GWS Giants vs North Melbourne Preview

In a convincing display against the Pies in the Opening Round, the Giants sent a clear message, dispelling any doubts about their resilience following the previous year’s Preliminary Final disappointment.

Facing North Melbourne this weekend, the Giants aim to continue their upward trajectory, eager to see tangible results from their ongoing transformation efforts.

While North Melbourne may anticipate another challenging season as they await the maturation of their young core group and the development of team chemistry, there are promising prospects within the squad. Players like McKercher and Duursma show immense potential, poised to seamlessly transition their talent to the AFL level.

However, despite their aspirations, the Giants will have to navigate the absence of their courageous captain, Callan Ward, who is sidelined indefinitely. Nonetheless, they anticipate the return of Finn Callaghan, barring any unforeseen mishaps.

With a plethora of offensive threats at their disposal, GWS presents a formidable challenge for any opponent. Yet, the Roos possess their own strengths and are capable of causing trouble for the Giants, particularly if they can assert dominance in the midfield battle.

Great first test for the Roos, but the Giants will do this comfortably and are basically unbacking at $1.06 with AFL betting apps.
