By the way, if Corey Durdin wants to be taken seriously as a small forward, then when he is 15-20 metres in the clear and has another 15-20 metres of empty space in front of him, then he just has to kick the goal. FFS, take a bounce, run in a little closer and naikl the screwing thing !!!

His primary role in the team is to kick goals because he won't get too many opportunities to do so and that was an unforgivable miss.

And if Kemp thinks it is acceptable to try the sideshow kick at goal only to hit the point post when there was 2-3 of our forwards well in the clear closer to goal, then he needs one hell of a spray from the coaching staff. I really like the guy but that was immature and a low-percentage play.

Don't be under any misapprehensions here, we were horrible in the first half. They applied some serious pressure and we once again fumbled & bumbled. Kicking for goal was atrocious as was the delivery into the forward line, same issues that cost us the game against the Crows.

The fact that Voss had to send Curnow deep into defence late in the second to try and stem the bleeding was a tell-tale sign of howbad we really were.

After half-time, we started to apply the pressure and bit by bit we edged our way back into the contest and as our confidence grew, we started to run all over them.

It was a very good win and one we just had to register after last week's letdown.

Lots of good players for the second half, way too many passengers, frauds & flat-footed onlookers in the first.

Somehow, our guys have to find that ferocious gear from the first bounce instead of halfway through the match.

Must acknowledge that sensational feat of pure athleticism from the Giants defender Aleer who spoilt McKay in a marking contest after an incredible leap that came from nowhere.

Bring on next week please.

Quote from: ElwoodBlues1 on
According to coach Kingsley" its hard being Toby"...sometimes I agree he doesnt get calls go his way due to his previous reputation but he was undisciplined tonight and the incident with Boyd showed he had little duty of care imho and there was another I'm sure I saw with Kemp I think it was where he took a swing at him while contesting the ball falling to the ground.
Good to see both Cowan and Newman looking after Boyd too and letting Toby know he wasnt going to get away with his BS....
Hogan struck Young in the jaw as well and that should be looked at too.....credit to Young when Weitering got his corkie and couldnt run it was Young who got the job on Hogan and shut him down and showed some physicality which has been lacking in his game...
I too was impressed by Young’s physicality

This performance reinforces that we are the real deal and if we play anywhere close to our best we will go very close this year.
Our lesser lights are now genuine contributors and our stars and there is now a few of them are match winners. Really believe if we have a decent run injury wise later in the year we may just add another cup in the cabinet at PP.

Was at the game. At around the 19.min mark of the 3rd qtr we were 20 points down and were flat as a tack. The Giants were in total control. The rest is history.
How did this happen?  Can anyone explain it to me?
With the injuries we have, it was enormous.
There is something cooking and it ain't the same crap as previous false dawns.

AFL 2024 Rd 5:   Carlton vs Adelaide
We were unlucky to lose, but we panicked for the first time this season. had we kept our nerve, we would have won.

Trends:
[1]   There were 12 voters this round, which isn't that bad considering.

[2]   The rating was a 7.22, which is an D+. A little harsh, perhaps, considering that we lost by 2 points in the last few seconds. But, we were expected to win and we should have, so people judged us accordingly.

[3]   14 players managed a mention this week, which is 2 down on last week. Everybody contributes when we win, which wasn't quite how it worked out this time.

[4]   The average vote this week was 24. The first time below 30 for the year and indicative of how down we were this round.

[5]   3 players managed 100 votes or more this week. Even so, only one performance stood out.

[6]   Sam Walsh managed 460 votes to be BOG this week. This was a Judd-like performance if there ever was one. Cripps and Acres came in at 2nd and 3rd, and neither of them had great games.

[7]   One player managed votes from everyone this week. This is a rarity.  But Walsh's game stood out. Nobody else's did.

[8]   None of our youngsters stood out this week, which is disappointing.

[9]   Only Walsh stood out. We struggled over the rest of the field.
