Autopsy Round 18 2023 – Adelaide Crows vs GWS Giants, Saturday July 15, 7.40pm AEST, Adelaide Oval

[Giant Strides]

Simple assignment for GWS - win. Fellow finals aspirant, 10 vs 9, win and we stay on track for an unlikely finals appearance. Lose and while it's not impossible, it becomes harder. If we think we're good enough, we need to prove we're good enough.

Crows have been very good this year at home, so it's a difficult game to win, especially having lost our gun mid in Tom Green

. But good teams find a way to win. Let's go Giants, run them off their feet from the D50, and tackle like crazy.

There's an error in the team below: with Tom Green

out it's J Wehr who comes in, not C Stone as per the sheet.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Hoping for an upset but Adelaide in Adelaide have been formidable winning 7 of their last 8 matches this year, with that loss a one point loss to Collingwood. It will be a hard game for us, especially with Tom Green

’s unavailability. This is probably the second hardest of our remaining games this season (an Adelaide game against the rampant Port is the hardest). Let’s go Giants, and hopefully we will celebrate Whitfield’s 200th game today with a great win.

 

[PaythePerryman]

LFG.
Toby time!

 

[Giant Pete]

If we turn up with the right attitude, we have the players and method that can get the result.

 

[PaythePerryman]

It's certainly going to be entertaining! Surely the belief is high at both clubs. Tom Green

out hurts but I still think we have the cattle and gameplan to win this. Our backline has been so solid recently. That's in part to the pressure we are putting on up the ground.
Feels like a final.

 

[Colonial]

Will miss the game, hopefully some great highlights in orange to watch in the morning.

 

[captainMyCaptain]

Dropping like flies

 

[Giant Pete]

****.

 

[JC100]

Dropping like flies

Was stone ever in to be an out

 

[BarryAglett]

Callaghan out is huge as I'm sure he was going to rotate heavily in the middle.
This stuff about Stone being named/not named is confusing.

 

[PaythePerryman]

Was stone ever in to be an out

No.
So Cadman in I think is actually a plus with their backline.
Obviously you'd rather have Finn instead of Angwin on the wing but it's not a nightmare.

 

[Giant Strides]

Was stone ever in to be an out

No.

But Callaghan is a blow.

Team is unbalanced a bit now. That's going to make winning pretty hard, but, they have to stick to their game plan, and who knows?

Play Toby in the midfield more, is what will happen.

 

[Orange Agent]

Full on backs to the wall stuff now.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

What’s happening to our players with these injuries in the last couple of days, after a relatively great run recently? Callaghan was one of just 5 Giants who had played all games this year. Up against it

 

[domologue]

Let's GOOOOOOOO!

 

[Land of the Giants]

Not the start we wanted.

 

[BarryAglett]

We look off early.

 

[Gigantic]

BROWN!

Fantastic 30 seconds from him. Some ruck work, a tackle and rewarded with a goal.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Toby!! And just like that we’ve taken the lead!

 

[domologue]

I hate to harp on about Umps...

... but that call at quarter time was just...

 

[Orange Agent]

Take a 5 point margin as a win, some awful play in that qtr. Defence is getting slaughtered.

 

[Big Stinky Monk]

Tilthorpe had no intention to do anything other than play for the free. Ump fell for it hook, line and sinker

 

[sydney_gws]

We should be leading I think. Green, OHalloran, and Callaghan out might just be that loss of class that costs us. Should have given Derksen a game maybe?

 

[BarryAglett]

Take a 5 point margin as a win, some awful play in that qtr. Defence is getting slaughtered.

Defence getting slaughtered means the mids are getting beaten...again.
