Club Focus GWS Giants 2023

Data from footywire. To check the draft order see the thread here.

Footywire says: "While we make every effort to keep up to date with player contracts, it is likely that our data may at times be out of date, incomplete or inaccurate. If you find any player contracts that need updating, please let us know using our brand new contract submission form."

Himmelberg should have a bit of interest

 

[eth-dog]

Can see Flynn on the move if he gets stuck behind Preuss and Briggs. Can equally see Preuss moving if Flynn overtakes him.

That'd have Preuss to be right on track to be the first five club player since Dale Kickett.

Perhaps they can share at least one of those clubs haha

fingers crossed it doesn't the guy is a very good ruck just seems to struggle with getting a decent crack at a club

All the pieces are there, but he switches off too often and gives away too many silly frees.
If he can sort it, could be really good.
I reckon that the Giants are trying to work out the best 2 rucks long term and will let the third walk at the end of the season

 

[Orange Agent]

Agreed, his lack of discipline and luck with injuries are his biggest issues to sort out. Talent wise, the attributes are all there.

 

[Thetrader15]

Himmelberg should have a bit of interest

Hopefully to join his brother

 

[Marcel Proust]

Hopefully to join his brother

Tigerland looks a decent fit too.

He may miss TT and hops

 

[Vindicater]

Hopefully to join his brother

Would be a good fit at the crows.

Who knows where GWS will finish on the table, every year lose players to go home factor.

Anywhere from 17th to 5th is my range, depending on the new coach, oldies having better years and of course maturing of the younger talent.

Complete mystery side

I can say with absolute confidence our range is much closer to 1-18

Says something about the tall pathways in place. He should not be getting another contract, plenty of chances but can't get his body right and mental application has to be a serious concern.

Tom Hickey said it best when talking to a few academy kids early on, I'm paraphrasing a bit, but 'when you grow up do you want to be a ruck or midfielder? A little piece of advice, say ruck. A midfielder gets 3 years to prove they can, a ruck gets 7 or more years to prove they can't'

Preuss has had long enough

I like that.
Preuss is such a tease.
He does just enough to get you excited, simultaneously doing just enough to think he is not there
His best, he is an AFL player all day. But....

... you can caps lock and bold that last word. All the attributes to make a player but not the head for it is my impression

Yep, its that BUT that is the frustration for sure!

He clunks a couple pack marks down the line and you think yeah, he is going to be great, than he gives away a stupid free and turns it into a 50m penalty and you face palm.

locked away for 4 more

 

[citizen-erased]

Tom Green locked away for 4 more

should get the opportunity to properly explode this year with Taranto and Hopper voids.

this is good for the Giants.

This has to BS, kid just wants to play for Richmond. He was in tears when he found out where he was being drafted.

 

[Colonial]

I remember Tiges fans saying this wasn’t Like North and Kelly as they aren’t North and will get him. Well well.

I guess we will see in 4 years if they start going on again.

He had a lazy 50 in the intra club. Not Tom Mitchell style 50 either.

 

[Giant Pete]

Taranto and Hopper gone. Freed up cash to lock in Green and Callaghan. And picked up some nice draft picks too.
Very good outcome for us.

Yeah due to the concessions given to you at the start you are always able to churn out former first rounders (who want more cash) for new first rounders

Hold onto the bitterness.
