WC did not wear their indigenous guernsey, I guess because of a jumper clash. Next week, then?

Can't see it happening, K. The Giants are getting heaps more of the ball and leading by 30 points, nearing half time.

GWS ease out to a 5.5 lead late in Q2.

GWS lead disposals 182-131, I50s 32-15, M50s 11-3.

Melbourne lead HOs 21-5, but Gawn's HO-to-advantage ratio is only about 13%.

Melbourne scored 1 goal in a half. How many goals do you reckon in the second half? I guess maybe 5-7 goals total for the game... but GWS might ease off.

"The Giants were in possession for 8 minutes and 2 seconds more than Melbourne in that half and had the ball in their in forward half 64 per cent of the time."

Whitfield & Himmelberg (twice) goal for GWS.
HH has 3, Whitfield 2, Cameron 2.

The lead is now 8.3 & GWS's percentage is currently 30 more than Richmond's.

Jeremy Cameron is a fantastic player but he’s a bit of a smartalec at times - twice in a row he tried silly, low-percentage kicks across goal from halfforward wing. Both were intercepted and the second gifted Melbourne their third goal. I think if he came to Collingwood, we could to get him to cut that smart stuff out of his game. Maybe we should offer to take him off GWS’ hands?

His goal-kicking is a bit Collingwood-like.
