Bedford, Daniels and Braeden all suspended for a week: MATCH REVIEW: Giants pair, young Swan banned after bruising derby - MATCH REVIEW: Giants pair, young Swan banned after bruising derby.
Mixed news, obviously. The Giants play away to Port next week in a game we would benefit from them losing. Bedford was good for them last night and Daniels is an important player for them.
Unless we successfully challenge Campbell's suspension, I'd expect Stephens to get his chance and Corey to come into the sub role.
Fair enough all round really. Greene knows (most of the time) how to skirt the line to avoid suspension. Had many plays that could have been cited for rough play.
Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.
Suns - home
Adelaide - away
Melbourne - home
Big finish coming up
Regarding the Inside 50 differential in this game, interestingly it was set up in the first and second quarters, before the game turned into a total wet weather affair, and most - albeit not all - were from quite shallow Giants’ re-entries. When we went forward we were far more efficient, took more marks and kicked goals, decreasing the potential for re-entries. Stats like these tell us that the simple number can actually be quite misleading. It also tells us that our backline is not only defensively far more sound than earlier in the season, they’re also highly adept at setting up attacking chains. There’ll always be the odd clanger, but overall they’re doing a mighty job both defensively and offensively.

Good post. Recognition of the backline goes unnoticed at times. What was pleasing was the efforts of Francis, McCartin, Fox and Lloyd who stood up while Florent and Blackey were tagged.
Titus gets in on the Errol love.

A little surprised Rowbottom received a vote, I thought he turned over the ball a few times, but maybe he had a tagging job that he executed well.
