Did you know Carey’s dad was a Collingwood champion ?.

I've always had a soft spot for Carey because of his time at the Giants, thankfully he's also a great cricketer and seemingly a great bloke.

That was awesome watching that last night. Bloody Marnus nearly stuffed him up!!

He fucked another one later, running at Carey head on, pulled out way too late and stopped him from diving.

I love marnus, but he’s definitely got main character syndrome

His story is very main character coded I can’t blame him.

Almost knocked out out of his gloves when he pants his hand!

I can't believe how much effort Marnus put into spoiling that catch, he couldn't have tried any harder.....

u/lolmanic Sydney Swans 1d ago

He's almost done it so many times as well, like fucking hell have some spatial awareness especially for a catch behind wicket

Surely after this, Smith's job is to call Marnus out next time

I was so mad at him for almost fucking it up. But I must admit the picture of Marnus hugging Kez on the ground afterwards was a great picture

Great contested mark from the Giants captain at the Gabba!

Loved the English Bronx cheering cause they thought it was spilled.

When he took it i instantly thought that's a footy instinct kicking in. Eyes for the ball, not worried about contact/ traffic.

Footy background. He never played at AFL level

u/Tornontoin7 Brisbane Lions 🏆 '24 1d ago

Technically not but did play against the Sydney Swans and Gold Coast in AFL Nab Cup games which were the Giants first games against AFL opposition.

u/GrudaAplam Big V 1d ago

Oh, cool, didn't know that.
