Game Day 2024 Non-Swans Game Day

[Kiama Chris]

Gone straight back up again they will be tough to beat

Yep. Soon as I said that.

 

[swanssince2002]

GWS definitely favourites so far this season, they just get momentum back so easily.

Games like this are why I can't stand disposal efficiency as a stat.

So many blind handballs and kicks forward where the ball could end up with anyone and the AFL actually has the gall to say some are effective disposals and some aren't based on the luck of who is there to receive it

 

[Kiama Chris]

GWS and Geelong only 2 sides undefeated.

Blues say hold my beer

Oh forgot about them! hard to imagine they will also be undefeated

 

[swanssince2002]

GWS changed coaches at the right time imo... gave Cameron plenty of time in his tenure but seemed like he lost his voice in the room eventually.

Now Coniglio revived his career under Kingsley after being dropped a few times.

 

[caesar88]

IMO Geelong scare me most. They've got that finals choking monkey off their backs now, biggest home ground advantage in footy, and they also have the most unique weapons. Like WTF can you even do as an opposition coach with Hawkins at forward stoppages and Blicavs in the midfield other than hope that they have a bad day?

 

[caesar88]

Every team and potentially the last 3 undefeated teams all have a three tall forward line but also all have at the bare minimum 3 small forwards

We've had three talls and most of the time only 1 small forward with a resting mid.

Was always going to be such an obvious shortcoming.

Also the 3 teams that trouble us the most

Ideally you have Wicks/Papley in there and Konstanty but he hasnt come on yet.

Its why we are forced to play Fox in that role.

We play our best small forward out of the forward line too often as well IMO, then we use a mid/small fwd spot as a defensive role

 

[swanssince2002]

As I say that, yikes that looked nasty for Coniglio

 

[The King!]

Maybe the plan is for Parker to unlock the forward line a bit?

I dont mind three talls, but not sure it is the current 3.

Oh I'm not blaming Fox at all, I actually like him in that role. I think he's quick, he's hard, he chases. I just think he needs help. Need at least one other small forward who can bring the pressure. IMO we have one too many runners and the resting mid thing isn't achieving much.

Parker's not quick though. He's not gonna be able to zip around causing chaos as seems to be the way footy is trending.

I have a feeling he'll just be thrown into Fox's role and nothing will be changed

I have a feeling Parker will be in centre bounces more often than not tbh

There is one other guy we could try when he is allowed back

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

F/S are coming through thick n fast for some clubs in today academy game.

The Lions Ashcroft brothers look incredible as do Carlton Duo.

 

[The King!]

Just registering my thoughts that the Crows are a sneaky chance today

they have a habit of beating Carlton and Cerra is out

 

[bloodsbigot]

Interesting finish

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Wow, surely the Saints can’t steal this?

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Wut Giants gone back to sleep?

At Marvel? would be a massive upset.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Damn lol

Just a feeling

It could be gas
