The boys are absolutely ecstatic after that record breaking third term against the reigning premieres. As Al's been saying all year, just get to the bye 6/6 and launch for the back half. 

This game against the resurgent Dee's in Alice Springs now looms large to ensure we hit the bye at that magic number. 

The boys are then joined by Shannon and Grace who are appearing in W, a play about AFLW running at the Old Fitz in Wooloomooloo from Sunday 31st - June 14. 

Head down to the Guildford Hotel on Sunday at 3:15 to watch the Giants get their season back on track!

The boys are left reeling after the Giants shock loss to Producer Sam's Eagles. 

They discuss where it's all going wrong and how they have to hold the line until the cavalry arrives. Brandon asks Al the tough question: is the season over if we lose to the Lions and Melbourne? 

Brandon then continues his regions of Western Sydney series by giving the history of the land the Giants now call home, Sydney Olympic Park.

The Giants gain a much needed win and now face the recently returned Producer Sam's hapless West Coast Eagles. Can the Giants just make it to 6-6 and launch after the byes?
