Bulldog vows never again after Giants ‘bullying’
Giants protagonist Toby Greene missed last year’s clash but has taken his leadership to a new level since becoming fill-in skipper. After a rugged start to the season, the Giants have won two straight, and Greene has been instrumental.
Crozier was full of praise for the Giants talisman.
‘‘I’ve spent a little bit of time on him,’’ Crozier said. ‘‘I played Vic Metro with him in under-18s so I know him quite well.
‘‘He’s got a real physical edge to his game that really gets the rest of their players up and about, so we know we’re going to be in for a tough challenge.’’
I read the Giants had decided not to employ the same tactics as last year. They felt they were undisciplined and didn't concentrate on playing footy and the Dogs got away from them.
Toby didn't play last year and this year he is Captain (acting) and has said in various interviews he has curtailed some of the way he plays. I see it differently, people don't really change much. They may try hard not to lose their temper, but if you poke the bear, anything can happen? (reference Barry Hall).
Will we poke the bear and unsettle him, or does he play better when he is provoked?
Will be interesting what happens tomorrow night, but one thing is we are now more mature and we will be prepared.

Young and Lipinski must be very confused at present. I sure am.

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Round 6 Vs Giants 2021
Don't know why Young is out and Cordy is in, Young was fairly solid and Cordy was only okay against the Gold Coast 2nds. It's not like it's a mobility thing either because Young covers the ground much better, only thing I can think of is that Bevo thinks that there might be a bit of venom tomorrow night and Cordy's physicality will be required.

At least with Cordy in, Easton Wood isn't the worst kick in the team anymore.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Maybe it's GWS/Canberra/physical thing. I am not a fan of Zaine but he was one of few who at least tried to have a physical presence during our final against GWS.

The final was 18 months ago, time to move on from that performance and just beat them with our own game style rather than jumping at shadows.

Yeah, I think I agree. My point was there is reasoning to it, just like another game at Marvel.

Roarke Smith as an emergency also scares me.

Buku is definitely in Blacktown for VFL and Bevo said Schache won't play. McNeil being 'managed', so maybe just a travelling emergency. If Roarke isn't playing for Footscray, I guess he is the medical sub.

Re: Always Right Match Committee - Round 6 Vs Giants 2021
Well this is really weird. Can only think Young hasn't been doing something specifically........not sure I really know what however.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

I've seen Cordy's last few weeks live and he definitely isn't being picked due to unbelievable form.
