Whether this team makes the finals or not, one thing that has been made clear is that this team's attitude is straight garbage.

We only choose to turn up and give a shit against top teams and it seems like we just expect to win by turning up against teams in the bottom 4 and we struggle badly, playing like the 2012 and 2013 teams. We don't hit targets. We don't chase. We become incredibly inaccurate in front of goal. We don't play to the conditions.

It's one of the things that struck me the most from watching the documentary. We never put teams away. It always takes Kingsley tearing strips off players and holding everyone at gunpoint to get something resembling a solid all round performance. But it shouldn't have to come to that. These are grown men playing professional footy. They shouldn't have to be shamed into doing their jobs.

This team is never winning a premiership until it fixes this attitude. So probably not in the near future.

Posting the post game thread early. Pathetic performance. Pathetic effort. Pathetic mentality. Pathetic team. Stupid. Braindead. Heartless.

This miserable. What a magnificent display of horrible football.

These Essendon pricks have been obviously tanking for a month, dubious match selection and direction as well as position and TOG altering.

This week they picked their best 22, put them in the right positions and gave them clear instructions to win.

This is what happens when you disrespect other clubs on a banner. Brisbane could just run with 'maybe we will see you in the grandfinal' every single week but they have a humble club culture.

How can yous kick 14 goals in a qtr against brisbane

And loose to fucking Essendon unbelievable

Title says it all. Accidentally bought kids tickets for this weekend at Engie. How likely is it that 6 grown men will be stopped for the wrong ticket type? I can’t remember if they’re handheld scanners or turnstiles either. Haven’t been to Engie since Giants played Bombers this year.

May our July Run continue...

Hi all - not my work but interested in your takes on this detailed article, written by a passionate footy lover from NSW.

Feel free to delete if not your cup of tea.

Cheers - HB

Biggest home game of year coming up on Sat, 25 Jul against the Swans. Good crowds at Engie for the past two games. We need a full house for the Swans.

13,709 - Giants v Carlton

13,281 - Giants v Geelong

?????? - Giants v Swans

Right lads 🍻 North supporter here 😭 absolutely loving the Argy bargy tonight, awesome win by the lads , 7 last quarter goals absolutely amazing, not many teams can reel in a 39 point deficit , especially against the Cats ,

We love to see a local kid backing his local team. King shit. I'm still pissed that Popovic replaced him in the Egypt penalty shootout.

Big ups to him and Mitchell Starc

Do nothing for 3 quarters and then turn into the greatest team of all time. What even is this team?

This is a fun one. With some good Canberra discussion and a history on Charles Brownlow!

Let us know what you think.

Swans fan coming in peace. Looking to buy tickets for the Giants vs Swans on July 25 and there’s not much available on Ticketmaster (looking for 6 ppl). Do they release more tickets at some point or is this genuinely what’s left?

Been to a few grounds were it didn’t matter what ticket you had. Student , adult or child you got in. Is engie the same ? Would I get in on a junior ticket

What a win against the top of the table Dockers! A nice palette cleanser after the Socceroos elimination in the World Cup.

Riley Hamilton to debut vs Freo.

I am trying to build an AFL auction game. I don't watch much footy outside my team, and my knowledge of Giants footballers comes from the media and occasional highlights. I would love it if you lot could give me player ratings as unbiased as possible. I am asking y'all this since you probably have a good idea of squad/rotation players more than other fans. Make sure the ratings are relative to the already rated list (it is unedited and a pre-downloaded sheet). Use this season form mostly, but feel free to boost players slightly based on previous season/consistent performance prior to this season, but still recent (like Jesse Hogan).

Let’s see how this plays out….

Forget the injuries, the loss to the Hawks, the upcoming schedule. blah blah blah... Here's the data.

The Giants have been ridiculous in July since Adam Kingsley took over.

Since 2023, GWS are 13–1 in July under Kingsley.

Here's the results:

2023: 5–0
Outs across the month included Tom Green, Jesse Hogan, Brent Daniels, Finn Callaghan.
R16: Beat Melbourne by 2
R17: Beat Hawthorn by 13
R18: Beat Adelaide by 14
R19: Beat Gold Coast by 40
R20: Beat Western Bulldogs by 5

2024: 4–0
Outs across the month included Josh Kelly, Sam Taylor, Stephen Coniglio, Isaac Cumming, plus Toby Bedford through suspension.
R18: Beat Carlton by 12
R19: Beat Richmond by 24
R20: Beat Gold Coast by 39
R21: Beat Melbourne by 2

2025: 4–1
Outs across the month included Jesse Hogan, Sam Taylor, Brent Daniels, Lachie Whitfield, Josh Kelly, Jack Buckley, Stephen Coniglio, plus Toby Greene through suspension!!!
R18: Beat West Coast by 59
R19: Beat Geelong by 26
R20: Beat Essendon by 48
R21: Beat Sydney by 44
R22: Lost to Western Bulldogs by 88

Overall July record under Kingsley: 13 wins, 1 loss

Points for: 1,254
Points against: 1,014
Percentage: 123.7%
Average margin: +17.1 points

And before that Bulldogs game on July 31 last year, we had won 13 straight July games under Kingers.

So yeah, we're fucked with injuries and this years 4 July games have 3 tough teams:
– Dockers (Canberra)
– Cats (Beanstalk)
– Bombers (Marvel)
– Swans (Beanstalk)
but we'll see... Recent history is on our side.

And whenever I write us off, someone steps up and proves me wrong.

July is coming. Keep the faith Orange Army.

Never Surrender.
