Game Day AFL Finals 2024 - Match discussion party thread

[Southerntakeover]

Wonder if Sydney lose whether they will be destroyed in the media like we were in ‘17?

Wonder if they'll implode, the coach will blame the players, and they'll injure three quarters of their list next year?

 

[WeeBlake]

Skull a shot eveytime ‘Bloods’_is mentioned now LOL

Friendly question, you’re welcome here, but you know this is the game day thread on the Adelaide board right?!

 

[Anzacpaul]

Another ex-crow premiership player. Cool.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

It’s lions so long as they maintain focus

Cmon guys bury these phoneys and their 3 now 4 mates

You are getting your wish.

 

[Scorpus]

Like, of course. We're talking about his legacy. We'll never have that conversation with Nicks.

Having said that, the record is significantly inflated by the academy. Have they made the most of it?

No. That said I think this year Brisbane have the better team in terms of quality of players

Their performance against Geelong was awful.

Dogs loss they were stiff in

Fourth loss was to the triple premiership Hawthorn side.

I'd say he probably should have 2 or 3 wins out of his five so a definite underperformance

 

[Cromulant]

Brisbane are playing some ridiculous football.

Sydney need to find a decent, consistent tall forward, and a midfield with some grunt

 

[Bovo]

Brisbane's season looked dead when they drew with us.

So we are as good as Brisbane?

Sign Nicks quick!

 

[Moonwatcher]

Brisbane's goal kicking efficiency (no oob/not making distance) is 61% Sydney's 57%. Was looking like brisbane's efficiency was keeping Sydney in it till that last 10 minutes.

 

[Milo Cyrus]

How good is Ashcroft? Superb performance to half time

 

[DJ75]

Brisbane's season looked dead when they drew with us.

Had we won it probably would have been

 

[peetoo]

You are getting your wish.

Actually Parker’s making up for the 4 umpires on Sydney’s side

 

[jackster83]

Port wish they could do a Sydney

Shows you how far off Port really are. Ditto the Hawks.

GWS were desperately unlucky to have to face Brisbane in that semi final.

They're only the triple premiership Hawks because they lost.

They added Buddy Franklin to the reigning premiers and lost. Was a pretty big underperformance imo.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Neale/Ashcroft 1-2 punch out of the middle just unreal that quarter.

Either of them, or Lohmann, would be deserving of the Norm

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Rumours that Cox will take over as coach.

Outcome was not going to be good for the loser given they have both lost respectively in the last 2 grand finals.

 

[DJ75]

imagine winning a flag and getting another ashcroft in the draft. lucky buggers.

Must be nice…

 

[GreyCrow]

Well I did not expect this

 

[latinoheat]

Coleman , Doedee , Ashcroft to come into this Brisbane team also

Need a bonding camp on the Gold Coast.

 

[dblstR]

Must be on your end.

We are seeing everything go right today. GWS just should have won.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Coleman , Doedee , Ashcroft to come into this Brisbane team also

Does McCarthy get back in? Not sure he does, with how Lohmann/Ah Chee are going

 

[WeeBlake]

Another Ashcroft incoming as well.

Every premier has a ‘dynasty’ article written about them on the day after their first gf win, but their youth is seriously good: Ashcroft (x2), Lohmann, Fletcher, Wilmot, Morris. Also Coleman to come back. McCluggage, Rayner have plenty left too.

 

[Bovo]

Port wish they could do a Sydney

Port just do what Port do choke-a-doodle-do

Finishing 2nd and not playing today?

 

[Mutineer]

Don't think too many Adelaide supporters would be unhappy we took Thilthorpe over Logan McDonald on this game, so far McDonald has been the invisable player.
