Was lucky to get to about half time - then power went out - but at least we had a bit longer than others. Watched a bit on my phone but then that signal went to. We are all safe however so that’s a good thing.

Gees how good do the Giants look today. Didn’t expect this result today. Sorry about ya Pies Fred lol

[Fred]

Cheers - yeah Giants looked good. My Pies not so much

Nice article. Some good points. And the booing of Perryman showed that there is a decent core of GWS supporters who are invested in their team.
