Last time I tip the Giants for a while, what is going on with them?

Big questions over them, kind of put doubts on 'game of the round' last week.

 

[Topkent]

God I hope the Eagles get up here.

The **** would you ever want that

Crazy how much the giants need a fit Phil Davis

. Surely that project is close to breaking point, they've never had the best side in the league or come that close really.

 

[Crusty Demon]

lol Freo. How can you not beat Saints at your home ground when you're 3 goals up!? Geez they are a pathetic club. You just have to find a way to win that game. We should save Brayshaw the embarrassment of playing for that club and steal him. Pathetic from Freo. Was a truly horrible game to watch as well. Putrid in fact.

As for Giants, wowee. They look so incredible at times and so lacklustre other times. They have so much talent on that list yet get smashed to a depleted Richmond!? Davis seriously needs to hang up the boots. Great player but always injured. No wonder Toby does batsh** crazy stuff onfield sometimes! The team clearly need a kick up the a$$ to get going sometimes. No idea where they are at this year tbh. Probably just miss the 8..

 

[LeverPuller]

Tell you what the way things are going I wouldn’t be surprised if the top 6 are locked. 9 of the bottom 10 have looked atrocious

I would.

I’ve thought that the top 6 were locked every year by round 2. I was wrong every time. I’m not falling for it again

 

[Crusty Demon]

Yeah, it's interesting. Dogs, Bombers, Port, GWS taking up bottom 6 spots. All should lift at some stage. Can easily see Bombers and Dogs going 0-3 though. Seriously tough to come back from there. I just can't see the Hawks or Suns winning enough games. Funnily enough I can see Collingwood making it. Same with Carlton who should be aiming for Top 4 now tbh. Easy draw too. Going to be tough for teams now making a good start to the season. Lions, Cats, Swans and Dees are locks I'd say. I'm not quite ready to lock in Carlton yet. Need to see a few more rounds. From what I've seen based purely on 2 rounds of football, I'd have the 8 as below

Dees
Swans
Lions
Cats
Blues
Tigers
Collingwood
Hawks

 

[Tulip]

Nothing is anywhere near being locked in. I'm confident we finish high on the ladder if our injury issues don't get any worse (bloody Selwyn ) and that North will be bottom four, but that's about it.

 

[Topkent]

I really don’t rate Norths youth, probs wrong there though.

Pretty early mate, midfields got some high quality talent but they've just started the list build.

 

[Topkent]

Btw no wonder depression is so prevalent in society now just look at the reaction to Buddy's 1000. The amount of times I've heard people say " lucky people weren't hurt, someone could have been trampled, where were the security, it wasn't safe etc etc"

Can't just enjoy anything anymore without constantly being reminded of every potential negative and sad outcome.

Turn on 360, get 5 minutes of talk about the games then 40 minutes of tribunal complaints, talk of dangerous actions, long term repercussions and why isn't the AFL making a stand on this etc. Can't go 10 minutes anywhere without some campaigner reminding you that everything could be miserable

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Bombers, Blues and Saints all chances of causing upsets I reckon.

2/3 with the upsets. And a moral victory cause the Bombers fell in a heap after 1/4 time.

Used Norf as my knockout selection. Get them out of the way . Yay.

Swapped my tip to GWS on the back of Dusty not playing. Grrr

Only one I couldn't see coming this week was Hawthorn belting the bejesus out of Poort.

Expert Tipster looked like an semi expert this week.

This week will have some tough ones. GWS v Gold Coast could go either way, and I could see the Dogs getting their shit together and rolling Sydney after the madness Sydney have been through over the weekend.

I preferred this one from last week.

what madness?

 

[Bluelegs]

Just reckon the emotional high/adrenaline of it all could have made it a little hader to refocus for the this week.

I dont think there is anything in that at all. Might actually help them the 1000 is out of the way now if anything.

Maybe, Dogs going 0-3 would be hilarious though so I hope I'm wrong.

 

[Topkent]

Dogs to win. Sydney haven't quite been as good and the dogs not as bad as made out.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Swans are our main competition this year I reckon, wouldnt mind the Dogs winning, I dont want to play a significant final at the SCG if possible.

Sydney are a bloody good side imo.

Piss funny how they look to have turn Paddy into a decent player in the backline also.

Conceded 27 shots in both games. They can beat anyone in their day the way they attack but they aren't defending that well been lucky the first 2 games.

Weideman pay ****ing attention

Swans got some really good youth coming thru. Henney might be a more polished version of Trac by the end of the year. Absolute star.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Hilarious how a player from NSW probably has the best skills in the comp in 2021

Steel Sidebottom underrated for this beautiful skills on both sides.

I really love Blakey, looks like he's from the 80s the way he just gets the ball and runs. Hell of a player.

Swans players are all beautiful kicks, who would have guessed being able to train them at an AFL club from the age of 13 helps them compared to the rest.
