Just read dimmas comments, gee he didn't hold back. I think he was a little frustrated & rightly so 

Mark Neeld vibes... where is veneer of mindfull/compassionate/empathic coach at Tigerland now?

How GWS have fallen.

Early season GF contenders

Reminds me of a few other teams

Each year just before round 1 I choose my Grand Finalists, Brownlow medalist and Coleman medalist. This year I chose a GWS v Blues GF. I felt smug after 7 rounds, but not now. GWS are a mile away from premiership contention. Swans v Blues looks the most likely now, although I reckon it might a year for a GF bolter like Dogs 2016, or Dees in 2021.

Are Carlton immune to being pinged for HTB or incorrect disposal?

Momentum shifts in modern football can be unbelievable, hope the Giants can keep it up. 

[Ethan Tremblay 31,388]

That was a [censored] mark to Hogan.

[Ethan Tremblay 31,388]

GWS making a comeback. Umpires: “hold my beer”. That non-mark to Hogan ruined  the Giants momentum.

Gee wouldn’t mind Bedford’s smarts, tagging capabilities and leg speed on our list. Where did the Giants find him 😉?

We wanted him to stay but he didn't. 

[Earl Hood 6,167]

Gee that Hogan bloke, a tall forward who can take a mark, would be handy in our forward line too! 

[Demon Dynasty 17,165]

I seriously miss Hogan.

You can't teach his contested marking craft and body work.

Most forwards just don't have it in their kit bag and rely mostly on burst speed, leading patterns, some agility, timing and blocks from others.

The stand and deliver that he brings is invaluable.

Tex & Hawkins the other two stand outs in this aspect atm when fit and on the park.

Yes true and maybe he left because we preferenced a couple of other small forwards ahead of him.

Really need Carlton to win this to help our finals chances. GWS don’t have an overly difficult run home.

Trying to watch the Rugby test, can't say it appeals to me at all.

Yeah well I prefer the Steven May and Premiership that we turned him into.

Get Hogan Now!

Are Carlton playing?

Barely touched the ball this qtr

Hogans set shot routine just went next level.

Briggs is giving TDK a bath. TDK looks so average right now.

I could see the rivalry alive between Clarko and Dimma. I didnt mind Harwick saying what he did. Better than getting learning in my view.

They are actually very close mates.

[titan_uranus 25,255]

Went into this round thinking Essendon, Port and GWS were the sides above us we wanted to aim to catch. 

Now it feels like it’s Collingwood, the Bulldogs and Gold Coast. 

Such is the evenness of this season. 

Which should be a reminder to all of us - don’t write us off. There’s still something to make of 2024 for us yet.

13 goals to 2 since quarter time forthe giants
