Autopsy Round 17 2024 – GWS Giants vs Carlton, Saturday July 6, 7.30pm AEST, Engie Stadium

[Land of the Giants]

Great fightback.

 

[dlanod]

Three slips in one half to Ward. Must think he's Mark Taylor.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

What a fantastic quarter by us..this could be season defining and be the pivotal game that reignites us

 

[Section226]

Fonti cramping up.

Needs that half time break.

Standing ovation for the Giants.

Fully deserved for that 2nd quarter performance. Usually, we go to sleep.

 

[taurus]

Well done!
The tsunami is back!

Let's regroup and run out the game.

Blues are looking slow like they did early in the season.

 

[Giant YoYo]

After a quiet first quarter, crowd has become very engaged and loud in the member stands!!

Loud Giant chant and cheering breaking out after the half time siren.

 

[Orange Agent]

Fonti has plenty of AFL attributes. Another good find by Caruso.

 

[Section226]

Free kicks 10-5 Carlton.

Hopefully a few even upperers.

Still getting beaten badly in the clearances despite Briggs dominating.

Yet, we're only behind by 2.

How???!!!

 

[Drummond]

Good:

- Fonti. 11 disposals. 4 inside 50’s, demonstrating his running game. Love how hard he’s pushed forward and given an option, it’s actually generated a lot of offence.

- Hogan. 2 goals, 10 disposals, 4 contested marks. Has been huge.

- Smalls. Bedford, Daniels, Jones all looking dangerous and providing so much intensity around the ball. Daniels in particular has been buzzing around.

- Harvey Thomas. Only 5 disposals and apparently only going at 40% but I just love his composure. His body work for a slight 18 y/o is so good.

- Callaghan. Huge half, looks confident, taking the game on. Hopefully he doesn’t fade away.

- Green and Greene. Tom actually looking damaging tonight, and Toby likewise.

Not so good:

- Cadman. He’s just not impacting the game at all. It’s that tricky one, do you persist knowing he’s probably learning despite the poor form, or do you go for the safe option in Keefe? Let’s hope he does something in the second half but he’s looking like the sub option again.

- Defence looks suspect. Aleer had a much better quarter but he makes me nervous, even with ball in hand, he needs to speed up his decision making. Which is a tough thing to do, but more time at this level will help.

(Blue Vic team + Lime green Vic team) > Orange Syd/Cbr team.

We simply can’t get an even break.

Q1 frees = minus 5.
Q2 frees = net zero.

Even Doggie Brad Johnson going off at the umpires on Hogan’s Q2 disallowed mark.

We can win from here with 50/50 frees.

This half will be a battle of attrition - the team with fresh legs or less cramps will win.

I want someone to test Patrick Cripps

's shoulder legally. Ditto for Weitering.

 

[Section226]

Cadman looks like a player in that space who is too good for VFL but can't make the step up to AFL.

Hopefully it will click soon.

 

[BarryAglett]

Umpires cost us a 2-3 goal lead.
Great fightback after a disastrous start.

Run and dare returns and changes everything.

 

[fingercuts]

I’ve been up close to a bit of Harvey Thomas’s work. He’s a solid worker, doing well, great to watch.

I like his game. He gives it all. Another two years, he will be a very good small forward.

Cadman doing some good things that go unnoticed. Eg. He kept Weitering out of a contest where Hogan marked it.

 

[JC100]

If we can keep the pace on the game then we are a red hot chance.

 

[Section226]

Players came out to warm up for 2nd half.

Himmelberg just ran back to the rooms.

 

[Section226]

Those not at the ground, be thankful that you don't have to endure the screaming banshee on the microphone.

 

[Drummond]

HOGAN!!

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Jesse is on fire - maybe that mark the umpire robbed him of has motivated him

 

[Adam Giant]

Jesse with the sticky hands tonight looking very dangerous.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

And unbelievably we have taken the lead!!! The Giants will never surrender!

 

[Drummond]

There is Thomas!!

 

[Section226]

Himmelberg about to come back on.
