There are some good players running around in this contest. Both teams with deep lists.

Croft with two goals for the quarter

He was off for a couple of minutes early in the game as well.

Beautiful spoil on the line by Busslinger, commentator saying that he's best on ground in his eyes.

Really? That was a HTB against Jones? I thought it could have been too far but the GWS got a finger tip on him as Jones bounced it.

Buss will come under a bit more pressure in the next quarter as we are kicking with the assistance of a strong breeze.
McNeil now with 3 goals.

I think we need another before the quarter siren.

I thought he ran too far too, free kick anyway, but then he just drops the ball, should have been 50 against him and then doesn't get back on the mark to alow the GWS player to get a run on, slack.

Yeah I think that another goal is needed for us to be comfortable with this quarter.

Qtr time dogs lead 33-9. Goals shared between McNeil and Croft. Poulter and Busslinger stood out.

The Giants did well for most of the quarter and we will have to get our hands dirty and adjust our game kicking into the wind.

Wonder if we'll play with an extra behind the ball?

Khamis is an insanely good one grab mark. And probably the straightest kick for goal.
