Connor Stone slots one from 50m into the wind and it goes over the fence! I am excited what he can do at the highest level

Briggs' field kicking is amazing! He is absolutely dominating this game. Could end up with 60+ hitouts and 25+ touches

And if he doesn’t get a shot he will be somewhere else next season.
He's a tank out there.
Riccardi loves that end. 7 goals and counting...
wasteful 3rd quarter - 5:7
wasteful, wasteful, wasteful.
gotta agree, hearing a commentator with an english accent is weird - but I’m enjoying being able to watch the game at all.
Peatling really good
Bruhn ok
Briggs a monster
Fahey will play seniors this year
can see why Wher has been named an emergency
19 to 7 free kick count a disgrace from the maggots

Yep, after 14.1, a real let down.
Still, great to see the kids putting pressure on the players in first grade.
Riccardi unlucky with that last shot hitting the post.
really good win
did Briggs play the last quarter?
Seemed like Green was the lone ruck for the last half hour.

A nine-goal haul from Jake Riccardi has lifted the GIANTS to their fifth win of the VFL season, defeating the Northern Bullants by 110 points at Preston City Oval on Sunday afternoon.
Riccardi was the stand-out performer for the GIANTS, who bounced back following a disappointing draw against Sandringham last week to claim a 5.8 (38) to 23.10 (148) win.
Jacob Wehr (27 disposals, one goal) and James Peatling (28 disposals) were both impressive, with Zach Sproule, Conor Stone, Josh Fahey, Jarrod Brander and Xavier O'Halloran all likely to come into contention for AFL selection this week.
GIANTS VFL coach Damian Truslove credited the win to his side’s dominant opening quarter.
"We set the game up in that first quarter," he said.
"Our pressure was fantastic and we were really effective with our skills up forward.
"We finished the game strongly which was pleasing because it's been a challenge for us so far this season."
Truslove shared his assessments of the AFL and VFL listed players who played in the match.
AFL Listed Players:
5 Tanner Bruhn
31 disposals, 1 goal
Tanner dropped back to VFL level with a really good attitude. He hunted the ball really well and we were impressed with his running patterns off the ball.
10 Jacob Wehr
27 disposals, 1 goal
Continued his really good form in the VFL. He ran hard and used the ball well by hand and foot.
18 Conor Stone
17 disposals, 1 goal
It was good to get him back following injury. He ran hard both offensively and defensively and used the ball well.
20 James Peatling
28 disposals, 4 marks
Gave us a lot of offensive drive out of the back half and was hard and tough in the contest.
21 Leek Aleer
7 disposals, 1 goal
Had an important role down back. He defended first and was really good with his contested work in the air.
26 Jake Riccardi
9 goals, 10 marks
Jake had been close to a big performance for a few weeks now. His work rate was first class and he was extremely accurate all afternoon.
28 Zach Sproule
3 goals, 6 marks
Another player returning from a lengthy stint on the sidelines. He worked really hard in our front half and hit the scoreboard on the back of his good leading patterns.
29 Cameron Fleeton
13 disposals, 5 marks
Attacked the ball and opposition with aggression as per usual, and we were pleased with his involvement in our ball movement out of the back half.
31 Jarrod Brander
25 disposals, 1 goal
Played an important role on the wing and ran really hard.
32 Kieren Briggs
29 hit-outs, 22 disposals
Had to compete against two opposition rucks and did it really well. He gave our midfielders first use of the ball off the back of his impressive stoppage work.
33 Xavier O'Halloran
23 disposals, 1 goal
Hard and tough in the contest, Xavier's been a fantastic leader for us in the VFL. He really got us going in that first quarter.
34 Josh Fahey
27 disposals, 5 marks
Exciting ball use off half back. He was involved in a lot of our scoring chains and used the ball really well by foot.
35 Will Shaw
9 disposals, 1 goal
Looked dangerous in the first quarter and continues to run really good patterns as a high half forward.
46 Callum Brown
12 disposals, 4 marks
One of his better games this season. He defended first and had great offensive rebound off his good positioning.

47 Josh Green
10 disposals, 1 mark
Played as our second ruck, competed well at stoppages and led hard at the ball as a forward.
49 Sam Frost
12 disposals, 4 marks
Played an important and selfless defensive role with a good team-first attitude.
50 Billy Clark
17 disposals, 7 marks
Played on the wing and down back. He ran good patterns to help out the defence and was composed with ball in hand.
51 Ryan Hebron
13 disposals, 5 marks
Played forward and led up well at the ball really well. He puts a lot of defensive pressure on the opposition in the front half.
53 Bailey Stewart
16 disposals, 3 tackles
Played in the midfield and worked hard. He spread hard to outnumber the opposition at the stoppages across the ground.
54 Max Monaghan
11 disposals, 2 goals
Played forward this week, led at the ball well and his defensive pressure was good.
55 Kyle Veerhuis
4 disposals, 1 tackle
Played as a key defender in a selfless team first role and won or halved many critical contests.
63 Ricky Monti
9 disposals, 1 goal
Played as a small forward and looked dangerous with his energy. He kicked a really good goal and had plenty of opportunities.
64 Lachlan Benton
18 disposals, 1 goal
Lachlan's first game for the club, he found plenty of the ball and was really good in the contest.

VFL Team Announcement: Round 8
The GIANTS have named their team for round 8 of the VFL.

No Hill or XOH so 1 to be medi-sub and the other injury cover
And Flynn
Not sure how many former AFL listed players the Sharks will have but it will be a tough game and hopefully a few standouts on the Giants side

Angwin is a bust imo. 3 touches halfway through the third
are you watching it, or just going by the stats?
haven’t seen him since the first and the commentator has called the 23rd man a couple of times.
i suspect he’s injured

23rd man is always activated and is only a rule to promote the playing of youth. It doesn't matter around injury.... but still a good chance he is injured.
ok, didn’t know that - fact remains though, I haven’t seen Angwin in the field since the first quarter.
edit. Angwin back on now midway through the last. seems to be patroling down back

Watched the 2nd half and Sharks too strong all over the park
Same problems as the seniors
Too many missed tackles but to be expected with the bigger bodies on the Sharks team and this lead to too many Giants on the inside and Sharks on the outside so easy to transition
Briggs hopefully learnt from this but Crossley and Thurlow
Lacking run out of defence
Aleer needs this season and more to learn defensive skills
Plenty to work on for the rest of the season and hopefully the players develop at a good rate
No real standouts in the team and I will agree that Angwin was quiet but he does need to add size to be able to compete and if he wants to get a debut

Yeah he was playing alright.
Truslove Proud Despite First Loss of VFL Season
After a strong opening half, the GIANTS fell to Southport in the VFL.
Review from yesterdays game
Peatling and Brander the inbetweeners with not good enough for AFL and a step above reserves but really they only stand out a little bit due to the youth they are playing with. Only Hebron as a senior non listed player does make it hard although a few are past their overager year so i think that is where the clubs focus is this year
10 am Sunday v Werribee so hopefully an opportunity for a few players to improve on what they have shown this year. Wehr, Fahey, Fleeton, Briggs. Continuity is so important for these players development and the bye impacted a few players chances of getting a call up
Bruhn out with illness was odd, he was on the team sheet that morning so it must have been before the game
