FWIW its worth Thomas regarded it as a compliement. He's said more than once even recently that we play the ultimate team game out of all the clubs.
Ahhhh so now I understand. We've been not much chop for three years it's just our ultimate team game that gets us by.

Hasn't footy always been a TEAM game? Individuals play tennis or golf.

Got to laugh. They still refuse to do a positive story on us.

Here is the side the Giants brought to the MCG for the 2017 preliminary final:

Zac Williams, Phil Davis, Heath Shaw
Nick Haynes, Adam Tomlinson, Aidan Corr
Dylan Shiel, Stephen Coniglio, Lachie Whitfield
Toby Greene, Harrison Himmelberg, Callan Ward
Steve Johnson, Jonathon Patton, Brett Deledio
Rory Lobb, Jacob Hopper, Josh Kelly
Tom Scully, Tim Taranto, Nathan Wilson, Matt de Boer

Changes from that team to this Saturday's likely lineup:

Out: Shiel, Coniglio, Ward, Johnson, Patton, Deledio, Lobb, Scully and Wilson
In: Taylor, Finlayson, Keeffe, Perryman, Daniels, Cameron, Mumford, Reid, Kennedy

(Working on the assumption Bobby Hill and Daniel Lloyd will make way for Greene and Whitfield.)

Despite being two years' less experienced back then, I'd argue the 2017 side was significantly more talented than this Saturday's team is shaping up to be.

Congilio Ward Lobb vs Taylor Finlayson Cameron

Cameron is of real concern to me.

Dangerous player.

He isn’t as quick as they make him out to be.
He is very good at moving up and down the ground.
One on one Astbury can cover him, but when he goes up the ground Broad needs to go to him.
He loves to Baulk. if he gets caught early on it would put him off.

Who covers the 3 talls plus Greene if he is forward too Zips?

Robbo's hatred of the Marlion Pickett selection last night was blatent on 360. He was fuming because it was such a good story that they had to lead with it.

At one point Dermie says "So he's number 50?" as they show footage of Pickett clearly displaying his number at training. Pause and Robbo grunts out "oh I dunno!?" before Dermott goes on to talk up the debut story as exciting.

Watched about two minutes of the show last night, years supply of that dribbler Blobbo n his mate Wankley. Nearly as bad as having teeth pulled.

Got the front bar recorded for after.

Kermit and Blobbo asking Chocco questions like quacks. He finishes the response and there's a pause and a glance before the next question.

Blobbo: "Don't worry about Richmond, we're talking about your coaching" ..........too hard to soak it in Blobbo.

Fagan said their games against GWS and Richmond were close ,

Richmond May have beat us by x amount of goals but it was closer than that

We had the bears on toast after half time.
Bears dominated the 4th over GWS and couldn’t kick a goal.

Same with Collingwood. They had the ball taking up residence in their forward 50 in the last 5 or 6 minutes last week, but just couldn’t get the job done. People are conveniently forgetting that the Giants nearly blew a 6 goal lead in a prelim. They’re tired physically and emotionally. They’ve got a couple back (one will be below his best), but they’re taking injured players in.

Fagan is muppet.
He sits on the boundary close then any other coach but still has no idea how his team gets beaten.
We slapped them in the final and the rebound game the following week they looked like a deflating balloon.

P.s why was he given COTY??

The funny thing is Fat guts has tipped us to win by 6goals.
The highest winning margin by any so called expert.
King tipped GWS
Johnson tipped GWS.
Healy tipped GWS

I can understand that. We've not been in great form, but still been winning. Either we play 4 quarters this week, or we might struggle. I don't think we can bank on coming from behind after half time every week. The one thing in our favour though I guess is GWS have played the extra game and are banged up a bit.

I just hope it's not close. Don't think my ticker can take it.

Top show.
When they had McLachlan on that was the best.
Especially when Mick was asking him how is Chamberlain getting a gig in the GF.:rotfl2

I was surprised how much they ripped into him.
But to his credit he a laughed and gave a few back.
