Good road team the Giants, the plus of playing everywhere from arseh*le to breakfast.

 

[PJ Power]

GWS hitting great form at the right time. Kingsley got them playing very well.

They’ll be very dangerous in a couple of weeks.

 

[Jojay]

Giants up to 5th !

Seven in a row. First team in forever to win at 9 different venues in one calendar season. Awesome

 

[Jojay]

If the suns could somehow knock off the bears.....

 

[gbear]

Yep. Another one that Kornes got badly wrong.

Small man syndrome. Kane hasn’t got any value to football other than spouting shit.

Whatever he say...

 

[Grave Danger]

0-3 in my tipping so far...

Maybe we should have gone after Kingers not Carr. Geez he has had a bit of stress in his first year as coach.

The Rd 22 game against them should be a beauty.


They have only been completely no chance in 1 game. Involved in more close games than Collingwood. Like Collingwood have been winning when trailing at 1/2 and 3/4 time.

They are 5-3 in games with 12 pts or less margin and 8-6 in games where the margin is 19 pts or less.

Collingwood are 5-1 and 7-2.

The Bravedogs should poach Hinkley.

And remember the Crow supporters blaming their poor form on having to play Bulldogs at Ballarat and Suns in NT earlier this year?

Giants showing how to do it - without whingeing.

 

[b0ydman Jr]

This round is looking like a tipsters’ nightmare, hope it does not continue tonight.

Funnily enough if you forgot to enter tips you'd be 3/3 so far. I'm sitting at 1/3 (got GWS right)

Yep 3-0 up for me this round. By being lazy.

 

[Poo Eckert]

So much for powerhouse Cats

Good thing about today is if we win tonight it puts us 4 games clear of 5th with 4 to go.

All they care about is playing solid team footy & take all the travelling in their stride, it probably bonds them closer tbh.

so far so good, lets hope they can keep it up for a round of upsets

After they got reamed by the umps against Footscray the 2016 prelim would be great if this is the game that gets the Giants playing finals and Bulldogs missing out.

since these 2006 losses they have gone 106-1-17 down there.

Time for us to win a game at Kardina Park. Only done it twice, in 2001 and 2007, and have been close twice - 2003 lost by 1 pt when Ben Graham kicked a 60m goal and the Dixon debacle in 2017 when we lost by 2 pts. Did lose by 10 pts in 2006 and lost it in the last quarter against the breeze. All other games they have basically spanked us. We are 2-13 there .

Hard to beat as you are always playing against 3 extras

 

[PowerBaz]

It's not supposed to be. When we joined in 1997 the AFL was marketed as a national competition. The AFL pretends it is a national competition but they continue to act as if it is just the expanded VFL. The fact that they continue to refer to non-Victorian clubs as "interstate" clubs is a dead giveaway.

Yeah let's not kid ourselves, we should be thankful, remember...

 

[Harlott]

Giants have become a good away team because they’ve come to terms with the fact that no matter where they play, home or away, they get no support.

Tonight is vital.

Umps will go in without lube next week, unheard of to win the freekick count at geelong and definitely won’t happen 2 weeks in a row

Sorry I forgot to mention, guaranteed Kenny extension.
Enjoy the game
