King looks a shell of himself.
To be fair delivery into 50 isn’t silver service
Marshall only mid capable winning clearance then it’s a long bomb dump to 50
We kick to packs all day
Giants hit up 15 metre short kicks into 50
We need a genuine forward coach - Harvey was a mid
The connection still won’t improve till we get better ball users up ground
But King stands ..doesn’t lead up at the ball carrier either
 
Shocking in every sense, the Giants havent been great but we have been terrible. Until our forward 50 entries and goal kicking improves we are a bottom 6 side.

Lyon & Misson can stick their heads as far as they like up each others backsides, but our injuries and suspensions will cost us any chance of playing finals this year.

To think we have a 5 day turn around, how bad is that game going to be.
 
Q3 in a canter
Saints got away with a quick start and threatened to actually hit the front, however, it didn't eventuate and Butler who had entrenched the thumb by this point got ejected for the tenacious Hugo Garcia, who promptly started showing people how to tackle properly in midfield. Sadly, this had the effect of the defense hanging back a little and with the transition still a bit shit, they started taking I50 marks to extend the lead back out and increase it to 29pts.

Giants 10.10.70 lead Saints 6.5.41

Every free against GWS there's dissent, throwing their arms up, comments towards the umpire.
Nothing, but one thing said in front of goal with 10 seconds to go, they give a free.

Really with this draw which is ridiculous, these stupid rules, the casual way umpires apply them from week to week, synthetic clubs like GWS and GC still getting academy kids nobody else can get etc, losing interest.
Went and mowed the lawn for 2nd and 3rd qtr.
We should realise we will never win a flag, the AFL stacking it against us.

5 day break against Collingwood didn't look bad after a tough Geelong trip
 
Byrnes goes hard to get a ground ball and gets pinged for it.

That rule is an absolute joke.
Absolute rubbish rule.
Because one player had his leg broken once.
Can anyone tell me what Ronnie was supposed to have done to get that ball considering he got there first?

And Max, when you get the ball
You line up for a shot. The worst is it doesn’t go through but at least you give it a go rather than try give it off to someone in a worse position.
 
King was great in the first three games but since getting suspended he's been awful.

I traded him into my Supercoach team a couple of weeks ago and the last two games he has been awful.

I will be trading him out next week even if he isn't injured.
 
We are just having a fumbly, skill error start to the season. Dunno how you fix that.
Players need space and also clean skills (from other teammate) to execute good skills, we have neither.. fix the space issue, stop the ultra flood, and train the players to take the game on, break tackles, kick to leads under pressure, handball to team mates streaming forwards.

But most importantly, invest in the midfield, you see how Brad Crouch helped us last 2 seasons,at least break even there. we give ourselves a chance. Apart from Dow, if we also brought in a genuine tap ruckman, then a Wines or Matt Crouch, it would have moved the needle, add on our developing young players.

No point having speed or players with skills if you can’t get win the ball CLEANLY and can give it to an outside players to execute cleanly.. We just rely on hack kicks and rushed handball to win clearances, no wonder the subsequent chain of kicks or handballs are filled with fumbles, hospital handballs.
