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?

    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

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

    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?

    Hogan would be handy right now

    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.

    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

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

    no idea how they were 3-7

    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.

    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

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
