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)

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
Taranto shouldn’t score 120 but will Edwards be the sub?
Edwards probably will be the sub. The other 3 emergencies played in the WAFL.
My oppt did just that !!
No late changes, Finlayson and Atkins the subs.
Miller and Lukosius for me here.
SC relevant players here..
*Mine.
Miller
Luko
Sharp
Kelly*
Whit*
Taranto
Haynes*
Greene
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 !
Lukosius two kicks in a row straight to chests of GWS players fml.
Greenwood in serious trouble with a knee injury and won’t be back. GCS have activated their sub.
Damn, I took the C off Miller just before the bounce and put it on Grundy.
Touk heading towards the ton before half-time.
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.
Ruled out for the rest of the game, just confirmed now.
Not watching gd, will we play next week?
No – concussion protocol means one week mandatory break
Whit OUT!
37 points
Out next week too 🙁
guy has to be on never again list as well … misses matches every year for variety of reasons
Damn Whitfield is out i guess rookie to cover next week
Love Whit, but my oppt has him…my first lucky break for the year. Now Mr Miller….go and stand in the corner.
Who should I put the C on?
Tu: Grundy
Td: Macrae
Wait fox footy reporting he passed the concussion test but he was subbed out? Does that mean hes not affected by afl protocols or whats the go?
My guess would be GWS trying to fudge the concussion test so he can play next week.
Now that would be wrong to do…
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 🙁
Great for you Gunboat with Luko 😉
Yeah, chugging along nicely.
Just need him and Miller to come home strong.
Very surprised to see a Haynes turn around after that 5 point first quarter, been intercepting well?
Yeah, intercepting and getting a lot of spills – seeing plenty of it in savagely windy conditions. Playing behind the ball as the spare.
Cheers GD, just chucked it on,
feel terrible for Whitfield owners, concussions and injuries this year haven’t been very friendly.
wtf is going on with taranto?
Been trying to run with Miller all day instead of trying to win the ball himself.
What’s with Miller’s score?
If Titch scored 131 yesterday he should be 140-150 easy right now.
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.
Been pathetic all season, I’m switching to fantasy next year.
Highmore score for Whitfield or Crisp………didn’t choose either….apologies in advance other Crisp owners…….
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
Shitfield every year =[
yeah mate – I got sucked in by him again … last time … though I did say that this year too … #haven’tlearntyet!!
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.
Don’t have him but that’s 10000% robbed
In a nail biter too, GD.
They’re not even junktime touches!
You have every right too be furious.
upgraded from 128 to 143 GD in final scaling / adjustments …
Miller 128, what a joke. CD pathetic.
Thank goodness for bramble going 119 and benching Taranto to get it. What a steaming turd he dished up haha
