Game Day AFL Finals 2024 - Match discussion party thread

[fuic08]

Watson is showing short people can play in the AFL but they have to be fast. Take notes Hamish. No more McHenrys please.

McHenry could be as fast as Bolt but he'd still suck

Cats v Hawks prelim is going to be a cracker

That's impossible, who ever wins Port v Hawthorn will play the winner of the Sydney game tomorrow

 

[jackster83]

How the heck did the Hawks get Calsher Dear with pick 56?? He looks so impressive. He’s the brother of our Harry Dear, who had so much potential but could never put it all together.

Hawthorn would be kicking themselves for not leaving him in the reserves for four years though.

That's how you're supposed to develop players. Just ask any of the club apologists around here.

They are what we should be now

There are winner clubs such as the Hawks, Swans and Cats. Regardless of advantages, these clubs know what it takes to either rebuild swiftly or manage their lists well enough and recruit strategically to bounce back.

We are amongst the loser clubs with North, St Kilda, Freo, Carlton and Essendon because of ongoing incompetency that festers in an ooze of mediocrity or shitness.

Dogs fans would be frustrated they have had an elite midfield and after that GF win should have been contending for years.

Surely our board room morons would watch this game and think
"hmmm, those young hawks are doing well after starting their rebuild after ours. They look like they enjoy themselves, celebrate goals, embrace the occasion. What is the difference??"

No they wouldn’t. They too busy jerking eachother off!

Our board is useless and made up of jobs for the boys nuffies who are ego maniacs!

F our board!

 

[STrAng3C1oUdZ]

Love the vision of Mitchell talking to Choll on the bench great coaching telling him to put this week behind him

Who is the last person to be a Premiership Captain and Coach for the same club?


Even winning a Premiership and coaching one at the same club is rare.

 

[pjcrows]

Port v Hawthorn Friday night.

Port have many weak links so Hawks will be fine with 1

I hear you… but I am still wary. The Hawks momentum is great, but it can turn quickly, a young team, travelling interstate etc. Poort come out breathing fire for Dad and it could rattle them (Hawks). Cannot relax til Port are done. Hopefully these umpires will help Hawrhorn next week lol.

He’s only playing because Mitch Lewis did an ACL

 

[Danger in Texas]

C MacDonald is a bloody star

I can see the AFC office bearers watching this game the same way the New York Yacht Club first reacted when a bunch of Aussies showed up with a winged keel.

Novel but not the way things are done around here.

Cats v Hawks prelim is going to be a cracker

That cant happen can it? Wrong side of the draw?

 

[jackster83]

Getting rid of that spud O'Meara and Mitchell was the best thing Hawthorn ever did.

Meanwhile we're still fielding a midfield of Laird and Crouch every ****ing week. What a joke.

 

[The Karma Bus]

C MacDonald is a bloody star

Just saying about how much I like him.
And where do they pull all these various guys from and develop them well.

Alex Jesaulenko in 1979 was captain coach that year

 

[Drummond]

How did Scimshaw develop into a bit of a gun too?

This says it all.
Vision.
So frustrating.

Might dust off my 1990 Hawthorn scarf and go Friday night.


My old jumper could be a bit tight....

 

[STrAng3C1oUdZ]

Interesting hearing Hodge talk about Mitchell going to West Coast to get a different perspective to make him a better coach, definitely something our club could learn from.

Also side note would love to have Hodge involved with the club some how, I know its a pipe dream but he has so much footy smarts

You beauty...
