(Same folks prolly don't realize how well Witts has been going for years for GC as ruckman and co-captain.) All those stars, like Toby, Kelly, Green, Whitfield, Coniglio,... We've struggled with clearances and contested ball for several months. It's tough work trying to win scoring by slingshot off half back all the time.Jezza wrote:Giants should be respected for their progress through the year, but I think our strengths are being understated by the media.
Since R19...
Clearance diff: Coll. -0.9; Bris. +3.9; Carl. +6.1; GWS +1.4
Hitouts to advantage diff: Coll. +2.6; Bris. -3.7; Carl. -1.3; GWS +3.1
Midfield contested possession diff: Coll. -7.1; Bris. +9.4; Carl. +12.0; GWS +5.3
Well, Maynard's stuff was playing for Melbourne FC... but, sure, only 8 games.think better wrote:Just read an article that Toby Greene's dad who was banned from the MCG after assaulting someone after GWS lost the grand final, is being allowed back in for tonight's game.
Makes Maynard's stuff seem pretty insignificant!

Well, that's sorta reassuring in a roundabout way...swoop42 wrote:While I don't doubt GWS have improved and the personnel available tonight is better as a whole if you look at our last game it's not like their midfielders didn't find the ball.
Coniglio 33, Ash 32, Green 30, Whitfield 29, Kelly 27.
Just need Toby to be subbed off in Q1 then!
Oh, bummer... At least they're playing! Can do it again.Johnno75 wrote:The flip side was Nick, Titch and JDG had 108 between them.swoop42 wrote:...
