Franklin, Kennedy and Heeney fit and fighting next year and we will be back. All of a sudden our depth for 2021 is there.
Yes, strange that Thurlow is now looking like an AFL standard player, when in the second half of last season, he barely looked to be NEAFL standard? And you start to wonder what is wrong with the Giants? Last few seasons, they could really cut teams up with slick ball movement. Tonight they hardly threatened. They did have a few key injuries, but our injury list is more extensive. Perhaps they came in thinking they were going to have an easy win, and by the time that they realised that wasn't going to happen, our kids had too much momentum?
An interesting stat:
Inside 50: GWS 52, Sydney 32.
Score per inside 50: GWS 0.48, Sydney 2.06.
(Deduct 3.1 for the umpires' contribution to GWS' score, that becomes 0.12 per inside 50 from their own efforts.)

I think you are absolutely right there. Predominantly young, single men without family/ home responsibilities, living together in nice accommodation, dont have to shop for food, cook meals, even better than living with Mum. I think they are loving it and it is bonding them together.
I’m pleased to see something good come out if this otherwise horrid Covid-19 year.
Horse was asked during his post-game presser, how they keep the players occupied during a 9 day break in a hub. And he said it gives them an opportunity to work at developing the young players.
I think GWS made us look very good tonight, but it’s also the best many individual players - no need to name them all - have played all year.
Long may it continue!
What really impress me was we did not have a bad player. Wicks was a little quiet, but it was his second game. Thought Thurlow and O'Riordan were not up to AFL Standard, I was wrong!
