Game Chat – Port Adelaide v GWS Giants

Written by Thommo on July 27 2019

Where and when: Adelaide Oval, Saturday, July 27, 7.10pm ACST

What it means for Port Adelaide: The Power (8-9) need a big turnaround to keep themselves in the hunt for the finals. They’ve lost three of their past four games to sit one win and percentage outside of the eight.

What it means for Greater Western Sydney: The Giants (10-7) are in the mix for a top-four berth after their outstanding win against Collingwood. They’ll be keen to get a win in Heath Shaw’s 300th game.

The stat: In three games against the Power at Adelaide Oval, the Giants hold a 2-1 advantage. Overall, the Giants have won their past four games against the Power to take a 5-4 lead since they first met in 2012.

The match-up: Tom Clurey v Jeremy Cameron

Another big test for Clurey, the No.1 Power key defender in the Official AFL Player Ratings, and 204th overall. Cameron (the Giants’ No.1 key forward, and 91st overall) is leading the Coleman Medal race with 54 goals for the season, and booted six against Collingwood last week.

It’s a big week for: Heath Shaw

The dual All Australian will be up for a big performance to celebrate his 300th-game milestone. Has been an outstanding contributor to the Giants since joining the club from Collingwood.

Thommo’s Tip: Port by 6 points

While we do our best to update posts with end of quarter scores, we aren’t always online so if you have access to the scores and see they haven’t gone into the Comments section of this post, the Community would love it if you could help us out.

  2. Benched the Hoff to receive Setterfield’s 91 and Mundy will now likely record his 1st score below 80 against the Dogs since 2009. Also have a donut due to Andrews and Hurn missing in conjunction with Kelly still absent.

  3. Greene’s score is a joke right? He lost 10 pts in the last 5 minutes where he was crucial in GWS winning the game

    1. Think it may have been due to him sliding in below the knees giving a free about 60m out from goal. Can’t remember if it was the play that set up Duursmas shot 40m out directly infront of goal to take the lead.

      Will be great to see the Salamander compare the stats and see if he got a somewhat justified score

  5. Westhoff and Cameron scored a combined 146 in the first half. I was grinning like an idiot at half time.
    They combined for 11 points in the second half. Neither player was injured.
    How the actual f is that even possible?

    1. It’s like I have posted in many threads Chillo. The scoring system is an absolute joke by allocating a maximum amount of points per game shared by both sides. In many instances, depending on the player, stats are awarded that are not even there.

      They over score players early and than are constantly adjusting later – so players who actually earn stats and should get points get none and so on. It has also been proven many times over the years that certain players are scored differently/ better. The whole system needs to be thrown out – just score a player what they earn – period. That way eliminates a lot of controversy.

      More people need to email the site as these things occur – weight in numbers of complaints is the only way things will change.
