Autopsy Round 5 2024 - GWS Giants vs St Kilda, 1.45 pm Saturday 13 April @ Manuka Oval

[Giant Strides]

Well, it's a foggy day in the nation's capital, but I'd expect it to start burning off soon for a sunny afternoon match. Might be a touch chilly to start, but is forecast to hit 21 degrees with light winds. Perfect conditions for a good running game, which is what GWS will be hoping to bring. I suspect St Kilda would be happy with a bit more of a defensive struggle, but they have selected a team capable of counter-attacking. Saints have a solid team, capable of winning if we don't control the game in the clinches, but equally Giants should have the team to overrun them if we play to our strengths and kick straight. Let's go, Giants!

 

[Colonial]

Crush them!

 

[Land of the Giants]

Absolutely ripper weather.

Our response to Ross Lyon:

 

[Giant Strides]

Pretty warm in Canberra right now. Hopefully Kingers has them fired up for today.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Peatling the sub

[Giant Strides]

Crowd is pretty full.

This injury is not good. Damn.

 

[Section226]

Foxfooty Director - you have every camera image on multiple monitors.

You had the opportunity NOT to choose the close-up of Taylor knocked-out, eyes wide open.

But you pressed the button anyway.

Idiot.

is OK, having seen Venables go down it was all too familiar seeing Sam go down.
Never good and hope it's just extra precaution.
Genuine good luck for the rest of the day.

Then panic, cause they haven’t shown him since.

This does not bode well for him.

Taylor Just about my favourite player. Hope he’s okay.

I guess Keefe comes back in. I feel like key backs is about the only area where there’s not a huge amount of depth. Same for most clubs though.

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

F#*k

 

[el_simo]

Taylor looked in a bad way, one of the worst concussions in recent times I think. Hope he is okay

 

[Section226]

Cone on Riccardi - run to the ball.

Don't wait for it to come to you.

That's why defenders continue to spoil the mark.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Our Canberra game is a sellout!!

. He's the best defender in the league and always a joy to watch how he goes about it

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Hey just popping in to say GWS have tweeted that Taylor is now conscious in the rooms and will be heading to hospital for further monitoring. Hope he recovers well and good luck for the game.

 

[Section226]

Errgggghhhhh.

O'Halloran with the blind kick out of defence straight to the opposition, then an obvious push in the back resulting in a goal.

 

[dlanod]

I saw it …. It was one the afl.com.au site …. He didn’t lift him off the ground @dlanod must be drinking
He also didn’t pin his arms and ended with just a hand around Andrew’s waist

He asked for the reverse, that's what you'd have seen if you watched Toby's tackle in reverse.

 

[norway blue]

All the best to Sam . Sounded very nasty.

said Sam went to Canberra hospital but was conscious- probably won’t travel back with the team

 

[108CAM]

Decided to pop in and say that my thoughts are with Sam and his family.
