Autopsy Round 4, 2024 - GIANTS vs GCS, 12.30 pm AEST April 7th, Adelaide Hills

[BarryAglett]

Midfield is getting obliterated.

They are being embarrassed.

 

[Section226]

Briggs and Coniglio in particular need to lift.

Not uncommon, but if the Giants are harassed, they tend to get very sloppy.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Toby seems to be back to normal transmission- maybe getting extra sleep with his child presumably in Sydney?

 

[Land of the Giants]

We're being challenged, which is just what we needed.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

We're being challenged, which is just what we needed.

As long as we win in the end

 

[Orange Agent]

There's no run from defence. Dunno what Ash is doing. Whitfield has had a lot of it but it's not the line breaking stuff you'd expect. XOH really needs to settle before kicking, it's always been an issue but it's never really improved.

 

[Section226]

Foxfooty's half-time coverage has been all Gold Coast so far.

Giants are not playing anywhere near their best, but ahem, there's 2 teams playing and they are in front.

 

[Colonial]

Midfield has been woeful. Green having a poor one. Cogs too.
Briggs getting owned.

2nd quarter def our worst quarter so far this year.

The good part is we are still in front.

Spot on. Whitfield is a concern for mine. So many turnovers these days. Does he overestimate his abilities these days? Ash is disappointing. No run at all.

 

[Orange Agent]

Don't like going unchanged this early in the season, need to keep hunger for spots up. A few are raising their hands to miss next week.

 

[Drummond]

Max Andrew is killing us. I’d be getting Riccardi on him and tell him drag him away from the play and don’t let him intercept everything.

 

[Section226]

Mac Andrew should get 3 Brownlow votes, irrespective of the result.

Has smashed our forward line.

 

[Colonial]

Way way way to many stupid passes and basic skill errors.

 

[Drummond]

Mac Andrew should get 3 Brownlow votes, irrespective of the result.

Has smashed our forward line.

Said the same thing, easily the most influential player.

I blame that goal on Lachie Ash’s awful handball to the feet of a teammate.

 

[Giant Strides]

Skills have been poor today. Dropping marks, missing handpasses, inaccurate kick passes. (Strangely, goalkicking has been accurate.)

 

[Colonial]

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Local boy Peatling for Thomas

 

[Section226]

It's the game-after-the-bye curse.

How can a team seemingly lose 50% of their skills in a short space of time?

Yes, Gold Coast are playing extremely well, but our skills are terrible at times.

 

[Colonial]

Mind not in the game

 

[Colonial]

Another meh quarter.

Need to really wake up in the 4th

The Suns are also coming off the bye.

 

[Section226]

The Suns are also coming off the bye.

Seems to be a constant issue with the Giants tho,

Something the coaching staff hasn't been able to resolve, again.

 

[Drummond]

Another meh quarter.

Need to really wake up in the 4th

Wind dropped right off that quarter, and now it’s really picked up just as the Suns come home with it. I honestly can’t see the Giants holding on, really hope I’m wrong.

Small forwards aren’t in the game, Andrews is rebounding everything and midfield getting smashed. Briggs has copped a bath. A lot of poor football today. Cadman gone MIA.

Huge quarter from Cogs, what a lift from him. Unfortunately too many guys well down today.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Still ahead despite not playing at our best - need the patented Kingsley motivational speech to play the game out strongly and win
