I'm glad someone picked it up.

It ends here as far as I'm concerned. I just wanted to be seen.

Ok aza.

So who tipped against us? There is no shame in it but a good win tonight against a strong opposition. I wonder if the media give us just a bit of praise.

I just watched ?The Round So Far? on the AFL website and they hardly even mentioned the dogs. It was all giants.

I wish we played on real footy grounds every week.

This. It seems our players also enjoy playing on real grounds also.

Under the roof just plain sucks.

Much like the commentators of the match. They were largely unaware of our presence until the last 20 minutes.

For the first time last night I watched our game with the sound down and playing music and it was somewhat more enjoyable and relaxing experience without the commentators white noise.

I was puzzled when at either half time or three quarter time fox chose to play the giants comeback win in Ballarat and I assumed somehow they were inferring that the giants would do something similar now. Which made me wonder if the commentary all game was pro Giants.

I think you'll find that in all their games. It has been pro Giants coming from the very start. The AFL is desperate for NSW powerhouses.

They have scenarios depending on the score and it’s always going to be the one behind will come back so they keep viewers.

Was it just me or did the players look a little flat after that game? Kicking playing on their minds?

Great to get the win, I just loved Naughty's game. In the past against elite key defenders we have seen him stay at home deep and look kind of defeated very early in the game. Last night his work rate was unbelievable it felt like he was the second best player on our list.

Anybody else get reminded of Biggs with Cleary?

Medium sized jack of all trades defender that is generally tidy with the ball.

Cleary is still yet to reach close to 2016 Biggs but I think the way he floats around is similar.

Re: Giants V Bulldogs - Round 10, 18/5/24 ENGIE Stadium, Sydney 4:35PM AEST

Me too.

If that's the first thing that comes into your mind when you see that sort of post you need to have a look at yourself.

It's honestly taking every ounce of my strength to resist responding with what I want to say to this. I want to keep the gag going but I've already inadvertently made someone angry at me this week (in the same thread you're cleverly quoting) for mimicry and I don't want to upset anyone else.

I'm glad someone picked it up.

Ok aza.

Has someone got the cliff notes to what just happened?

Good spot.

I can see the similarities although Biggs could provide some run and carry, which Cleary hasn't yet done. I think he's worth persisting with for a while, made some errors but then had some strong moments.

I don't expect anything different from Kane. It was suprising that he didn't find a way to give the Dogs a back hander. He just didn't even mention them at all. Nothing. Zero. The AFL official show that reviews the games so far and all only mentions the Giants have lostttheir mojo.

The Dogs rank outsiders. Everyone wrote them off two weeks ago, especially Kane and his friends. They take a roadtrip, defeat the Premiership favourites from three weeks ago, the second Premiership favourite (joint currently and outright prior to the bounce) and the Dogs get zero credit or even a mention. Incredible really.

I understand that this can happen on a pantomime show like what you would see on Channel 9, but not the official AFL website.

Knock the Swans off and we won't be ignored.
