Really dodged a bullet there 🤣 Good things come to those who waits. Battle and Barrass are massive upgrades on those 2.

Yep not doom and gloom at all. Being 28 points up when not playing at our best and away from home, means we got a lot right and our system is resilient to some of our best players being shut out of the game (i.e Day). We got the tactics wrong in the last quarter, and Sam acknowledged this in...

We got the tactics wrong in the final quarter. Why did we send a loose man down back behind the ball? It gave them an extra around the ball and got their run going from half back and let Daniels run riot. We were smashing them in the clearances for most of the match. I get Toby and Hogan were...

Great match. In the last Q hawthorn played a loose man behind and Kingo moved Daniels on ball. Very well played by Kingo - got the Tsumani going big time. Not a great tactical decision by Mitchell and co, imo. Great match otherwise. I feel a long rivalry between these two sides brewing...

The cats played unbelievably well today unfortunately. IMO they havent played better this season. Everything was working for them - shutting down the field and turning pressure into offensive momentum. They rattled us early on and we could never get our game going based on the way they...

But but everything that challenges my insane world view is obviously ULTRA-WOKE COMMUNISM

The severity argument is valid; however, it's dismissive of several factors that should be considered within the context of this particular case. Rough conduct offences are common in the AFL; a couple of players are generally suspended on a weekly basis. They know the rules and will be punished...

no pressure on Mitchell. Hes doing fine

Inconsistency, again, the killer. The fact we used intensity to get back in that was a good sign and was fun to watch. Seemed like we lost the few moments that really flipped the momentum back in their favour. Pretty annoying we’ve come up against two sides already (Geelong, Essendon) that have...

Patience. Melbourne exposed how immature the side is. They are a very experienced outfit. Might take longer than expected to get to that level consistently. I wouldn’t exactly call Weddle, Wiz, Mackenzie, C.Mac, Day, Nuke, Ginni “vanilla”. Lots of upside in that crop. They need time and...

I’m going to put this down to Melbourne just being a very good football side. They will smash several teams in similar fashion this year. We had no answers for the way set up behind the ball and then they were pretty classy in general play too. Quite a few of our young players haven’t adjusted...

Loved his game tonight. Obviously had a huge impact defensively, but thought he was clean and smart with his hands in tight situations. Looking forward to his development. Could be an absolute weapon after a season and full preseason.

Burton has so much more improvement in him. He will bust a game open soon. Rioli, Poppy, Impey and Bruest will be absolute force when it's on the park and will an asset to midfield rotations. Very versatile.

Burton is ~sooooo~ good

Spang plays. He's been fairly average in the finals but he has definitely showed his ability to constest, contest and contest. We have a team full of skillful players, but he don't have many who will throw their body around with minimal concern for their safety. You need a few players like...

Hmm I reckon we will need hodge in the middle for a while. We will need Birchall and Suckling as the rebounders - so they play on the smalls. This will be especially required if the put the hard tag on Smith. They don't really have a good tag option for Smith - which we should try to exploit as...

2007 Geelong 92 - Collingwood 87 Port 133 - North 46 GF Cats win by 119 /thread

Very well played by Freo yesterday - you brought the pressure and subsequently we couldn't get our game going after the first quarter. Always going to be a tough day out when Mundy, Fyfe, Barlow and Hill are all firing and especially Pav. What a game. Good luck in finals - I reckon you're a...

I don't really think Freo would entertain this trade at all either. They have a pretty good set of flanks already including Michael Johnson, who is probably the best Stratton type player in the league. If you want to talk trades, you need to think of the kind of player that they need too, which...

Its not really looking like there'll be plently. The last time a team in the top 8 lost to a team in the bottom 10 was in round 9 when Adelaide beat Collingwood at home. Since then it was round 1 when Sydney and North lost to GWS and Essendon. It's going to be insanely close at the end of the...

I feel sorry for you that you think this way. Its a damn shame.

Ugh....

He was the first ever person to be drafted to publicly admit he's gay. People obviously don't see this as 'nothing'. Why are you so stressed about it?

Depth. Which we obviously really need right now. No longer in the 22 when at full strength though.

Not much has been said about how good GWS were today. They probably played their best game since beating Sydney. When they have their tails up they can play very good footy and it definitely seems as though they have their biggest lifts against good teams. They'll be consistently tough in a...

Phew.

Easy. In 2012 when Hawkins kicked it from outside 50 on the siren to beat us by 2 points after we had a 50 point come back. Hurt more than the 2012 GF.

This is ridiculous. You're in a stadium that often has more that 50,000 people. They are going to get things/go to the toilet/come late. This kind of thing generally sorts itself out if the game is close by the 4th quarter - most will be glued to the seat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

True, but it's still a great test of both team's depth and respective game plans. The outs are both quite significant. Both have good depth. Should be interesting.
