Game Chat – GWS vs Gold Coast

Written by Thommo on July 11 2021

Where and When: Mars Stadium, Sunday 11th July, 2021 at 12:40pm (AEST)

Last time they met: Rd 9, 2020: Giants 4.11 (35) def Gold Coast 9.7 (61) at the Metricon Stadium.

Last 10 H2H: Giants 9 – Gold Coast 1

Thommo Watch:

GWS: Whitfield, Kelly, Taranto, Haynes, etc are popular with anyone willing to risk owning any Giants.

Gold Coast: Gee there is a lot to like about Touk Miller. He has looked like a great player for years but he has taken his game and consistency to a new level in 2021.

Match Preview: The Suns were ecstatic last week after they recorded a win over the Tigers at the MCG, despite Richmond not really being very menacing these days. Stewie Dew will hope the victory may spark them to finally defeat the Giants after 9 straight losses to their fellow expansion club. That won’t be a simple task as the Giants are no longer pushovers. They are coming off an impressive win against the Demons at the MCG and will be desperate to play finals footy. For mine, the Giants will make it 10-straight wins over the Suns.

The wild card will be deciding which team will cope with the nipple-freezing Ballarat weather…

Thommo’s Tip: GWS by 18 points. (Tipping record: 26.5/45)

  1. Should I put Taranto on the bench and loophole L Edwards so I can get Brambles 120 score. I know this is potentially very risky as Edwards is names 1st emerg on Mon night

    Yes do it, Taranto won’t get near 120
    No too risky, trust Taranto

    The Suns showed up last week but can they back it up ?

    Giants have a sniff at finals and The Swans next week. They just must win today.

    With Freo sitting in 8th. ( for now)
    It looks like ( although I only have Giants players.) I’m joining a very exclusive club, I’m officially a Gold Coast supporter.( for 2 hours )

    Go the Suns !

  4. Damn, I took the C off Miller just before the bounce and put it on Grundy.

    Touk heading towards the ton before half-time.

  5. Miller 10 Tackles and 86 SC points in a half.

    Thats beast mode!

    Kelly (46) and Haynes (47) on track.

    Whit (40) off with a head knock. I hope he’s ok.

    Luko (53) looks great too.

    1. Not sure Tom.

      We should get news, Mon -Tues anyway.

      I have Laird Mid, so at least I can cover him with my best Rookie.

      That score on field in not going to help my rank this week 🙁

  8. Very surprised to see a Haynes turn around after that 5 point first quarter, been intercepting well?

    1. Yeah, intercepting and getting a lot of spills – seeing plenty of it in savagely windy conditions. Playing behind the ball as the spare.

      1. Cheers GD, just chucked it on,
        feel terrible for Whitfield owners, concussions and injuries this year haven’t been very friendly.

  9. What’s with Miller’s score?

    If Titch scored 131 yesterday he should be 140-150 easy right now.

    1. 31 touches, 13 CP, 14 tackles and two goals, f*cking madness that he isn’t on 150.

      CD pathetic today. Not accounting for the wind, been brutal with DE and “clangers”.

      Jelly also done in.

  11. If Bont had the exact same stats as Miller does right now he’d be on 170+, sc scoring is a joke, time to switch to fantasy

    1. yeah mate – I got sucked in by him again … last time … though I did say that this year too … #haven’tlearntyet!!

  12. Miller 139? Are you sh*tting me?

    34 touches, 16 contested, 14 tackles and 2 goals. You give Steele or Bont those numbers and that’s a casual 170.

    CD off the f*cking reservation. I rarely bitch about scoring, but this is just infuriating.
