Game Day 2018 Grand Final discussion

[Kil Phearns]

I feel sick.

 

[Gralin]

It's only 3 goal gap at quarter time

 

[beta_condition]

"Not hard" "only a toe poke" Fine ump let's see you get kicked in the face with that toe poke.

 

[Pessimistic]

So far a repeat of 2015. Eagles not settled at all.

Except they have the immunity Rioli this time

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

I'll be honest ..... no Hawthorn, no interest.

 

[Spursfan]

It's only 3 goal gap at quarter time

those last 2 goals have kept some interest

 

[Off The Couch]

That should of been kicking in danger - it’s irrelevant if it’s “just a toe poke”


I’m also confused as to why the ball up had the ump backing out towards goal rather than to the boundary - is there a particular rule to this

 

[markr]

I know it's rampant in the game these days, but I'd love to see them clamp down on holding and shepherding in marking contests. Goldsack is hanging off Kennedy trying to keep him away from the ball, and at the other end Mayne basically tackled McGovern out of a pack to stop him jumping at it.

 

[Spursfan]

Feeling more like the interstate teams are irrelevant as far as premierships are concerned. Can't beat a victorian team on MCG in a GF

It’s the Richmond rule - caddy and jack smash the pack early and that leaves the crumbs for their smaller players

Shits me no end but they are “supposedly in the marking contest”

Thank god eagles got the last 2 goals. Was contemplating going to the movies and watching Predator instead.

 

[Billyc]

This is gross. Been a horrible season, horrible finals and GF looking like a stinker. Eagles really shitting the bed. Again

They could, but I just get the feeling West Coast have too many front runners in their team.

 

[grumbleguts]

Happens every year

 

[hfc70]

Decoy Darling !? Woeful

How bad are Pie supporters ? Plain embarrassing...boo every player....don’t know the rules FMD

2012.

 

[striker]

2012.

Huh, what's that? Never heard of it.

 

[Off The Couch]

The Hannebery hit

 

[kazzooka]

Love that from Ryan. I've wanted to see Maynard decked for the last 15 years.

 

[grumbleguts]

Can Bruce McAvany ruin the football anymore than he already does?

 

[Off The Couch]

Darling certainly living up to his reputation

 

[kazzooka]

Looking for his second Leon, might have to rename the award.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Brody Mihocek is another good story in this game but is overshadowed by all the other stories. Last year he would have been celebrating a VFL premiership still - a year later he is playing on the MCG in front of 100,000+.

 

[kazzooka]

Varcoe playing well.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Cracking grand final goal, that.
