Game Day 2024 Non-Swans Game Day

[TheGoatBaron]

West Coast are ****ing pathetic. Any wonder people keep knocking back their coaching job.

 

[Jack2Jack]

Smart, all the assistant coaches pulling out of the WC job. Taking on these dumpster fire lists is generally a hiding to nothing. All your senior players start jumping ship and you spend 3 years playing the kids getting flogged week in week out, only to get sacked and set up the list for the next guy to reap the rewards. Unfortunately for Yze at Richmond, gut feel is he's in that position right now.

There's probably only 1 or 2 coaches that have survived that baptism of fire and have gone on to have good careers. Think the highly rated assistants are getting smarter and which jobs to go for, wait 3 years and the WC/Richmond jobs might be available again but the lists will be a lot better to work with.

Going to be a long long way back for West Coast, far from the days of the 90s and 2000s.

Carlton also have to beat St Kilda, and I think that's the one that pulls the plan apart.

Look at Yze very highly rated before he took the senior job will probably get sacked in 1-2 years and his career is done.

Taking on teams like Richmond/Eagles without a good resume and track record is just career suicide.

's only kicked 479 goals in his career.

I say only like that's a pathetic amount lol.

He's just been such a good player for so long and feels like he's been really prolific for a long time, I'd have thought he'd be in that 600 goal range by now.

Although I suppose he has played as the second or third forward most of his career and been behind names like Franklin and Roughead for large parts.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Williams with another Hammy makes Reid look durable

 

[The King!]

Blues have 19 injured now

If it ends that way, at least we are guaranteed to wipe out a Vic side in Round 1 of finals.

Glad it’s not 480, that poster in 2012 was critical.

Squiggle would probably cry digital tears.

Carlton also have to beat St Kilda, and I think that's the one that pulls the plan apart.

Seems unlikely unless Saints simply clock off a week early.

 

[melbournehammer]

The current live ladder is how I think it will finish. Dogs v Hawks week 1. Leaving only 1 melb team in it for week 2

Could actually be the best result for us because I think those two teams are currently the best in the comp bar none

 

[GoTheSwannies]

So many dangerous teams this year. No real standout, each team has gone through peaks and troughs, but just feels like there are a bunch of dangerous teams that can turn it on in any given match.

The race is wide open imo. I can't see Cats or Carlton winning. Hawks would be unlikely given teams generally need to play a final series or two before they win a GF, it wouldn't be a huge shock if they did win it.

But realistically, I'd say the winner will be either Swans, Giants, Dogs or Lions.

St Kilda are great one week, turgid the next. I reckon they will be due a dreadful game next week - so lets hope!

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Port?

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Port?

I dont really rate them. I think they can take a scalp or two, but I don't think they have 3 high calibre games in them to go all the way.

In saying that, I'd rather avoid Port because they match up well against us.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

For certain tho the loser of this year Grand Final after the most taxing season ever would be absolutely devastating.

They will also be wrecked physically for 2025 unless the season starts later.

 

[Rhysswans13]

What margin do we have to lose to the Crows by and what margin does Port have to beat Freo by to jump us? I know it’s extremely unlikely but always good to be prepared for worst case scenario

About 90+ each

If we can avoid Port Lions or Dogs in a knock out game, guaranteed gf. We match up fine on the rest
