and Finn Callaghan to take over the midfield. With Bedford and Peatling as support.
The old guard of Cogs and Kelly are injured and might be a nice injection but it's up to Tom And Finn for the rest of the season.
When we flicked the switch against Carlton we were winning clearances and getting the ball in long....and scoring.
Generating all our play from the back line isn't sustainable. They will always get a look before us

Congrats to Binga on his 100th game milestone today. Well earned.

Also, at the beginning of the year I posted in the milestone thread the players who would/could set records for games played in their respective jumper numbers. I broke it down into 4 categories - should (Riccardi & XO) - might (Green & Preuss) - possible (Faye & Derksen) and finally “mathematically possible but highly unlikely”

In this last category I placed our extremely young Auskick looking pick 59 Harvey Thomas, who needed 18 games to pass Zac Sproule in the number 28. I mean, obvious right? Pick 59, looks like a schoolboy, lots of more highly rated and even experienced talent ahead of him. Mathematically possible, sure, but… 18 games? Can you blame me?

Well today he becomes the most capped player in the club’s (short) history to play in the #28.
So congrats also to the Milky Bar Kid* on breaking that record. Whodathunk?

No late changes

Wind is next level here today. Hopefully stadium provides a bit of protection from the wind on field.

At least it's sunny so I'll take that.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Win and we could finish as high as 2nd - lose and we will be out of the 8 by the end of the round. A game we should win in such a close competition, against a side that has never won away this season.

Also hoping for a 10k+ crowd….

Let’s Go Giants!

 

[Giant Strides]

C'mon boys, let's go and win!

Not quite, but they’re giving free tickets to anyone still having issues at the Member enquires booth.

Mac Andrew on. Darcy Jones is a bit of a miss match.

 

[Land of the Giants]

They've come to play, that's for sure.

Hope Cummings injury is not serious - X replacing him

Another soft tissue injury.

Toby - made his own space in a telephone box for that goal.

 

[Giant Pete]

What’s the centre clearance differential? My God our centre clearance game all year has been abysmal.

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

Free kicks

Q1 - 4-4
Q2 - 6-1 to the Suns

 

[Battlepants]

Luckily, the umpires can't kick the goals for them too

Dance Cam can go the way of the dodo.

 

[Land of the Giants]

Toby!

GOTY!

 

[Giant Strides]

Toby! You little beauty!

 

[Giant Strides]

FMD - commentator "played for the free" - no, Binga got taken out, high tackle, without the ball - but no free kick.

 

[Del208273]

Main screen at the ground is playing up badly.
Blue screen of death would be awesome!

 

[Giant Gutsache]

That just sums up XO.
Goes as hard as anyone, but brain fades let him down.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Geez if they were kicking properly, we would be in trouble
