Where and when: SCG, Saturday 17th April, 4:35pm (AEST)
Last time they met: Round 12, 2020: Sydney 10.6 (66) def GWS 3.7 (25) at Optus Stadium, WA.
Coniglio best described the Giants as “Hopeless” after this smashing in which all of the Giants’ goals came from free-kicks. And surprisingly the Giants had a full list to select from with Williams, Kelly, Whitfield, Cameron, Ward and Coniglio all playing. Just the normal rubbish from the inconsistent Giants and stellar form from the young Swans.
Match Preview: What an interesting match up! The Swans are as young as ever with Rampe and Heeney out injured but they are rightful favourites given their undefeated start to the season. The Giants finally won last week with an impressive return to form against the Pies and they may have rediscovered their mojo with Big Mummy throwing his weight around in the packs. On form alone, the Swans win but they look gettable with their very young list.
Thommo’s Watch:
Sydney
I’m still on rookie watch at Sydney with Campbell, Errol and Warner holding up my pathetic guns!
GWS
I would say Flynn if he was playing! I’m done with the Giants until Cameron gets the sack and they get a capable coach!
Leave a comment / Scroll to bottom
Jelly to finally break free of the Cameron tag and go 120+?
Campbell to stay under 50 and vindicate my decision to trade him?!
FINAL TEAMS | No late changes for the Swans or Giants.
Dylan Stephens (SYD) and Matt Buntine (GWS) the subs.
Don’t know about you guys but I got a feeling giants will get up today. My tip is giants by 20 and Toby to win Brett Kirk medal
T/u sharp out
T/d cambpell out, sharp as a swinging loophole
Mumford looks angry at being made to play 2 weeks running and he’s intent on getting a tribunal enforced rest after this week
Mummy is always angry unless there is sausages or pies involved.
Actually, I think he’s still angry then as well.

Have the Swaneez done some role changes??
Why didn’t I bing in Hickey for Meek ??
Was on him all week ?
Oh well need to look long term and wasn’t doing to be a keeper i though but …
Brought him in…. wondering why I didn’t grab him earlier, but lets face it there’s been carnage to deal with.
Luckily for me at least it was ruck carnage this week, meaning I had to choose him or Grundy.
Close call, but Grundy against NicNat and shared role tipped me over the line. The Collingwood midfield woes make me wonder how Grundy is gonna keep getting big hundreds.
FMSC. On fire for most of 3 Quarters then injured the week I trade him in.
Fingers crossed for next week.
Likely PCL i read. 🙁 straight in, elation. Injury, deflation and a burnt trade.
Half Time – Swans lead 6.4.40 to the Giants 3.7.25

Thank you Lisa, for posting all the scores.
Campbell 53% TOG to half time
Was hopeful before Qtr Time. Gone next week for Macrae or similar. I’ve got a $650k war chest.
And just after the start of the final quarter – its the Swans in control 62 to 41. Giants have activated their sub, with S Reid out with a hammy in the 3rd qtr, M Buntine enters the game.

Hickey out hmmmm lots of injuries this year going to be needing to save trades more then points I’d think.
I would have kept Daniel if I knew that Clark would be dropped.
But team timing meant that I needed to double my chances of cover.
Now i have potentially the same timing issue next week with St Kilda versus Port last. Don’t know if Highmore or Jones will be named for most of the matches.
Full Time – Giants over the Swans by 2 points, and the Swans lose Hickey with a knee injury
