Re: Club Football TV Broadcast

Bartel is on the Giants Board Correct - as per the original post - a club staffer doing the commentary for the local (home) team - amateur hour Yeah. When commentating you really have to show no bias. Unprofessional if you can’t. I blame the commentator for that, not the broadcast team though. But ...

Re: 30-14

In addition to the unbalanced and unfair free kick count, Eleni paid 3 very doubtful marks to GWS which were never held for sufficient time. My absolute nightmare game would be one in which Eleni and Nick Foot are umpiring together against us. Plus that "mark"of the round given to that li...

Re: Coaches Votes Round 1 v GWS

Membrey looked like the only guy in the back half of the field who wanted the ball when he took the big chest mark at CHB late in the last - he ran off the top of square and you could see no one was going to impact his run, jump mark- made everyone else look like a witches hat - it was great to watch

Re: Club Football TV Broadcast

Bartels comment at 3/4 time was stunning. When asked what he thought would happen in the last 1/4 he commented. "I would like the Giants to win but I think St.Kilda will win". Well that's really quite insightful and relevant to the game - what he really wanted to say was ' I really need t...

Club Football TV Broadcast

If The AFL are going to encourage teams like GWS to be in the competition they've got to at least support some kind of professional telecast of their matches. That was a Club Football TV Broadcast AT BEST I was at the ground and then watched when I got home - they captured none of the atmosphere at ...

Have to feel for the bloke - I don't know how long a fibula puts you out for, but he may be another early retirement ? He's had a bad run with this legs the last few seasons

Re: Captaincy thoughts?

Geary needs to stand down Riewoldt who holds the record for longest serving captain and was without question or need for debate best 22 in his final year - stood down and let someone else take the reigns whilst he played on I would be shocked if Geary was made captain this year - and that is not in ...

Re: Official - Ed Phillips not offered a contract for 2021

As with all these decisions, we have to rely on the coaches and list managers to decide what is best for the club, and as much as we may have liked what few games we saw Ed Phillips play this year, they are in a far better position to make these judgments than armchair critics. Yes he could be rook...

Re: Congratulatons Rhys Stanley

Rhys didn’t look any better last night than when he played for us. Exactly the same flaws. Will always be a player with unrealised potential. I thought he did some good things - but he will be immortalized for his dropped mark that resulted in a brilliant goal from Dusty in the dying minutes of the...

Re: key position player

The need is for a strong bodied tall defender that can compete physically one on one with the key forwards like Lynch and Hawkins...needs to fit the right age demographic so McStay or Payne from Brisbane would be a good fit!

The Cotchin incident was far worse - after the whistle stopped play and 100% had the potential to cause injury - by the tribunals own reasoning that action must get a 1 week Suspension
