Game Day AFL Finals 2024 - Match discussion party thread

[Moonwatcher]

I only just learnt recently that George Kapiniaris (Memo) was the guy on the RAA ads for all those years.

How is that possible

 

[peetoo]

Starting to realise why swans are chasing Frosty

 

[Crow-eater]

I wonder what history says for the easy run in to the GF vs the hard run in.

Brisbane really riding their momentum

The question becomes, do they run out of gas? And if they do, will Sydney be close enough?

 

[GROTTO]

This is over.

Sydney are $14 at HT to win the game.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

How is that possible

Acropolis Now started a bit before my time.

 

[WeeBlake]

So…might as well walk away from AFL then because we will never benefit like this

A couple of genuine gun father sons would do it. We’ve had no decent freebies since Betts (ten years ago).

 

[Mutineer]

freebie a graders (academy, free agents, and father sons) are an essential part of sustained success.

And they'll keep coming for a while yet if today's U17's Futures game and this years U16's Nationals are an indicator.
That's without this draft again where Levi Ashcroft, Sam Marshall and Leo Lombard aren't available to other clubs and all absolute top end talent.

What pisses you off more is Ashcroft and Marshall have both been in the Sandringham Dragons/Vic APS system for their development.

 

[peetoo]

Hodgey shillng predatory high interest loans.

Yes not smart

After their back to back hard games i thought they would completely run out of gas.

Refreshing to see such aggressive play through the corridor, reminds me of peak cats around 07-11.

Happy for the Lions and Charlie. Wish Jarryd could've been out there though.

Do hope the Lions win from 5th, it will give some hope at least to teams falling outside the Top 4 that make the 8.

 

[Samcro24]

Hamil off to HIA after the sprint

 

[WetCrow1991]

Brisbane senior players really need to publicly shame goal celebrations. Not a lot of team first there. Must be why Brisbane are so bad.

 

[peetoo]

Sydney are $14 at HT to win the game.

They have never won a grand final second half not in the last 4 or 5

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Sydneys rooms at HT bringing back some 2017 trauma for me.

 

[The Karma Bus]

Friendly question, you’re welcome here, but you know this is the game day thread on the Adelaide board right?!

Nope and still not by the look.
Will hurt if we lose Frosty though.

 

[Cromulant]

Dunno , wouldn’t write Sydney off yet , they’re 4th quarter specialist

Brisbane came from 44 down a couple weeks back

This is over

 

[WeeBlake]

Hodgey shillng predatory high interest loans.

It’s gross

 

[Crow-eater]

Sydneys rooms at HT bringing back some 2017 trauma for me.

Why? We're they punching on?

 

[GROTTO]

We were only down by 9pts, I had hope still.

Especially considering we were behind in 97 and 98 at HT.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Why? We're they punching on?

No. Just some thousand yard stares.

 

[peetoo]

Nope and still not by the look.

Just noticed wtf happened? Why am I here?

Have a great rest of the day guys

 

[arrowman]

Do hope the Lions win from 5th

Well if you take out Port the fake top 4 side, the Lions actually finished 4th.

 

[Mutineer]

Longmire's test is to get his players up to at least make it competitive.

 

[DJ75]

Brisbane senior players really need to publicly shame goal celebrations. Not a lot of team first there. Must be why Brisbane are so bad.

If only the senior players would pull their heads in. Absolutely disrespectful.

 

[Cromulant]

Don't think too many Adelaide supporters would be unhappy we took Thilthorpe over Logan McDonald on this game, so far McDonald has been the invisable player.

Didn't even think he was out there
