[Rab D Nesbitt 7,568]

You just know that 90% of those GWS supporters in the crowd must be player family members.

A lot of hindsight Harry’s in this thread

[DubDee 22,792]

that 50 to the Giants scares me. The Saints guys is meant to hear Stand from the ump from 30m away with a big loud crowd. 

that should never be a 50. change the rule now

[Demonsterative 2,459]

Flynn has been very good today. Is he gettable? Notably not 😞

[DubDee 22,792]

Saints still have no stars

playing finals does them no favours

they need elite talent 

[Rab D Nesbitt 7,568]

Saints one and done 😊

[spalding 1,119]

At the station with a herd of saints fans. They need a hug.

Narrative on 7 now changed to how brave the Saints have been. Spare me, they have been [censored].

The Saints have been boring and wont be missed but I won’t trash talk their finals exit until we beat the blues and save ourselves from another straight sets exit 😬

Even the cheer squad has a sign that reads ‘I’m definitely not an AFL employee’.

[DubDee 22,792]

on a positive note - how good is it not be seeing those greased up fool in blue and white hoops play this weekend?

not to mention hawks, WC, bombers etc

[DubDee 22,792]

AFL were on airtasker all week getting the Giants ‘fans’ to turn up

[BW511 2,379]

The giants play bloody good football, good to watch and their top end is absolutely elite

When in Melbourne they book the broom cupboard at the Mountain View Hotel for after game functions.

Tom Green pick 10 in that seriously good 2019 draft.

Giants are handy

He’s a gun. He’s absolutely massive too. He’s only going to keep getting better.

The giants theme song is very catchy

Shocker of a 1st finals week.

Coll and Blues winning by a kick  GWS looking dangerous Bedford kicking goals  WTF

All i need now is for Lions to win.

That #&@%## McRae can wipe that smerk off his face. Pies obviously had a plan to get one of our mids.

Result? Brayshaw obliterated and JVR suspended.

Maynard?  Tuesday He gets weeks.  Thursday  50/50 he gets off on appeal assuming hes suspended. It was all just an unfortunate misunderstanding.  Water under the bridge.  0 weeks.

To be fair did anyone think they’ll make finals? 

[dees189227 11,429]

The poor giants cheersquad. They try there best to be heard. But I'd rather hear them then the ferals chanting Collingwood. 

But good on them for showing up. Even had giants fans in the mcc

It's amazing how many have forgotten that we didn't let him go. We offered a three tear contract and Toby asked to be traded because he believed he could not break into our side. GWS contacted Tobys management and asked to meet when they knew Hill was leaving. 

[Swooper1987 2,943]

GWS have some genuine A graders.  They are a very good team.  Kingsley has done a fantastic job.  Whoever they get next week will know they have played a game.

Chandler's game against Willy was pretty decent i thought.  Will probably need to kick the door down to get another look though me thinks after his very ordinary first up performance in Rnd 9 vs the Blues last season.

I liked Bedford's first up game this year.  Looked more switched on to the high end tempo of AFL and brought some serious pace and reasonable finish at the highest level.  However, he pretty much only played half a match so would need to see a chunk more and playing a large part of a match before being convinced he is ready.

Laurie i haven't seen enough of of late at VFL level to say.

If i had to pick one who is more ready out of the three i'd probably say Bedford but not with a high degree of confidence.

Has shown signs of brilliance in some of his games and hasn't had a real run at it given he's later in the pecking order behind Spargo & Kozzie.

Some of his ground ball gets under pressure are as clean as i've seen.  Same goes for the finish.  This bloke knows where the goals are and is pretty accurate on conversion.  Bit of a rarity nowadays.

A good back up for Kozzie in my view and an up and coming option if we need to go with three smalls depending on match ups. 

BUGGER OFF BOMBERS...NO TRADE!!

It will all depend on what they give him, if he gets two he can fight and win but if they give him the four or five that's being talked about there is no way he gets off on appeal. PS if he only gets the two it was prearranged anyway.

Bedford played exactly as we thought we would.   Pace.  Pressure. Goalscoring. After being sub for 8-9 games and dropped , he wanted to be given a chance. Goodwin and others seriously got this one wrong imv.  He always looked like a player.  This is not hindsight.  We called it out over the past 3 years when he was on our list.
