It was a very dark day for Greater Western Sydney at the MCG on Sunday.
They only turned up for basically a quarter.
It was a very dark day for Greater Western Sydney at the MCG on Sunday.
They only turned up for basically a quarter.
At half-time they were down by 32 points and by three-quarter-time the margin had blown out to 78.
Fair dinkum, the way they played the third quarter they were already at the airport in the lounge sitting down waiting to go back.
A young club like this cannot rest premiership players like Chad Cornes and then also start Luke Power as their sub.
These young players need the guidance that older heads like Cornes and Power can help provide but they had to rely on 36-year-old James McDonald and Dean Brogan.
They got torn to shreds by Melbourne, who for all intents and purposes aren't any good.
Of course we all knew that Tom Scully was going to get booed but that's what happens when you leave a club and go to another one for more money.
He's copped the money and if he gets upset about the treatment he copped on Sunday he should just ring his bank manager and check his account balance.
As or the AFL trying to censor the fans having harmless fun at Scully's expense, it is ridiculous.
He'll be booed for the rest of his life by Demons supporters so the AFL better get used to it.
GWS will try and pry a few more stars loose and they will be booed too.
We can all say they're going to be a great side in three or four years' time but just remember we said that last year about the Gold Coast Suns after they won three games and now they're a basket case.
The Giants aren't guaranteed winning another game this year and I'll be surprised if they do.
They are going to bleed but how much blood they lose is up to them and their coaches and leadership group.
July and August could be bad months for GWS.
Poor old Brenton Sanderson, the logjam at the top of the ladder means that you can't have a day off even if you've all got the flu but that's what happened on Sunday.
North Melbourne, a side who didn't beat anybody above them last year, have now taken the scalp of the reigning premiers and top-four hopes Adelaide, who would have gone top with a win.
I wish North, for the sake of their fans, could just get a bit of consistency into their game.
They looked like world-beaters and were never any doubt about winning.
But a couple of weeks ago Buddy kicked 13 and they couldn't get to Launceston Airport quick enough.
They are a very frustrating side to follow if you're a very loyal supporter.
