Review Round 1 - GWS GIANTS vs Sydney Swans @ Spotless Stadium

[Geelong_Sicko]

Your finest hour as a club so far. It was great to see Josh Hunt up, about, and playing well for you guys. As long as he doesn't turn it on against us!!

Interesting club song, by the way. Sounds like a Russian drinking song!

Congrats to the club. Absolutely stoked at the win, I look forward to watching gws this year, especially that forward line. All the best

Congrats Josh Hunt and GWS, you were foolishly disrespected in 2013, best wishes for more success.

You guys did a great job in getting Mumford, Hunt and Shaw. 3 quality players with size have really given the young, talented players the confidence to take the game on.

I wish my club had pinched a player of that ilk.

Congrats on the win.

Indeed,
When we first got him I thought he'd just be polyfiller - but I'm so glad to have been wrong about this.

Loved his work in both this game and the practice match against the crows. Tough as nails.

The new recruits add steel to our polished list and was exactly what we were missing.

Just watching the replay (again) and there is a brilliant piece of commentary by Dwayne Russell. 13:55 left on the clock in the second quarter. Scores 46-25 to Sydney.

"GWS can't get a victory this afternoon, they just want to get closer than they've ever been before, show some improvement."

Good call Der-Wayne How'd that one work out for you.

I heard that when watching the replay too, immediately thought of Bill Collins "And Kingston Town can't win from there..."

Well done and congrats on the win, awesome work!!!
