Giants should comfortably beat the Saints

Saints are one of the worst finals teams i’ve seen

I’ve got a cheeky couple on them for the flag.

pace pace pace Bedford 

Goal Bedford 

thanks Goody for ignoring Toby so much that he left the club 

clearly has pace and goal sense … but goody preferred Spargo ahead of Bedford (ffs)

It’s a good point - but is it Goodwin’s fault or the match committee?

[DubDee 26,385]

looking like a 10 goal blowout

so much for the Saints defence

Giants and Blues are dangerous to face in finals. the 2 form teams playing like they nothing to lose 

[BDA 23,031]

Rowan marchall a very good player 

[BDA 23,031]

GWS far better. Ball movement much slicker. They’re mids on top as well. Could be a long day for the saints

Hope kozzie is watching ....

[Dee Viney Intervention 1,999]

Hope our coaches and list management are watching the giants and see the importance of an outside game. We are all inside no outside. Their ability to win contest and spread and ball movement into a forward line that has motion and space whether it be fast or slow ball movement is a thing to behold. They are also very disciplined in their roles talls doing what talls should do and smalls doing what smalls should do.

Haven't been watching, could the G's actually do some damage next week?

[loges 6,767]

Hogan would be handy right now 

[dazzledavey36 55,983]

Toby Bedford and Jesse Hogan would look great in our forward line...

They could, it's like Collingwood from Rd 1 to Rd 10.

They'll be playing Port, who is not that strong at home in finals.

[ElDiablo14 5,053]

MCG is as silent as a graveyard at midnight.

[Bring-Back-Powell 15,346]

A likely Port v GWS semi should be a cracker.

The transformation of GWS from April/May to now is phenomenal.

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,477]

Just as the Essendon players are there today watching the game so should Goodwin. A fwd line of Hogan, Lloyd. Daniels, Bedford, Riccardi and only the one top end talent in Greene. Quick ball movement and kicking to a player’s advantage.

Bedford whilst given some opportunity in 22 along with many others from Casey were ignored in particular after the 1st final loss to the Swans & made no changes to play the Lions

Hogan was gone mentally hence why Freo moved him on & Penny finally dropped & out pick 6 got May & rest is history

Whoever we draft must be an elite kick.

absolutely. defence is fantastic and they are quick and clean through midfield and attack 

no idea how they were 3-7

[Demonsone 2,050]

Saints look gone but they should be playing at Marvel have given up home ground advantage, would the Afl make GWS to play at a different stadium if they were hosting a home final???

If the AFL wanted the other team to win then yes they would.

[Bring-Back-Powell 15,346]

What’s the record margin that a club has pegged back in a final?

Essendon- 7 goals in 1993?

Was this a portent of what was to befall the Swans tonight?

 

Love your work WCW but I'm sorry to inform you the quality of the crepe paper used in each team's banner does not portent the future.

Good response from the saints. It was looking like it was going to be a rout so fair play to them for getting back into this game

Maybe some team will get up from the Canvas this week.
