Just when we were gaining some momentum, fresh off the Road Train back from Alice, we put our feet up and forgot about footy for a week...

And then the AFL decided to put the Giants on at the same time the Socceroos kick off their World Cup campaign.

Will our heads be elsewhere? Toby has confirmed: yes, this is likely.

Will the Tsunami retreat to a gentle lapping on the fringes of the Marvel turf? There’s every chance.

Hypothetically, technically and realistically, we should continue to march up the ladder given the big ins this week, the form that’s been building, and the fact that the Saints would be demoralised after letting that one slip against the Swannies. And three Ls in a row. Ouch.

Plus, we’re just a better side than the Saints.

But nothing is a given in this beautiful, chaotic, unpredictable sport called Australian Rules Football. And nothing is predictable — other than the Giants making the top four and going on to win our first cup — with this enigmatic team known as the GREATER Western Sydney Giants.

Is this stressful? Sure.

Do we love it? You bet.

Gamble responsibly.

So sit back, split the Kayo screen down the middle, mute the soccer, and enjoy Finn slicing the Saints to pieces, Hoges coming back and kicking a baker’s dozen, and maybe something special from Gothard once again...

Never Surrender.
