Giants strong marks all over the ground - important with the game tightening.

coniglio is so good

Very good team in the air and not to bad at the contested stuff either.

Tom Mitchell was lippy at quarter time. Yet to touch it this quarter.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Let's goooooo

 

[Drummer_19]

Giants are just stocked with all these big, athletic guys all over the ground that can run all day, take strong marks and have high skills. Far cry from the no defence playing midget brigade we have.

 

[eth-dog]

Jeez they're so quick on the slingshot

 

[Knighta21]

Just checking in to see if someone can explain why the ump didn’t give the Giants advantage when they got a 50 on the wing in the first term. The ump didn’t let it play out which leaves me a little baffled.

Umpire said it’s dead ball once he called 50m

To borrow a phrase from Bruce

Delicious

Umpire said it’s dead ball once he called 50m

 

[Nifft]

Not bad so far by the orange boys. Be good to see some humbug from the black and whites.

 

[Blind Turn]

Umpire said it’s dead ball once he called 50m

Cheers. I didn’t hear that.

It massively disadvantaged the team in possession. Just a bizarre interpretation of the rule. The ball was in motion and well ahead of where the 50m would take them. As a result, an almost certain goal from 15m directly in front becomes a difficult shot on the angle from 40m. It just makes zero sense.

 

[Petrify]

As a Giants member I probably shouldn't say this, but Essendon should offer Finn Callaghan a 10 year deal. He's Tom Green

but slightly taller and slightly younger, exactly who we (essendon part of me) need

 

[rumply]

Only thing that beats the Giants from here (barring injury) is the short break. The AFL, being the clown show it is, should be mightily ashamed if that's what eventuates. But they won't. If it does. Which it wont. I'm done.

GWS looking good. I picked them.

Pies looking slow all of a sudden. Daicos underdone.

 

[jannissary]

keep de goey away from the football & the pies pace dries up entirely

Darcy Moore’s hair is an embarrassment.

All he needs is a red swimsuit.

That's it in a nutshell. We will see in the next few months if our club has woken up to the necessity of closing down space by the type of players we bring in.

Kath such a natural speaker
Ralphy structures his sentences rather strangely.

Aren't they the same height?

[Nifft]

Giants are dithering around a bit, wonder if they’re getting tired
