There have been some cracking games so far in Gather Round, and a couple of blowouts. Which category will our game fall into?

for this clash, and could be categorised as going "small", particularly in their forward line. It will be interesting to see how the respective strategies play out on the narrow Norwood Oval.

Win, and we keep in the top 5, lose and we will stay in that congested area that might be deemed "bottom 8, or fighting to get in". Hopefully Kingers has the lads primed for a fight.



C'MON GIANTS!!

Are we staying in Adelaide for the game against the Crows next Saturday?

We're probably better off staying put.

Good morning guys,

Was just wondering who your travelling emergency(s) are this week? (SuperCoach related question) Did Leake travel, and do you think he will be game day emergency?

Good question. However, with no VFL game, I would not be surprised if we actually brought all 3 with the team.

We're probably better off staying put.

I am pretty sure Kingsley mentioned in an interview we're coming back to Sydney during the week. They prefer the consistency of training in Sydney and say the flight to Adelaide isn't a big deal.

 

[BarryAglett]

Briggs v Marshall will be huge. The respective half back lines are excellent, everywhere else we hold an edge on paper.
Effort and system will get the job done.

[Danny88]

I think the saints have surprised a few this year so it will be interesting to see how we stack up against them at a neutral venue

We look a little vulnerable at clearance imo. I’m still hoping the forward line clicks with more contributors this week. I hope I can see stringer and cadman bag a couple to really highlight the multi pronged attack we hoped to see in preseason

Was going to say, I see McMullin out there!

Go boys!

Looks like a nice little ground.

Looks like a nice little ground.

It’s a beautiful little ground, it’s the home ground of my SANFL team. So I know this place well, I’m here every other week.

Is there any noticeable support for us?

 

[Drummond]

I’m sitting amongst a few Giants fans. Quite a few Saints fans around the place.

Super hot conditions, a slight breeze every now and then but not much to speak of.

 

[MelbourneGWS]

C’mon Giants! This game in Adelaide (and next week’s game against Adelaide in Adelaide), could be pivotal in whether we end up in the top echelon of the finalists. We have won our last two games against St Kilda, so hoping that our winning streak against St Kilda extends to a hatrick!

 

[Cmarsh]

Like Daisy Thomas with a badge saying 'Giants are my second team'.

 

[Colonial]

 

[Adam Giant]

Saints look the better team at the moment. Some poor mistakes early from us helping them.

 

[Drummond]

Thomas sublime kick to Greene.

Disgraceful 50, so weak.

 

[Colonial]

We are a step behind them.

Also the umps have gone full VFL God mode.

 

[Drummond]

Riccardi shocking. Has Jones on and his kick gets smothered. Goal other way.

 

[sydney_gws]

I think we are not playing well. Time to wake up.
Saints are a fair bit better than last year.

 

[Colonial]

Package gets his first.

 

[orange tsunami]

The package is finally on the board

 

[MelbourneGWS]

Stringer’s first goal for us!! Hopefully now the deluge will happen
