Can understand as we have a very poor record of winning in recent times after having a great win the week before by over 50 points. We are due to win a close one.

What it means

GWS (6-3) will return to its home deck for the first time since round one with its tail between its legs after giving up a promising start when suffering three defeats in the past four matches. The Giants snapped a four-match losing streak against their old rivals in a thriller last year but might be more concerned with their own performances of late as the 'Orange tsunami' has started to dry up.

The Western Bulldogs (4-5) bounced back from four defeats in five matches with a crushing victory over an injury-ravaged Richmond but now need to underpin their return to form against a more settled opponent. The Bulldogs can take extra motivation from putting a dent in their rivals' finals hopes, while boosting their own chances ahead of tough tests against the Swans, Pies and Lions.

Game-shapers

Jesse Hogan has endured more highs and lows than most on his way to 150 matches but finally appears to be at the top of his game. The Giants spearhead has booted at least one goal in every match this season, and is sitting second in the race for the Coleman Medal with 26 majors, as his threat near goal continues to grow.

The Bulldogs are reaping the rewards of handing Taylor Duryea a lifeline late last year as the veteran remains a consistent performer now set to reach 200 matches. The 33-year-old can add run and carry out of defence but against the Giants is likely to spend just as much time minding members of their mosquito fleet looking to add some bite after a quiet week.

Early tip: Greater Western Sydney by 22 points

Harmes is definitely going to Whitfield right? Because it’s worked the last two weeks and is so obvious? Right?

Someone needs to so it might as well be Harmes.

With Ash missing the reliance on Whitfield to be the distributor will be even greater.

Surely we aren?t dumb enough to let him run free.

Can you get Morgan to do a retake?

At three quarter time they subbed in Caleb Daniel and sent him to Whitfield, but by then it was too late.

I've subbed in Clint.

It's a hell of a thing, tagging a man. Take away all he's got, and all he's ever gonna have.
