    Hogan in fine fettle this year.

    Looks super fit and focused.

    Those sticky mitts really make a difference.

    Considering the good crowds they are getting in the nation's capital I wonder if it's worth moving the Giants down there full-time. Canberra Giants also sounds so much better that Greater Western Sydney. 

    Would have to name them the Frost Giants.

    Anyway, those good crowds are influenced a bit by a general scarcity of top-level football. Supporters of fifteen* other clubs will get along to see a game even if they don't care much for the competing clubs on the day.

    *do you really think anyone in Canberra would support Gold Coast?

    Anyone remember what happened late September the last time there was a draw on Anzac Day?

    Carlton won the premiership

    My partner just got back from the ‘G (bombers fan)

    She said she’s never going to the footy again, the Collingwood supporters were so disgusting. 

    She left her seat with 10 minutes to go because she genuinely felt threatened regardless if they won or lost.
     

    For context sake, we have a friend who works in the corporate functions team for the pies, so we occasionally get tickets among Pies supporters.

     

     

    Shocked! ....not really, this is but a sample of what's going to be on KB match.

    Or Canberra could become the 20th team?

    Still, if this game was played in western Sydney tonight they'd be lucky to get 4,000 people through the turnstiles. It would be great for a national competition to have Canberra join Tasmania in the competition.

    We dont have the talent pool to cover 18 teams, let alone 20.

    Merge the two AFL clubs in GWS and GC, relocate them to Canberra?

    Or just move the Giants there permanently then play 3 games in West Sydney.

    It would make more sense than Darwin but they've just mentioned on the broadcast that there are 6,000 GWS members in Canberra so it might be easier to grow that figure than ask the locals to switch teams.

    good game this. Lions should be ahead but inaccuracy hurting them.

    Anyone got a theory about what side winning this GWS/Brisbane game is better for the Dees?

    I think Giants win is better, as I think it makes it too hard for Brisbane.

    The Canberra Sun Giants 😆

    Allow me to continue with my obsession re commentators selectively calling certain players by their first + last names ...

    Harris Andrews, Harris Andrews, Harris Andrews ....

    As previously noted, they do it more with players with first names that are more like surnames. 

    Thank you for your interest.

    Exactly, just flip the current script. They can play Collingwood, Carlton and Richmond up there so the place looks half full for tv.

    Agree, HBT. If Brisbane lose tonight it is very tough for them to be top 4 at the end of the home and away season. And they won't win it without that advantage.

    Yep, for sure. Would be great to see the Lions drop out.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
