Autopsy Round 1 2024 - GWS Giants v North Melbourne, 4.35 pm Saturday 16 March @ ENGIE Stadium

[Colonial]

We need quarter time and Kingers to fire them up. They are being very lazy.

 

[Drummond]

Must be disheartening being so good and playing such an exciting brand of football and having such a poor crowd. I just don’t understand. Is there any progress being made? I didn’t buy it last week because of the sheer amount of Pies fans.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Seems to be a ton still walking in and around the surrounds though. Fingers crossed it’s another 6k or so

A crowd of 10k would be great considering the opposition, but I would be ecstatic if we beat the record for our highest ever crowd against Norths in Giants Stadium - 7,824

what is the crowd numbers looking like?

We had around 50% of last week so don’t think it was a buy in thing.

Also, we are part time Western Sydney. We all know they aren’t going to run, especially with the funding in the facilities the NSW government would sue, but to others it may look that way

 

[Colonial]

Toby ain’t himself

 

[Colonial]

Crowd guess? 8k

 

[domologue]

I don’t understand what happened for that call against Ash?

Holding the ball. Yes a stupid ****ing call.

 

[Land of the Giants]

Kingsley will have plenty to say at half-time.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

We seem to be thinking that we just need to show up to win

 

[Drummond]

5 point lead just prior to 1/2, are you for real?

 

[Colonial]

Absolute disrespectful gobshite footy.
Umps aren’t helping but we are our own worse enemy

 

[Adam Giant]

Pretty sloppy so far.

might be a better player than XO and Wehr?

 

[Drummond]

Not sure. Last week his foot skills were pretty poor, kicks were very shallow. I’m just not sure where he fits anymore.

 

[Colonial]

What a rubbish 1st half.

Cogs, Taylor, Hogan can hold their heads up and that’s about it.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

19 points lead is still a 3 goal+ lead, but we should have had a bigger lead against a team like Norths

Yes - our captain Toby not his usual brilliant self so far

TFG must have the flue bug or something he is nowhere near his usual self.

 

[domologue]

XO was better last year when he didn’t think he was good.

He’s back to really poor disposal efficiency, and makes bad decisions. Love the effort and the tussle but needs to take the simple and easy disposal every time.

TFG spent a while trying to put the others in the game, like he did last week, but can also just do it himself.

When we look good it’s good. But we are the ones forcing our own turnovers, so could easily clean it up.

Hopefully Kingsley will have the team primed for a much better second half

 

[Orange Agent]

I'm comfortable with playing like this at this point of the season. Second half of the year definitely not. Briggs has started the year pretty slowly, could of written off last week as I think Darcy Cameron

is pretty underrated, expected him to be much better today. A few others similar but I would rather have these guys firing in Aug/Sept than now. I think the message should be go all out this qtr and put the game away.

I said this last week and it’s 100% true. He must know his limitations. He can be an effective player when he knows them and keeps it simple.

Yes but.
We need to win these games and well.
