In what is touted as a 'Gaints v Who?' in media parlance as the vultures circle, many are wondering what the Sints will do in the bye and when will the police follow? All us fans know is that there will be one keen observer of what the Giants do;


We crossed to Ngunnawal for comment on the upcoming festivities, unfortunately it was midday and Canberrans were already off their faces, so, we instead looked at the ground and it was very grassy.

In AFL dithering about, things to watch this match include;

However, in a scene that shocked absolutely no one as this would require competence on the AFLs part, the Giants are also not celebrating anything, nor did they do anything of merit previously, as there is no update to anything they are fielding in this match as those at AFL house CBF. Do your own research FFS I'm busy swooning at Norths kids and draft hand to find more to give them.

So intrepid sports fans, tune in at 1:45pm in the far superior Australian Eastern time block of looking at the shadows cast by the sun and going "ah ha!" with epiphany to be one of the few that give a damn about his match for the spectacle as opposed to monetary values.

This review brought to you by the bug with a plug so the hub has context.

That is champagne preview StFly!

Come on Saints! Bring your best and beat the Mandarin Menace predenders

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Saints by 18 goals

 

[gubby88]

Take me down to the paradise city
Where the giants lose
And Steele is pretty
Oh please take me home

Whatever gave it away, the syntax errors, the plug, the fact that Canberra had grass?

Everyone is just lucky I didn't just crop in an episode of My Kitchen Rules.

 

[dudeintheswamp]

Well this is about as close as we get these days to the traditional Saturday afternoon timeslot, reminds somewhat of days gone by, except we have to go to Canberra.

Can't really see how we get this done, Giants obviously looking very good and with an almost nonexistent injury list. We do know the boss has a few tricks though, maybe we're more of a chance than the majority would think. At least the weather looks ok, mostly sunny with light winds. We'll need to start strongly to be any show you'd think.

 

[sammm]

so, most of us think we won't win, me included. what should we look for instead?

Yep - a traditional country footy game today.

I'm expecting a big crowd today so I got to the ground early, beautiful day, no chance of rain.

Got the ute in a prime spot on the wing (lounge set up on the tray!!), now its time to head down the street for some brekkie and coffee, then I reckon it will be time for and settle in to watch the magoo's.

I reckon I'll be picking up the ute tomorrow morning.

Go Saints

 

[BrutThough]

All logic says they should smash us.

But I think we can keep it close and then who knows, anything can happen.

 

[Dr Spaceman]

Need to keep dancing our way to be big dance.

GO SAINTS!!!!

fan club.

If we kick straight today it’s another Manuka loss for the Giants coming up.

 

[Saintbloke]

I would like to see Max kick more goals as a KPP FF today, and few more goals out of our midfield, no excuses.

 

[okeydoke7]

For no logical reason, I have a good feeling about today.

Feel like we are a chance.

 

[borderbarry]

GWS are not unbeatable, just because they are yet to be beaten.

 

[NoisyMinor]

Quietly confident we've pre-booked the team for colorectal rejuvenation surgery.

 

[The Jack]

Smash the plastics please. Right the wrong of last September.

 

[Armoooo]

If we score over 50 and lose by less than 30 ill be pleasantly surprised.

Can't see us getting close tbh. GWS midfield and forwardline are connecting beautifully and I just don't see us having any answers.

RTB our most important piece today, if we're to have any chance of being competitive it will be from him forcing the game on our turns.

 

[Jade Buddha]

If game for our captain in the middle. Would like to see us get our connection and speed back.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Lovely snap from the boundary by Collard. GWS brought their own commentators.

 

[Remboy]

Can’t wait to see Hugo’s game face. I hope GWS are wearing brown undies.

 

[god_of_the_universe]

Only way to have half a chance is to have the game played on our terms and minimize the turnovers.

Still think it'll be the Giants by 16

 

[ScrappyDo]

If game for our captain in the middle. Would like to see us get our connection and speed back.

We need some cattle back. Everything will be a scrap till then.

 

[MickG88]

so, most of us think we won't win, me included. what should we look for instead?

I don't believe that at all.
We beat them up there the last two times we have played at Manuka Oval.
Who have they beaten this year? North and Eagles.
We looked good in the second half (hopefully a turning point)
I think this is a 50-50 game for us and if we are serious, it's one we shouldn't lose

 

[StFly]

Just for ref, we are 4 out of the last 5 against them, if you look at stats, we should beat them but....

Half the side is no longer playing with us over that time period, so, is a bit hard. But...

It is Manuka, and an oval, so we might do well as they generally suck arse up there also since Western Sydney to slightly south is a bit iffy. I dunno, grass might be different there...

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Breaking news that a ufo has landed in Canberra. 22 Greys have disembarked looking for their leader.
