    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.

    Or North Melbourne relocate there. The Northern Kangaroos ...

    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.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
