Greater Western Sydney Giants [merged]

Also for those interested, (not sure if it has been posted yet) I have the final ground dimensions for Skoda Stadium. Its actually 3m longer than the MCG at 163m and it is 2 metre's narrower than Ethihad at 126m so the ground may suit the Tigers well.

Narrower means more out of the fulls from DJ lol.

Good on ya supporting footy up there tiga  .

I didn't think of that MT. Hopefully he will either get his act together or be playing at Coburg by the time round 12 comes around. 

And yes I Like to refer to it a supporting footy also rather than supporting GWS. Tigers will always be #1 for me. I just love going to see live matches and I've really missed it since moving up here many years ago.

They'll win some games for sure

dunno about O'failpin at CHB though

[The Big Richo]

That looks ordinary at best.

GC had GAJ, Bock and Brennan that were very useful players.

Can't see Power, Cornes, Setanta, Scully etc getting them over in any to be honest.

[gerkin greg]

Bock and Brennan were very useful players.

I didn't think so, thought they were ok at best
Bock is as slow as Cornes, i think Cornes will be just as good a pick up
Brennan was Brennan, flaked it more often than he turned up

Putting GAJ and Scully to one side, i'd take

Ward, Palmer, Power, McDonald, Cornes, Brogan over
Rischi, Harris, Harbrow, Bock, Brennan, Fraser

Here's the video spiel for the redeveloped Skoda Stadium. They are claiming the scoreboard screen will be the biggest in the southern hemisphere.

[gerkin greg]

how dare they make such a claim! 

[Coach]

Cornes can't play down back anymore. Might be useful for 1-2 goals a game next year though

[gerkin greg]

nobody decides what the Chad will do unless the Chad decides to do it first or when he wants to do it or something

[Coach]

The Chad 

[Dubstep Dookie]

I hate The Chad

[Loui Tufga]

The Chad reminds me of the Hoff, I hope he to decides to bring out an album one day

No Taylor Adams?? IMO this kid is more ready development wise than Buntine. I think the GWS backline will be their weakness. I don't think they will have any problems kicking goals with the likes of Patton and Coniglio, its stopping them that will be the problem.

GWS Giants have been dealt a massive blow, with number one draft pick Jonathan Patton set to miss the start of the AFL season with knee tendonitis.

Not a big deal in the long-term as GWS will struggle to win a game next year so they might as well sort any injury problems with their first round picks out now. In the short-term though it will further stuff up putting any semblance of a spine on the park as GWS don't have that many KPPs as it is.
