Autopsy Round 7 2024 - GWS Giants vs Brisbane Lions, Thursday 25 April, 7.30 pm AEST @ Manuka Oval

[Land of the Giants]

Darcy Jones had some kind of debut.

Can't wait to see him cut up the Swans next week.

 

[BarryAglett]

Our most complete performance so far.

 

[Section226]

Kept Daniher and Hipwood goalless despite our best defender not playing.

Big plus for our backline that has been down and under some pressure in recent weeks.

 

[GWS Goose]

Nice view to the future.
It was our under 25's that killed it.
Very impressive.

 

[Section226]

Darcy Jones could well be a cult hero for the Giants as odd as that sounds.

Signing a kid's forehead

 

[UseR2006]

Congrats on the good win!
That Darcy Jones looks an absolute ripper!

 

[BarryAglett]

We didn't even activate Binga. Keeps him fresh for the Swans.

 

[Adam Giant]

Can’t drop Jones on that performance. A selection headache with Greene and Daniels to come back in.

 

[Giant YoYo]

Phwoar I love watching us, especially when we're on.

We haven't even fully clicked yet. Looking forward to mid season onwards when we do

Getting some more games under our debutants belts and we'll be dangerous.

 

[Giant Pete]

Holy s**t.

 

[Giant Pete]

That couldn’t have gone much better.
Peatling was great.
Callaghan was bog.
Jones was awesome.
Daniels had a week off.
Cogs, Taylor and Tubs back next week… not a bad few ins.
Who do we leave out?!

What a great selection problem to have - a champion team full of champions

 

[Section226]

Great to see Callaghan's second half of the game show what he is capable of.

Pinpoint passes opened the game up constantly.

Can be frustrating, but when he gets it all together, without doubt, a game changer / winner.

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

Enjoyed that.

 

[Adam Giant]

Who do we leave out?!

I’ll have a stab:

Taylor > Aleer
Greene > Peatling (back to sub)
Daniels > Wehr
Coniglio > Ward or O’Halloran

Some blokes will be unlucky this week for sure.

 

[Battlepants]

What an incredible showing that was! Exceptional performances from our players all across the ground.

Green and Whitfield racking up disposals. Callaghan with great run and 600+ meters gained. Briggs dominating in the ruck with clearances and hard ball gets. Himmelberg and Buckley super solid in defence. Peatling with a really good all-round performance and the kids Thomas and Jones playing with such great energy and skill.

The MVG is going to be bloody hard this week, I'd like to give points to all those players.

 

[Gadzorks]

So, based on a pre game commitment it turns out I'm now a token gws fan for the rest of the year. Unless I'm booed off your board.

Gotta have a team to cheer for in the finals series and the lions are not looking likely. Absolutely spent, nothing left and we aren't even half way.

Couldn't see a thread for other supporters, if you have one can you flick me to it.

I have a lot to learn about your players, hopefully it's a fun experience.

 

[Section226]

Stating the obvious but we are at a point where we can be absolutely sure injured players are right to come back.

Considering how well the team played today, I hope no one on the injury list over-does it with so much competition now for spots.

 

[Andre the Giant]

Statement game from Finn, we know he is elite, they know it now too.

Darcy Jones….wow, breakaway speed

Such a great team effort, so much connection, so much pride in defence and care.

Oh and one more thing. Shout out to that fat little recruiter from the Swans who likes to think he’s the smartest man in the room. Well the 2022 draft fu**ery which was designed to blow up our draft has yielded Josh Weddle to Hawthorn, Darcy Jones to us and Jacob Konstanty to them!

Well played fat conductor, the plan has delivered us a gem and your man has busted up the Captain’s shoulder

Link up with dlanod - He'll steer you right.

Dylan Jones

 

[Section226]

Edit: Hang on - I'm all confused now.

 

[Gadzorks]

Dylan Jones - dear oh dear.

Slap myself twice.

You've made me feel at home with not knowing players so thanks for the welcome.

 

[Cmarsh]

Briggs totally redeemed himself tonight.

 

[Section226]

No - you had me doubting myself thinking I had the wrong name.

All cool.
