I’d genuinely like to ask Fly why we don’t seem to force our way into the corridor anymore

Was a feature of our game last year and early this season

Seems to have disappeared

Probably more to do with the opposition teams catching on to our strategy and changing things up to be more unpredictable.

How good is Mitchell,Alas I only see on TV but see him pointing and directing players etc.

Best game he has played for us, I reckon, without seeing the stats. I never took much notice of him when he played for Hawthorn, but great to see him play so well against his original club.

Teams are coaching hard against us. Swans and the Saints set up well through the corridor, and others have probably tried the same. I think we've also adjusted to be a little more conservative? Perhaps with Frampton up the ground and no Howe, there's a reticence to go balls out on every possession?

Elliott looked to be moving a lot better today than he has in the past few weeks. Hopefully he's on the brink of being back to his best.

Still think he is carrying something.
When Ginni came on, Elliott went to the bench and immediately was on the mat getting either his back or legs worked on.

One day coaches and the “footee meeja” will realise crowds boo players they think are just garbage humans or champions they’re jealous of

Which is why they booed Franklin and Papley

Buddy has been one of the greatest ever.
Papley - the p**ck can play, but he's about the most annoying player running around at the moment.
Can we get toilet paper with his face on it so we can wipe our bums with it?
Yeah, I know - kind of puerile, but I like it.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Also a bit rich of Longmire to have a fu**in’ cry about Franklin being booed when he sent his whole team to bully a 20 year old because they knew they were out of their depth

Piss off scumbag

 

[JuniorB]

Can anyone here recall a match with so many set shots at goal were missed by both sides from relatively simple positions? It was bizarre.

I think the cold, windy weather had a say.

People have booed champion players for years to put them off their game, not sure why we're having a discussion about this.

Hoskin Elliott has been fantastic the past three weeks. His whole attitude seems to have changed. He is charging in like a man on a mission, presenting hard and laying solid tackles. I have no idea what his stats are and I don't care. Keep it up Will!

He was a key in the last quarter against Adelaide.

It's genuinely embarrassing.

'cLaSSleSs'

Seriously, shut the **** and let people cheer, boo and support however the hell they want providing they aren't vilifying anyone. I'm not a booer at all, but what's with the desperate need to dictate how people spend their time at the footy? You pay good money for your ticket, boo your ****ing heart out I say. Buddy's an absolute thug, look back at some of his contests again Maynard and co over the years where he has very deliberately clipped blokes around the head into marking contests, dropped elbows and knees into blokes onto the ground and his endless complaining when he isn't kissed on the dick by umpires.

Franklin's a champion of the game, but he's getting booed by opposition supporters DURING A GAME. Can we stop acting like he's being booed during an Hall of Fame inauguration, please?

 

[Bianconeri]

How s**t is Isaac Heeney btw

I don’t understand why they keep him up forward.

 

[hellfire]

I don’t support the booing of Buddy. He is a champion of the game and it was unwarranted. But for Longmire to call it out, on the back of their fans booing a 19 year old and their players going after a 20 year old today. **** up mate.

Was super clean today, not ideal conditions either.

 

[mumblingpie]

I’d be flipping embarrassed if i barracked for a club who would attack a 19 yr old like that

Obviously, no one is jealous of Pendles.

Pendles is such a good bloke, as well as being one of the greatest to pull on the black and white guernsey.

 

[Frankie23]

Buddy Franklin has tormented us for 17 years I’ll boo him as much as I want thank you very much.

My post which congratulated you on winning the free kick count 24 - 10 was deleted? Is this because your mods thought it wasn't a reasonable thing to state? or congratulate?

Anyways.. I thought the booing from your fans of Swans players was disgusting! especially after your coach demanded Swans fans stop booing Ginnavin for cheating last year. A bit hypocritical dont you think?
And yes Ginnavin was cheating.. The AFL changed the rules in response.

Oh and please dont forget how many of you boo'd an 2 x All Australian, Premiership player and Australian of the Year.. Including your President!

Go watch the Grand Final again - that was disgusting.

Your pathetic "club" spoilt the biggest game of the year by being involved in it.

 

[Doc1763]

I agree.
