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

[Drummond]

Great start to the quarter! Breeze died again btw.

 

[Drummond]

Very very impressive quarter so far!

 

[Colonial]

This is more like us

 

[Section226]

XOH with the usual one good thing for the quarter.

Everything else is below par.

And I'd drop Whitfield on today's performance.

 

[Orange Agent]

We basically kicked that one for them.

Agree with this.

His gut running in the last has been good. Midfield starting to get involved finally.

 

[Orange Agent]

Id drop Wehr.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

In the end a win is a win is a win. Untidy but we still walk away with the 4 premiership points

 

[Drummond]

TOBY!!

Callahan has been huge this quarter!

 

[Land of the Giants]

Brilliant goal.

 

[Orange Agent]

That was globetrotters

 

[MelbourneGWS]

5 for Toby - Welcome back Toby!

 

[Section226]

Dare to say the most unfulfilling 5 goal win I've seen.

 

[BarryAglett]

Happy to bank that win and keep us on edge for the Saints.
Credit to the Suns for bringing it and making us work hard to beat them.

 

[Orange Agent]

Win is a win, Suns played well, we were a bit off. Take it to the bank.

 

[Colonial]

 

[Drummond]

Id drop Wehr.

A bad fumble in the last and a kick OOF but otherwise thought he was a good link-man.

 

[Colonial]

Dare to say the most unfulfilling 5 goal win I've seen.

Yeah feel a bit empty with that win.

 

[Giant Strides]

All credit to the Suns, they played well. Some really good performances from their less experienced guys - Mac Andrew, Bailey Humphrey, Sam Clohesy & Jed Walter in patches. We had said that we expected Suns to stick with us for the first half ... well they stuck with us for a good three quarters and a bit. Only in the last did we manage to squeeze away. Our guys were a bit lacklustre - I think some was self-generated, and some from the Suns playing well. Some good highlights, but mixed with some poor efforts.

In the end, Toby dragged us over the line was an excellent performance. Jesse was good, 4 goals, and a bunch of nearly marks. Cogs came good after the first quarter. Briggs improved too - well beaten in hitouts, but grabbed 9 clearances to Witts' 3, so a solid result. But definitely several players down. Kingers better work out how to get them to back to 100% effort for next week's Manuka game.

 

[Battlepants]

I'm pretty satisfied with that win, more or less what I expected. Suns stuck with us for most of it but in the end our experience and talent won out while their young players fell of a bit. Far from our best performance but we we got the win and we're 4-0 to start the seasons which is amazing. Especially given how slow we usually start.

Toby had a great performance but unfortunately I'd say he almost certainly gets a week for that tackle on Mac Andrew. Might be an opportunity to debut Darcy Jones in his place.

Yes, unfortunately that’s what the commentators were saying too - Toby out for a week

 

[Colonial]

Nice

 

[GWS Goose]

Think we run over them at the end.

Will be a fight/shootout for the first two quarters.

Pretty accurate in the end

 

[GWS Goose]

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

Has smashed our forward line.

Plenty of intercepts, but he also had 10 turnovers himself.
An attractive mixed bag in reality

 

[GWS Goose]

A bad fumble in the last and a kick OOF but otherwise thought he was a good link-man.

Agree he sent in about 4 really good inside 50's that led to 3 goals.
