WC looked pretty insipid, must of been pretty tired after that game with Port, which was a good hard tussle.  I don't think GWS looked that good to be honest, WC hardly competed, they barely chased, put no pressure on, and generally adopted witches hat positions for most of that game.  Hopefully we can shell shock this afl confection when they turn up and we hit them with the blitzkrieg

WC were totally insipid. Living in WA I enjoyed that aspect of the game. 

GWS are very difficult to figure out. List chock full of talent that doesn't play as a team yet. Has happened with just about every list of any new team in my time watching the AFL. Port the only exception.

I have a theory that these new clubs need to go through at least half a generation of players before they actually develop the required cohesion amongst their playing group to be fully effective on the field.

Brownless on the Sunday Footy Show said we're overrated and he reckons GWS will beat us. He's not convinced about Richmond because there were "only" a couple of goals in it at 3/4 time against his Cats.

Giants set to go from 14k crowd to 80k MCG blockbuster

GREATER Western Sydney are confident they can perform in front of what looms as the biggest crowd in their seven-year history after hosting the smallest VFL-AFL finals attendance in 101 years.

The Giants’ 67-point semi-final caning of West Coast on Saturday night at Spotless Stadium was witnessed by just 14,865 fans, the smallest finals crowd since Fitzroy and Collingwood drew just under 10,000 to an MCG semi-final in 1916.

Next Saturday’s preliminary final between the Giants and resurgent Richmond is expected to draw at least 80,000 fans.

That would easily eclipse the previous best crowd for a Giants game of 60,222 who watched the all-Sydney qualifying final against the Swans last year at ANZ Stadium.

Tigers legend Matthew Richardson was quoted as saying: “It (next Saturday’s game) will be the most one-sided crowd in the history of the game.”

GWS coach Leon Cameron and his players are adamant their club can deal with an overwhelmingly hostile audience in addition to a red-hot Richmond side hungry for a first flag in 37 years.

“As soon as that ball bounces, it doesn’t matter whether there’s 85,000 Richmond supporters and 10 or 15 Giants supporters, it’s got nothing to do with the result,” Cameron said.

“The result will be determined by who has the best 22 on the day.”

Cameron said there was no way to prepare his players for the kind of atmosphere they would face next Saturday, but pointed out they had won in front of big, hostile away crowds.

‘We’ve won games in Perth this year. We’ve won games in places that no doubt the crowd is bigger than our home crowd,” he said.

“But I think our guys are absolutely itching to get to the MCG. We’ve come in a different way this year. Last year we were the ones that obviously had to wait.

“But I can’t see our players worrying about the enormous amount of support that the opposition will have because I know a lot of these guys are just born to play on the MCG in finals. I reckon they’re ready to go.”
