Game Day 2024 Non-Swans Game Day

[Swannie0307]

I did just laugh at the pies run home.
MCG

… and STILL won’t make the 8

 

[Swannie0307]

So folks - who’s getting suspended from this game ?

No one, they’re all Victorian!

 

[Troystenvic]

Collingwood have a tough month coming up after their bye....

Goldcoast Away
Essendon
Geelong
Scumthorn.

Could lose em all

3 out of 4 so far C'mon Scumthorn and your flog coach and wanka fans

 

[RilesMacca]

Pretty scrappy night of footy, alot of turnovers but the pies just look so ordinary against a strong team defence. Couldn't move it well at all late, think Murphy has been a massive loss for them too. Gelled so well with the likes of Quaynor and Moore.

Technically they have to win games not just play at the MCG.

I have no idea who Ollie Dempsey is -
But he just played 100% ToG.

And thus beat Errol to Everest.

Plenty of players play 100% ToG don't they?

In his first season as well. Reckon he will be a gun.

Do they? I thought it was almost unheard of …. but could be wrong.

Just had a look, Wilkie played 100% TOG against us last week for instance, as did Langdon against WCE and Luke Ryan against Richmond.

Have said this a few times but I think Collingwood is in for a world of hurt in the next few years.

They still look their best when Pendlebury, Sidebottom, Crisp etc. are all up and about, but they're near the end (well, the first two are.) Tied into this, their lack of young midfielders is a massive worry. In, say, three years time, at centre bounces it's gonna be Nick Daicos and then who? Presumably this is why they went after Bailey Smith

and one of our own, but doesn't seem clear that they're landing many of these midfield targets.

But maybe the best worst part is they are starting to lose their 'aura'. I think they were deserving premiers as the best team all last year, but as far as premiers go I think they were one of the weaker premiers in recent times. A lot of very average players buying in combined with their propensity for comeback victories and winning close games meant teams feared them. Now they are just the team that have bottled a handful of close games and that struggle to score enough to pull off comebacks regularly. Without that aura that got them to a preliminary final followed by a flag, what even are Craig McCrae's Collingwood? Just a bunch of average players, aging veterans and kids not showing a whole heap.

(OK fine, I'll be fair and balanced - they also have one freakish player in Daicos.)

Daicos carries them on his back. Unbelievable player.

Daicos and Harley Reid..........

Imagine the uproar if we had 6 of the last 7 games at the SCG while being reigning premier from the land of whinging?

 

[TheGoatBaron]

What time is the Spain v England match on? I've been brushing up on my Spanish! This is a non-Swans game, so appropriate thread.

430 for 5 am kick off I think.
Followed by Colombia V Argentina at 10 am in the Copa Americas fina..
Day off worthy.

 

[ShireSwan]

Hamling again - 24 goals for the year. Swans look second best around the ground but hanging in there.

If I have a bout of insomnia, will try and watch England lose. Thank you!

Southgate won't make the changes everyone can see are needed. England will lose as a result.


Swans hanging in there in the third...

Phillies lost and Yankees are winning in the 9th. This maybe a bad day for me!

 

[TheGoatBaron]

A fight in the baseball.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

I've gone with the Dockers over the Hawks today in the other game starting 1:45pm, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Hawks can cause an upset though.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Dockers by 5 pts over the Hawks @ QT

Hawks by 7 pts over the Dockers @ HT!
