Giants' success at Cattery still a mystery to seven-goal hero Hogan

1 day ago | afl.com.au | Daniel Garb

IT'S BECOME one of the more remarkable streaks in the AFL – the GWS domination of Geelong in the Cats' own backyard. Sunday's four-point win made it five straight triumphs for the Giants at GMHBA Stadium – the trip viewed by many as difficult as any in the competition. For the Giants, however, it is not only becoming a regular place of joy but one that provides the catalyst for a dramatic form surge.

GREATER Western Sydney midfielder Toby Bedford is confident he will return from an eye injury to take on Walyalup on Saturday as he revealed a Penrith Panthers-inspired tactic that is enhancing his tagging game.

4 days ago | afl.com.au | Sarah Black |Nathan Schmook

IT'S THE battle of the cellar-dwellers on Sunday afternoon, when 16th-placed Richmond takes on 18th-placed West Coast at the MCG. While the Tigers already have two wins on the board, the majority of their performances have been lacklustre, and Sunday's clash presents the perfect opportunity for the Eagles to notch their first wins of the season. On the flip-side, the Tigers' two wins have been massive scalps, plus still boasts several premiership players with plenty of experience.
'I really want that, I need that': The near misses driving milestone Giant

4 days ago | afl.com.au | Daniel Garb

TOM GREEN has never been one to take a backward step. Certainly not on the field as one of the game's supreme midfielders, and not often off it. He's been open in the past about his desire to be the best midfielder in the game, an achievement he's not exactly a mile away from. He's labelled himself the best player in his draft class and is open about his desire to be the next Greater Western Sydney captain. And he's been happy to speak out against the odd AFL controversy as well.

Old Gold: Why success looks very different for selfless Bomber

TODD Goldstein entered the year in one of the most unique positions any AFL footballer has ever found themselves in. Essentially, Goldstein knew that if he did his job well enough, he wouldn't be playing. A full-time footballer, Goldstein wanted to play at AFL level. But, as the mentor and quasi-coach to Essendon's promising trio of developing ruck options, he was very aware that it was perhaps more important to coach himself out of a job.
