Preview AFL 2017 - FW1 - Geelong v Richmond, Fri, 19:50 AEST, Sep 08, 2017

[FISTO]

The only thing worse than the shitness of both teams in this game is listening to Dermie talk.

I'm watching two teams absolutely certain to not win the premiership.

Thats what they said about Trump buddy

 

[E Shed]

Maybe. But I've seen far better games judged worse

I believe thats more about people on this site wanting to disparage anything not involving their own team or just to appear too cool for school by saying how boring it all is.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact there's been 41 points scored in a half of footy?

Thats finals footy. The effort and pressure is incredible and the contested ball is as tough as it gets. Thrilling contest for mine.

Great atmosphere at the match but another few goals or at very least clean possessions wouldn't be bad.

To an indepenent watcher .....was last nights game bad?

Nothing more than a round 10 twilight game.

The

Great contest. Don't understand people saying its boring. Good tough finals footy.
Feel for Richmond letting those 2 late ones in after a super half.

this. I don't mind low scoring games. Richmond are smashing them but not on the scoreboard

When there's no goals you might as well watch 207

Holy shit, you lot saying the game is boring are crazy. Pressure is immense in this game im loving it

Agree with this. Although the fumbling and general skill errors are frustrating to watch, and probably above average even for a high pressure final, the attack on the man with the ball is great to see. Open free flowing footy is fun to watch, but so is the brutal brand being played out there by the tiges. So disappointing for tigers to cough up those two goals in the last 90 seconds after the effort they'd put in. Hopefully they keep going with what was working for them in the first half, as with a touch more composure and the same level of pressure they could easily break the game open. A bit worried that pressure will be hard to maintain for the full distance, and with such a small reward on the scoreboard Geelong will be able to finish over them.

 

[Power Raid]

I love the tight ones

Nothing more than a round 10 twilight game.

Yeah i can understand that .....i was a touch bored, and i'm a Crow supporter?

 

[Deathly]

Sydney players are probably all sitting at a campfire right now laughing at this dribble.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Holy shit, you lot saying the game is boring are crazy. Pressure is immense in this game im loving it

Good call. I love this kind of game.

Reckon the game will open up in this quarter. They can't keep it up for a whole match
