AFL Grand Final 2023 AFL Grand Final - Carringbush v Brisbane 🏆

[thylacine60]

It’s our next 6-8 that’s the problem. Our bottom six is good enough when we aren’t stacked with injuries but the minute we have 6-8 on the injury list we become a bog average team.

wut?

 

[Jimthegreat]

Someone wrote during the week our bottom 6 wouldn't walk into the other top 4 sides. I saw players win a premiership yesterday who ain't any better than our bottom 6.

We were winning huge games, often easily, in our run that often had 6 good players out, including the Collingwood game. Our bottom 6 weren't too bad. Not to mention the bottom 6 more after that.

Alot say "you can't win a flag with such and such in your side". This proves you can. Billy Frampton now has one more premiership medal than Nathan Buckley. We all look for the perfect team. No team is perfect. We are ripe next year. The run of 8 losses in 9 weeks killed our season. Had too much to do and it cooked us in the end. 3 months of sudden death matches takes it's toll. Win 3 of those games, finish top 4 and I reckon we'd have won it this year.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Frampton got 2 possies and has a premiership medal. I reckon I could get at least 3, put me in Coach!

It’s a bit of a spew that they managed to win this one as I can’t see them being competitive in 2 years with all the inevitable outgoings. The Weagles had way less resting on 30+ year olds in 2018 than the Pies did this year.

Of their Premiership winning side, 9 will be 30+ next year. That doesn’t include Adams, who didn’t play but is absolutely best 18.

To illustrate how dire it’s gonna get, here are the 10 with their successors that are on their current list (that didn’t play yesterday, obviously):

They are deadset cooked with that list profile! They’ve pulled it off this year and that’s what they’ll be judged on but wow, if the Lions knocked them off we’d have had years and years to hold over them.

It was a great game though and they did deserve to win, and were very fun to watch. But wowee we could’ve had a golden era of taunting the black and white army had they lost in the last minute then fell away to obscurity for years.

 

[AndyLucimitis]

The day after the GF and I’ve got to say it. Collingwood look unbeatable. They do everything better than everyone else. May as well hand them the Cup now and not bother about 2024.

Superteam - won three finals by a total of 12 points !!

Far from it. Our depth is deeper than almost all teams. We used more players than Melbourne and Brisbane this year because of injury.

Brisbane had 9 players play every game, a further 3 miss one game and a further 3 miss two games. A total of 15 players missed 2 games or less.

Collingwood had 4 players every game, 3 miss one game, 5 miss two games. A total of 12 players missed 2 or less.

Melbourne, 5 every game, 4 miss one game, 5 miss 2. Total of 14 missed less 2 or less.

GWS, 3 every game, 3 miss 1 game and 2 miss 2 games. Total of 8 missed 2 or less.

Port, 6 played every game, 3 missed one game, 1 missed one game. A total of 10 missed 2 or less.

Carlton 2 played every game, 2 missed one game and 2 missed two games. A total of 6 players missed 2 games or less.

Our depth stacked up very well.

Our depth stacked up very well.

I think we tend to drop off significantly when a certain amount of players aren’t in our forward half and backline. That’s just what my eyes tell me. I can’t argue with those numbers though

Fly will try to emulate Clarko and top up to plug holes to continue the premiership window.

Yeah, I agree - I just don't see how they're going to achieve that given how much money is tied up in their top end by all reports. Plus, they have no depth to trade out. Of the players that didn't play in the 23 on the weekend that are 28 or younger, all would only have nominal value on the trade table except John Noble and Ash Johnson - both of which would command a late 2nd or early 3rd at most.

Anyway, credit to them - they've achieved the ultimate. That list just looks like a disaster waiting to happen in a few years.

I'm not so sure it does. Plenty of variety and talent in their below 27 demographics.

 

[thylacine60]

anyone thinking the pies will fall off the earth in the next few years is being a little overly hopeful - they have the same opportunities to bring in new talent as the rest of us - sure their draft picks may be shallow but that will made up for by now being the ultimate destination club...............


little overly - foxymoron?

 

[My Hat]

A Magpies fan gave his dad a premiership tattoo. It didn’t end well

Amid the delirium of Collingwood’s grand final win on Saturday, Zak Ashton learnt how to set up a tattoo gun by watching TikToks. Unfortunately for his dad Matt, things went downhill from there.

Hey dude we came third, from the top, not third last!!!! WTF is going through these people's heads? We came third and are happy, better be careful they'll be telling us we're accepting failure, settling for second best, blah, blah, blah..........

Same campaigners no matter what the Team achieves, should we win the flag next year, it'll be that we didn't smash them, and win by 50 points......

 

[RPCB]

Someone wrote during the week our bottom 6 wouldn't walk into the other top 4 sides. I saw players win a premiership yesterday who ain't any better than our bottom 6.

I doubt the average supporter could name the bottom 6 of every top 4 side.

Lol chill dude, even the itks just said the club believe we need to strengthen our depth. I don’t think I’m being unreasonable. Great finish to the year but if we just ignore what happened throughout the campaign and just expect we’ll continue onto next year in the same way we ended the year then we’re just being complacent. We’ve got to keep the standard high now

 

[Graffy4242]

Apparently Markov wearing a Blues jumper with his premiership medal to their Mad Monday celebrations as an "up yours" to us for not selecting him. What a campaigner.

Hilarious that they are still thinking of us when they just won the flag.

Can't wait to play them next year.
