DUFFIELD: The Frankenstein moment we feared

Devon Smith gets his kick away in front of Dan Hannebery. 

The Western Bulldogs' vexed of West Coast last Thursday night was amazing. Geelong's two-point win over Hawthorn on Friday night was persuading appear. Adelaide's demolition of North Melbourne on Saturday night was as essential aBut the best explanation in week one of the finals was made by Greater Western Sydney at ANZ Stadium on Saturday. 

In the wake of yielding the underlying two goals, the Giants kicked 12 of the accompanying 17. 

Sydney expected to make this redirection about tested football and savagery. In poker terms, the Giants saw them in inside battle and raised them with outside run that was past the Swans' range. 

It may have a result, with Steve Johnson and Shane Mumford standing up to match review board examination today, nonetheless it was the clearest instance of the immense force the Giants have accessible to them. 

It was from various perspectives a dream for the AFL.s it was predictable.A Sydney football amazing. The affiliation's first Sydney derby last conveyed a savage display to stand out enough to be noticed and take a few people's breath away of potential fans. 

In any case, the gathering may have a few reservations also.
