2016 Non-Crows AFL Discussion - Cont. in Part 2 (link in OP)

[SugarShane]

I can promise everyone that the Crows won't be playing this version of the Bulldogs next Saturday. We'll get the top 4 version next week bookmark it !!!

Seems like nearly every second week we're up against a team with something to prove. Got North in Rd 1 when they hadn't won in R1 for years, got Richmond after a bad beat, got the Hawks after they nearly dropped the St Kilda game, got Freo this week after losing to Carlton, had Sydney while they were still undefeated. And now the Doggies after their worst performance.

 

[relapse]

I've liked their Top 2 version, so the Top 4 version means they aren't going to be as good as their Top 2 form?

Well tonight they looked more like a bottom 8 side, maybe someone had a valid point earlier in the week that their constant run of games at Etihad is taking its toll on them.

 

[Huntercrow]

Pathetic rendition of the song!

Their CEO would not be happy with that effort

 

[Mattrox]

Just got a text from a North mate: "Crowd of 47k!! What do you call that?"

Me: "For us, a poor home crowd".

That is gold!

 

[JP Sauce]

What a shit house game. Bulldogs have only played two proper teams this year and lost both times.

 

[Mattrox]

URGH. Watching North win to go six-zip just annoys me even more that we lost to this mob. They're so overrated. If only we picked Hartigan over VB, we might've kept Waite quiet.

All that builds is a false sense of security and a goodly dose of hubris!

Is Geoff Walsh related to Phil?

Good! We need to play under pressure.

No

 

[Red mist]

No

Ok cool. I wasn't being insensitive. I apologise anyways.

 

[Redleg Crow]

You could argue we've only played 3 proper teams and lost twice...

 

[NikkiNoo]

Fair play Danger

 

[Sam_Malone]

No need to apologise for asking a question.

 

[jenny61_99]

I picked Norf by 17.

Me too!

 

[GROTTO]

True, but we had North on toast at 3/4 time and choked. In addition to poor selection decisions, I think our form is better than the Dogs. Not to mention also the Dogs played the Hawks when they were missing quite a few players compared to when they played us.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Like Freo last year

Even though Freo finished minor premiers I never believed that they could seriously challenge for the flag

true but they are a bigger chance than Freo ever were because they can score

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

I picked Norf by 17.

I picked 15 points. Was hoping for a rushed behind in the last few minutes.

 

[Huntercrow]

Overall a disappointing game.

I expected more from these 2 teams. Bullies haven't had a Friday night game for 4 years....

They can't complain with the lack of exposure after tonight's performance.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Lyndsey Thomas is a flog

Are you Rooch?

Very, very old news!

 

[GROTTO]

+1

Thats the funny thing about Grand Finals you need to score a total bigger than the opposition to win it.

Freo did choke in front of goals back in 2013 GF, kicing 8.14 will not win you a grand final.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I picked 16 points. Was hoping for a rushed behind in the last few minutes.

It was 16 points wasn't it?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Why are the Bulldogs so difficult to score against this year?

Because they haven't played many decent attacks. Reckon we will kick 100+ against them next week as our talls stretch them. Adams sore at the end too.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Whoops typo - I went 15 points.
