Game Day AFL Finals 2024 - Match discussion party thread

[pjcrows]

We offered Dew an assistant coach position, but wouldn't move Burns down a rung, so he said no.

Brisbane identified they needed a specific skills coach, so they paid to get him, and there he is on the ground celebrating with the most skilled team by foot in the competition.

Port broke Sydney.

 

[Southerntakeover]

****ing hell, his brothers gone why are we still being cursed with this McLachlan fail child?

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Not defending our performance, but the amount of shit we copped is hugely disproportionate compared to some of the other GF smashings there's been.

I remember the thread on the main board, there was a Port fan saying it was the worst GF loss of all time. I reminded him that Port have the record at 119 and he said it didn't count because Geelong were good and Richmond are shit.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Still a bit of a question mark over some of their mids when the game isn't going their way. Gulden especially.

Grundy & their 3 gun midfielders didn't turn up today.

 

[The Karma Bus]

Only way 119 is going away is if 16 clubs get done for jabby jab Bomber style except 1st and 18th on the ladder.

Even then, probably still lives on forever in all its glory..

Clement the pig selects Sydney:

This year's AFL grand final winner was decided in January, if Clement the 'psychic' pig is correct

In January, a Gippsland farmer set his pig Clement the challenge of picking this year's AFL grand final winner on live radio and, on Saturday, we will find out whether the big pig tip is on the money.

Edit: Mrs Arrowman has asked to be credited with finding this.

Someone roast that dumb pig!

 

[baldandbroke]

If neale gets the norm, 2 brownlows a norm and a flag isn’t a bad resume

He was their best in my book. So many important contests won.

Entitlement...

 

[arrowman]

Oscar the happiest of the lot

Great to see. Not a hint of self-pity.

 

[GROTTO]

Grundy & their 3 gun midfielders didn't turn up today.

Lions off the back of 3 consecutive away games too.

 

[Owen_AFC97]

Wtf is that haircut

 

[Crow till I die]

119 is safe

It is safe

 

[WetCrow1991]

Teams that are up that long tend to win flags... unless they're Port.

Telling that the Crows have never had a sustained period of contending. Only ever done 2 years.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

119 is safe

Not even close & Sydney had their score doubled... yet still half of the Port margin.

You've only just worked out that Australian media is based on nepotism and which private school you went to?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

A touch of the Port Powers about them

Some pretty ordinary types around a star-studded midfield

Cunningham, McInerney, Melican, McLean just triers
Rampe and Parker done
McDonald and Amartey good enough?

They don't really have match winning tall forwards... unless Keane is playing.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Rampe close up looks like 40 years old.

 

[FR0GGY]

Stevie Hungry J’s

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

What a jet Ashcroft is
Fresh off an ACL too, ridiculous

 

[Danger in Texas]

Most damaging player today

Deserved

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Lions off the back of 3 consecutive away games too.

They did it the hard way.

Think playing on the bigger MCG last week gave them an advantage.

 

[Scorpus]

Nicks confused why a kid is in a position to win a Norm Smith

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Nicks confused why a kid is in a position to win a Norm Smith

Shouldn't he have been playing half forward with some lengthy stints as sub?
