Love watching Melbourne lose. They are so incredibly unlikeable

Completely agree, screw them. Especially after what happened at the bank earlier this year. Can’t stand them.

7 goals from 69 inside 50s. Now that’s real footy.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen such a selfish collection of forwards in a team.

Hopefully they get done next week so we don’t have to watch too much more of that.

Watch some of the games Brisbane played in 1998 when they finished bottom of the ladder and you'll see how quickly this can improve with a good coach. The Lions got the spoon that year and they had the vast majority of their triple premiership players on that list already.

Brisbane had played in finals for the previous three years, including making a preliminary final. 1998 was a bad year but was a blip, due to post-merger player factionalism, relationships with and between coaches, and a significant injury to Michael Voss. Not saying Gold Coast can't rise up the ladder but the circumstances are quite different.

When Petracca got that free for holding when he dropped the ball stone cold just before 3/4 time it was like revisiting our game
It seems Oliver and Petracca have now reached Dangerfield levels of becoming the 5th on field umpire
They just have to ask the question and the feeble minded umpires just cave
Oliver has become immensely dislikable
Add in Cromagnon May and Toilet Brush Fritsch and you are definitely approaching Brisbane levels of douchebaginess

I quite enjoyed the shanks...

Giants in finals and doing well

The pain....

 

[Young_Guns]

Watching the Giants gives you hope that maybe a change in coaching philosophy really is all that’s needed for us to climb the ladder.

They are so incredibly well coached. Their defensive setup is top 3 in the league, their forwards all understand their role and just execute that, and they have enough class in the middle to break even. And they are fast as f*ck as a team.

 

[kreglze]

Giants are such a well run organisation top to bottom. Their crowd numbers being worse than ours is hard to fathom despite their relative success.

 

[sunsofanarchy]

I can't wait to see our players play on the big stage, but first we need to learn to wrestle momentum and not concede 7 goals in a quarter

The culture was set up correctly from the start at GWS. They had the highly successful coaches in Kevin Sheedy and Choco Williams making sure everything was done correctly and the foundations were strong to ensure the good team culture we see to this day. We had a rookie coach in Guy McKenna who had really achieved nothing and the one assistant coach we had that was highly rated was Ken Hinkley but we weren't willing to pull the trigger when his time came so Hinkley went to another club and proved to be a success.

In saying that, you can fix culture over a period of time and I think it would be fair to say Dew at least improved the culture that was really weighing us down in 2018 when he took over. Now we have a guy that has all the tools to really embed a proven winning culture so I'm personally very optimistic about where we are going. We made a lot of mistakes in the past but you can undo a lot of that if you bring in the right people at the right time and Dimma feels like the right person at the right time. The first decade of the Brisbane Bears vs their second decade proves it and a lot of it had to do with bringing in Leigh Matthews at the right time in 1998.

They still have a lot of experienced players who are exceptionally good like Green, Whitefield, Kelly etc. who are able to carry the team.

Makes a big difference and something we seriously lack, with only Miller there. Let’s the younger players just play their role and share the load.

When GWS are on, they are good to watch.

They are fantastic to watch.

Sorry for the interruption.

is it this year?

 

[Ben Drever]

Damn.

Damn.

Love how clubs like North, genuine cellar dwellers, get linked to good trade pick ups every year. And they want additional assistance when they can attract legitimate players?

Geard Healy brings it up everytime he commentates how close the Swans were to drafting Flanders, big miss by them, and a great get by us

Good?

I wouldn't be calling Dylan Stephens good.

If he couldn't progress in the Swans program, he's not good.

Yeah fair. Might have jumped on the hyperbole there.

It was more a general comment on their ability to attract players from other states each year, even when they are a shamble of a club. Granted not always A graders, but their clubs is at least linked to players.

Besides the same Dusty rumours over the last few years, we get crickets.

Was talking up Flanders to my Crows mate all draft, went with McAsey.... and Flanders would be perfect in their midfield right now.

Only linked to Dusty, Prestia & Rance with a good cap now........

is a rare bust for the Swans, he will be a decent C grade player and probably won't cut it once NM's top end draft talent from the next couple of years matures.

Looking like it was an elite draft, crows and Sydney have missed big time.

 

[Young_Guns]

If these are 2 of the top 6 teams in the comp then maybe we really aren’t all that far off it.
