I built a daily AFL stats puzzle called AFL Stat Chain, and two weeks in, the Giants are sitting last on the average score leaderboard at 52.3. Small sample so far (14 grids), so there's time to turn it around. Come pull GWS off the bottom of the table!

Really appreciate all your support for the pod. Next week for our final episode of the Pod we are going to be joined by outgoing CEO Dave Matthews. We will be asking him all the questions Giants fans want answers to.

If you'd like to ask him something email the pod theymightbecomegiants@gmail.com

Going to miss him but feels like he left already with all the injuries. 2024 will remain a career-defining campaign of redemption. One of my favorite players and one of the reasons why this very-new-to-the-sport fan decided to support GWS.

Are there any players that you could see us targeting in the off-season?

I haven’t really been following this years draftees and prospects like I usually do, but have seen a few things about this Ethan Matthew’s kid whose tied to us. Does anyone know how good he is and could give me a bit of information on him if possible.

Congratulations to Lachie "Ned Kelly" Ash. Quietly a massive year for him and another gong on top of his EJ Whitten medal in the State of Origin match.

Clarry unlucky to miss out but deserves a shout for a tremendous season considering the injuries.

Surely he deserved a spot over Demspey or Zac Bailey??

A lot of analysts are saying our premiership window is shut. I don't entirely agree besides our ruck and and forward line being on the weaker side. I could see us hanging around mid table next year however equally I think we could push for the top 6 if our players are fit with a longer offseason than usual. I thought our window was shut after the 2022 season and things changed very quickly.

OK let's be real, this game is dead rubber and the season was over long before this game so I figured there's no point having a post match threat and that it would be better to do a post mortem of the season that was 2026 for the Giants.

Instead of the typical 3, 2, 1 vote share, share your thoughts on:

• What went wrong (including season lowlight)
• What went right (including season highlights)
• Who gets a pass mark
• Who needs to step up
• Who we're excited about for the future
• Prospects for the future

G'day lads 👍 North supporter here 😭 gee whiz your man Jake is playing some sort of game tonight, 5.2 and a quarter to play ▶️ Jake should stick around another year or 2 at the Giants ,

Full disclosure, this is self-promo. I built AFL Stat Chain and I'm looking for genuine AFL fans to test it and tell me what's broken or confusing.

It's a stat-based game where you're given a benchmark player, and have to pick the player with better career stats to keep your chain going. There are plenty of niche Giants players throughout the years to test your knowledge!

Been posting around a few AFL communities the last week or so, and the feedback's been genuinely useful for fixing bugs and figuring out what's confusing. Figured a sub full of people who actually know their footy stats would have sharper feedback than somewhere more generic. Any thoughts, on the game itself, what's missing, or just general feedback is welcome.

I've added a ladder to track fans across clubs. Select the Giants and push us up the ladder!

Yes the season is over but we are sticking tough. What a day at Engie! + A history on one of the game's biggest characters.

Dave Matthews on the pod next week. Send any questions to theymightbecomegiants@gmail.com 😉😉😉

How legit is this rumour?

Would be pretty shitty if he played his 300th game for the Cats.
