Sitting in the freezing cold all evening and nobody won. Yet another exhilirating thriller involving the GWS Giants.

Full time at Spotless Stadium on the first day of the 2017-18 financial year, GWS Giants 10-8 (68) drew with Geelong 10-8 (68). The Giants' first draw in their sixth season of AFL. Match report from GWS, and stats from the AFL website.

In both NEAFL and AFL matches today, the Giants were robbed of victory with a kick after the siren. Early game, the NT Thunder won 15-7 (97) to 15-3 (93). Match report (including video of the last two minutes of the game) on the Thunder website.

Hello from Spotless Stadium. #aflgiantscats

Unexpected thriller in the NEAFL. NT Thunder just avoided a major upset beating the last-placed GWS Giants 97-92 on the siren. Francis Kinthiari watches as his kick sails through the posts

Does Jonny Patton kick the goal from there? Sure does. #aflgiantscats
