Port Adelaide are the closest thing the Giants have to a successful record...
Tipping the Giants. They have played well against good teams but they can't get complacent just because they're up against a bad team. Replicate the form from last few weeks and they win.
AFL @AFL 1m
#AFLGiantsPower - Rhys Palmer out. Replaced by Zac Williams. Subs: Zac Williams (@GWS_Giants) and Robbie Gray (@PAFC)
Hopefully Palmer being out Hartlett will bounce back to his best with more freedom.

Yeah hopefully, he tagged hartlett earlier and kept him to a 30 odd but apparently he was injured also. Another ton would be nice from heartless.
Wouldn't mind another below par score from Heartless. He is a key player in a couple of my match ups.
At odds of $4.20 GWS are good value, l'm not sure they'll win but they're a reasonable chance
Well at least Neade avoided the green vest :)
Gray sub is interesting. :o

Yeh youd think he'd start on the ground. Strange. ???
Port by 19
Looking at a good SC score this week - Gray being sub may kill it as I may now have to take Rowes 55 if he does not beat it.
Spud's word of the day is barometer

The whole port teams are barometer's lol
Cameron might be in trouble there. i hope not though, it was more clumsy than anything. hard to read the MRP
Well I tipped GWS as my upset this week since they played so well against the Cats. Well that looks to have backfired

I bloomin' well hope so.
And is that Hitchcock injured already? Couldn't be less surprised.
Wingard's havin a ripper
Can I say that this GWS are doing worse than the GC did last year?
Two players in this game, Jake Neade and Cam Hitchcock. They're the two lowest scoring players for Port so far. Sigh

= Cactus. This player is looking very weary, he could use a holiday somewhere sunny like Arizona.
You flowering cow Butcher.

Given, Wingard is prone to taking ALOT of knocks. Did research up on him prior to him being drafted, and man has he had alot of concussions and knocks in Juniors and TAC. But that knee to the stomach did not look good :o.
Loving Wingard, playing midfield this season and killing it 8). GWS should be kicking themselves they didn't draft him :-X.

Probably letting him rest up for a bit, came back from injury as the sub so may be nursing a niggle?
Why can't I see the flowering cacti? >:(
Hopefully no trash can in the last for Hamish.

Hey he's South Australian stop trying to steal our guns :P
But yeah they just said before being recruited he had multiple cat scans to check for concussion risks :o
Need Scully to go to sleep. :(

I heard that, didn't even know about that :o. Only knew he was hard at the ball despite not being that built body-wise, but probably why GWs were weary on choosing him. Figured if he slipped to Port, they would take the SA boy ;).
Cameron got some deserved goals late in junk-time. GWS really need another tall up forward to help him out. Patton out injured, could try O'Hailpin or Tomlinson I'd say. Plowman been trying past two weeks, but can't do as much to slow down the double/triple teams on Cameron.
Haha i was just joking about you referring to him copping knocks in TAC when he never played in the comp HP :P ;)
Thanks for the cheap 99 heartless. Honestly shocking to watch though.
How did Hartlett score 99?

Oh my bad, been 2 years since I did the review so must have forgotten he played in SA League instead :-[. I've been sorta out of it today thus my posting on FF :P.
Haha no worries mate just kidding around :P
But if tbag saw this, boy oh boy wowee would you be in trouble! ;)

Depends wether or not you drink Coopers ;) Otherwise just a coke for you?
The Boss "Chad Wingard" getting head knocks? ??? not sure about that but nothing seems to stop him ;D
As for the Hammer, i'm keeping the faith, not scoring badly atm
Haha, haven't tried Coopers and haven't drank coke in 12 years :P. And Wingard is a little Trooper, kept going in the 4th quarter.
Think he was winded 2-3 times that game but still just kept going and going and going. He could be the new Energiser Bunny :D.
ahhh dunno how reported it was, but I saw port adelaide staff carrying a pair of crutches to the bench like late 4th quarter. Dunno who for though...

yeah, cameron needs someone to take the pressure off. The delivery to him was pretty terrible as well.
honestly, that first half was probably one of the worst halves of football I've ever seen the giants play. Like, we lost the last half as well, but only by 7 points (although we played pretty averagely then as well).
spewing that we had our good game against geelong.
WHY GIANTS WHY.
Zip... GC won 3 and 3. GWS 2 and 0 and never within 30 points this year.
GC won 3 and 3 in 2 full seasons. The second one included one against the younger expansion team.
GWS gave won 2 in a full season and non in a half season. Too early to judge
that being said, win:lose ratios aren't necessarily the best measure for success or development for the first years of these expansion clubs :P
1 was against the GC if that helps lol.
