked in our favour.

 

[Hawkies]

Hawks are out, now backing GWS for the flag. The team has the potential to win the GF. You can beat Brisbane.

No one wants to see a Sydney v Geelong GF. Go all the way!

Hopefully not the cold rain of the Bulldogs, Swans games.

Sorry, long time since I was on BigFooty so not sure what protocols are on this stuff anymore…

Was going to game tonight but can’t now. Got two tickets - 1 adult, 1 child. Section 226, Row B.

Happy to transfer to someone’s Ticketmaster account free to a good home.

PM me I guess.

 

[Colonial]

They are only selling Cumberland. Surely they would open the tickets left and just say have at it?

We have Andrew Dillon at the pre-match.

Big crowd ?

Was supposed to go but have been waiting on mates. Should've just went and met them there as I've missed it now.

The march leaves in five minutes. We'll make ourselves heard.

Wouldn’t say huge or big but good.
Heard from others that the precinct is packed with orange and charcoal in all the pubs. Good sign.

Don't think I've ever seen so many Giants fans on the trains. So many getting on at Parramatta.

Seems like a very good Giants turnout so far and I am yet to arrive at Olympic Park!

On the way

 

[wingersclub]

Been on the bandwagon since the finals have started and I’m so pumped for you all! If you guys win tonight I’ll be trying to get tickets to next weeks prelim to support Gws.
Good luck!!
