Game Day 2023 Non-Swans Game Day

[wills2g]

Melbourne's spot in the 8 also up for grabs

 

[bloodsbigot]

The Dee's have Swanitise!

The cause is playing Geelong.

 

[bloodsbigot]

Saints surely aren't going to lose to eagles?

 

[the hypnotoad]

Cruel joke is the perfect way to describe it.

My theory on life is that everything happens for a reason - maybe this seasons pain and suffering will better prepare us for our forthcoming fourpeat!

just look at geelong 2005, 2006, 2007 ...

impossible to comprehend it's the same west coast team

 

[wills2g]

We need to start winning like saints bombers and melb spots all up for grabs

 

[MR0808]

Let's hope West Coast does the right thing for us today!

What sort of connection does that have to our side?

 

[Nuggetz]

and colleagues....

Some fellas started a "physio" chant when he was lining up for goal, had a bit of a chuckle. He also missed the goal

geelong in 2005 were a team on the rise (we stopped that rise)
they started 2006 with a developing team and high expectations, and blew up ... missed finals, coach thompson almost sacked
2007 premiers

we were the team on the rise last year, arguably overachieved making the gf
high expectations on us this year and things have continued to go wrong
next year we win the first of four straight premierships (there maybe some licence being taken with that last part ... but it's almost certainly accurate)

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

5.15 wtf?

Did they miss from the goal square as well?

The uncompetiveness is the thing that worries me about this club.

we weren't "uncompetitive" friday night

Yes agree but not the same circumstances nor the same opponent.

Almost right, but I spoke to my psychic friend, it's actually 4 from the next 5

Very apt comparison actually.
And no licence taken at all, it's all but guaranteed

 

[the hypnotoad]

we've been better the past few weeks
and there are several obvious reasons for our overall disappointing season so far ... key injuries affected structure, confidence and cohesion had been smashed
we will continue to improve this season
and i am very enthusiastic about the next few years

see, that's two sources!!

AFL created a rule after our third that the Swans can't be in 4 GF in a row. Corruption at its best!

Agree thought we started the improvement in the Brisbane game back to backing our skills through the middle and improved forward and midfield cohesion.

Just lacking firepower to beat the top 8 sides not surprising as Heeney and Franklin were 50 goal kickers in 2022 and Reid hasn't played a game.

reid a big loss but the mccartins even bigger

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

This season unpredictability is ridiculous.
