Autopsy Round 20 2024 - Melbourne Demons vs GWS Giants, 7.30pm AEST Saturday 27 July, MCG

[Giant Strides]

Every game in the season is important, and every game in front of you is important. But this game, in Melbourne, at the MCG, against a wounded Demons side is so important because it's winnable, and it might give our boys the confidence to go on to bigger things. We have 3 wins on the trot in the bag, although not achieved as comprehensively as we might have liked against lower-ranked teams. But Melbourne is jostling for finals, and we're at a Stadium where we don't have a good record. We need to reprise last year's theme of "anywhere, anytime". Starting "at the G, on Saturday night".

Let's go Giants and win this one comprehensively!

 

[Colonial]

Taylor back makes our backline so much more obviously.
We get our pressure right and we will win.

 

[Callums_Guns]

Gawn is the worry today for us !

Need to minimise the impact especially when Briggs is off

 

[BarryAglett]

Melbourne will be looking to shut down Hogan, Toby and Whitfield.
We'll be looking to break through their team defence.
The expected rain might suit the Dees, but at least our boys have had plenty of experience in crappy weather.
A good thing we've got a lot of quality smalls!

 

[Giant Pete]

Riccardi has to make sure Lever doesn’t mark it. Hogan will do his job. Then let Toby and the smalls get to work…

 

[Colonial]

Geelong seem to have North in hand and can’t see the Lions losing to the Suns. We need to be on form for this one. Need the win.

[Giant Strides]

OK, time to fire up, boys. I want to see fight in the contest - let's turn around our clearance losses - as well as our running game hitting top gear.

Time to fire up the voice, too, for Giant YoYo - shout the boys home to a win, and enjoy your night at the 'G.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

The market literally has us at 50/50..a huge 8 point game that we need to win if we are serious top 4 prospects..Let’s Go Giants!

 

[Land of the Giants]

The crowd's as thin as a rake.

 

[Simmofreo]

Massive danger game with Gawn back. Need to play like it’s a final Giants

Hmmm

 

[MelbourneGWS]

The crowd's as thin as a rake.

I know the early bad weather didn’t help, but the huge 100k MCG capacity magnifies the poor crowd

 

[Land of the Giants]

Brilliant goal from Green.

- needed that after all the Melbourne offence over the first 7 minutes. Hopefully we settle

 

[ClockworkOrange]

The fix is already in.

Ball was out by at least a foot.

Lever takes out Hogan's left arm.

Obvious free missed by the umps.

C'mon VFL.

 

[Simmofreo]

Need the next goal.

 

[Simmofreo]

Why do we always start so badly? No doubt we will find our feet, but always playing by behind at 1/4 time
