Chook

I think you'll feel ok this time next week.

If Jayden Hunt is available, we should play him.

Apparently some guy called "Sam May" beckons for Tom Hawkins next week, according to James Brayshaw. One of the competition's best indeed...

Try pushing Steven May in the face like that. Might need another elbow to get the job done.

Lol how do you miss that Dangerfield dig out of the pack as a throw.

We played right into their hands in the 1st half. I think we were afraid of them TBH. That fear must surely be totally gone by now. Speaking as someone who has feared the cats for 15 years, I don't anymore.

Just go at every opportunity next week vs the cats and there's no way they can stop it for the whole game. They look absolutely powerless now that the giants have thrown caution to the wind.

Mummy gives the Giant's a heartbeat. See, I told you all they should put Mummy forward and bomb it on his head 10 pages ago.

Won't matter. It's not the tiredness from week to week that matters, it's the tiredness at 3qt.

Game over. See ya next week Catters.

There was a patch a few years ago (I want to say it was the year before they made the Grand Final) where I legit thought he was the best player in the comp. Never seen anything like that from him since then.

Giants are on the fringes of what you would call "in it". They'd have no fear of being able to reel back the margin though, as long as they throw caution to the wind in the 2nd half. Take a leaf from Melbourne's book - win the clearances and stoppages, and pummel the ball forward at breakneck speed.

Crowd getting on the Giants' side looking for a contest.

Week singular, which would be enough. Can't wait for him to have no case to answer.

So you're saying Smith has a chance?

Ratagolea great mark.

Cameron throws the GWS player to the ground and doesn't get a finger on the ball. Play on.

Both these sides are at least 2 levels below Melbourne. Possibly 3. For reference, the Lions were a level below last week and would be up by 30 right now.

Giants back in it cos the cats insist on playing slow when they're absolutely dominating and the umps are just bursting to pay them a free any time they get it inside 50.

Not sure how that was a 50 against Hawkins but I'll take it.

Giants needed that goal to say the least. Both sides putrid though.

Giants should put Mumford at full forward and bomb it to him. At least they'll have something to go to.

Imagine Toby Green in this game. Absolutely different makeup to their forward line, even with Hogan out. What a costly thing for him to have done.
