GWS gamers are “eating up” the system coach Adam Kingsley has introduced in from Richmond because the Giants eye one other unlikely deep AFL finals run.
The Giants have gained at the very least one match in all six finals collection the membership has contested since 2016 after beating St Kilda by 24 factors on the MCG on Saturday.
After beginning the season 3-7, GWS have charged residence with 10 wins from their previous 12 video games to be one of many in-form groups of the six left within the marketing campaign.
Star midfielder Tom Green, who was monumental in opposition to the Saints with 35 disposals, heaped reward on Kingsley and his teaching employees.
Kingsley spent 15 years as an assistant at Port Adelaide, St Kilda, and Richmond underneath three-time premiership coach Damien Hardwick earlier than taking over the Giants’ high job on the finish of final 12 months.
Under Kingsley’s management, GWS have risen from sixteenth final 12 months to a semi-final in opposition to Port on Saturday night time.
“I think in pre-season, we knew that the system that Adam was bringing across from Richmond was one that worked, them having such a successful period,” Green advised AAP.
‘We had nice religion that it was proper, and all through pre-season we grew in confidence with it.
“We started the season probably not the way that we wanted to but we were just ironing a few chinks out in learning that new system and then once we got things cooking.
“It gave us nice confidence that our greatest footy was ok to beat anybody.
“We’re finishing unbelievably and the way everyone’s bought in; what the coaches are preaching, everyone’s eating up.”
There are shades of GWS’ run to the 2019 grand closing after they completed sixth and gained video games on the Gabba and the MCG to succeed in the decider in opposition to Richmond.
Green did not debut till the next 12 months, however loads of his teammates, similar to Toby Greene, Josh Kelly, Lachie Whitfield and Stephen Coniglio had been closely concerned within the well-known marketing campaign 4 years in the past.
The 22-year-old believes this Giants workforce is able to something after successful at 11 totally different venues this 12 months – an AFL report.
“Considering the way we’ve gone in the back half of the year, I struggle to put a limit on us,” Green stated.
“It’s a really even competition and it’s not easy to win any games, but I think it’d be remiss of me to put a limit on where this group can go.
“It’s kind of what you dream about getting on a airplane and successful an enormous closing on the MCG.”
