      Great atmosphere here at the Gabba. I've been asking around about Lewy Taylor. Nobody seems to know why he's not getting a game except it seems that Christenson might be keeping him out.

        The crowd is booing every Giants shot for goal and cheering their misses.

            Even the Auskickers look like they're playing footy and have skills. And attitude!

              It certainly was a odd intervention and the commentators didn't like it either. Generally, the Giants are doing ok with the umps at the moment, though.

              It's a fun game to watch - 2 teams of naughty little boys trying to assert themselves!

                An entirely appropriate intervention, going back to the behaviour of the Brisbane team under Matthews when they engaged in similarly unsporting conduct. Also has parallels with the pinching controversy from earlier this year.

                    Anyway, it was good result for you in the end.

                    You must have felt very proud, when in the post game interview, Phil Davis paid a special tribute to YOU when he said "thanks to all our Giant fans at home."

                      Lovely GW$ throw to set up the final goal that won them the game. Collingwood & GW$. Here’s hoping for a massive all in brawl resulting in 44 1 match suspensions next week

                        Are you talking about the warning for attacking Cameron's injured arm? It's a rule: Sam Edmund on Twitter: "Umpires have also had to be doctors this whole time. #easygig #afllionsgiants… ".

                        And, ultimately, a Collingwood win.

                          Epic game of footy.
                          Daniels banana goal at full pelt, a footy final memorable highlight .
                          C’mon Giants , knock off the Pies.

                            Yep - my feelings too.The only better thing would be if they could somehow both lose.
                            My opinion is objective truth in its purest form

                              That's a rule if a player is injured on the ground. If a player goes off and gets fixed up and comes back on it can't apply.
                              Can of worms if it does. Are you allowed to bring injuries into a new game?. Can you fake injury to draw a free?.

                              If that happened to a Richmond, caro would be beside herself.

                              Except it's outside the rules.

                                The rule makes no reference to the injured player being on the ground. The Giants are a thuggish, bullying team.
