Game Day AFL Finals 2024 - Match discussion party thread

[The Karma Bus]

4 clubs remaining, all from different states.

Not sure how Brent Daniels will look himself in the mirror after that. That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen on a football field. Ever. And the cost of it, wowwww.

Funny, cause IIRC he was the match winner in the 2019 semi vs Brisbane

From match winner, to match loser, against the same team nonetheless

 

[Moonwatcher]

Do we know the times of the games next week?

 

[Syd Crow]

Two chokes in a row, maybe Kenny should show Adam Kinglsey how to coach in finals.

He has!

 

[hippyhippy]

Brent Daniels, 2x50m penalties and that soccer.

One of those 50s was very dodgy... He didn't even hear the umpire

 

[treeman]

So how does the Adelaide Bigfooty board feel about super coach Adam Kingsley

I think he is above average but definitely needs to tweak some of his methods.

Brisbane played such a cautious, timid brand of football early by choice

Then fell behind and had to throw caution to the wind. Suddenly played better. Took risks. Had no other choice.

Some similarities with us. Need to fall behind and throw the game plan out the window to be a chance against good teams.

Disgusting joke of a game..
Umpiring was just ridiculously biased toward the lions

It really was

 

[jackster83]

What a shit weekend of football.

Good games but bad results lol.

 

[BunjiMC]

Similar shots have been brought back before though.

You are right. But this time, I think it was the correct decision.......among an amazing amount of poor decisions.

Except we don't have Neale, Dunkley, McCluggage or Ashcroft in the middle.

And they're about to be gifted a top five pick midfielder in this year's draft.

Get the shit out of the way

 

[Scorpus]

Gotta hope for a Sydney vs Brisbane grand final

 

[1970crow]

Yep. Geelong are straight through

Reckon they beat the Cats at the G.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Want the giants to win the flag but I think their too vulnerable to momentum swings to do it.

 

[PCORF]

Good chance we have a past GF rematch.

From most likely to least likely.

Sydney vs Geelong (2022)
Geelong vs Port (2007)
Sydney vs Brisbane (never met in a GF)
Port vs Brisbane (2004)

Geelong = Victoria's last hope.

15.10 to 15.15 - the behinds were the difference

Also 5 rushed behinds to Brisbane.

 

[The Karma Bus]

GWS were leading for 250 of 267 minutes across their 2 finals.

Lost that final by 1 point to Pies last year too.
Ouch.

 

[Danger in Texas]

I… I, umm

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Do we know the times of the games next week?

Swans-Port Friday night
Cats-Lions Saturday twilight

Would be the most likely.

 

[PCORF]

Do we know the times of the games next week?

I assume Sydney play Friday Night and Geelong Saturday 4:45PM.

But giving the history, MCG Friday Night and SCG Saturday 5:15PM.

That is sure going to hurt!

I know how that felt in the past been a AFC fan. Buddy, Right in front of me, Free kick Hawthorn. It is not easy to recover from losses like this. We pretty much dominated possession in all 3 of those games.

 

[WetCrow1991]

That insufficient intent free was absolutely wrong. They really need to review calls like that automatically to correct the incompent or malicious calls from the field umpires.

 

[Rotayjay]

So how does the Adelaide Bigfooty board feel about super coach Adam Kingsley now?

I'd prefer someone else, but I would still take Kingsley tomorrow to replace Nicks. Nicks is probably 18th out of 18 in pure merit across the league.

 

[Aaron929]

So i'm hearing every port supporter go on about how they smashed sydney last time.

!. every single team had a game like that this year
2. Do they realise how many players sydney had out (Rampe, Melican, Papley, Amartey, Cambell)

Honestly probably more, that had to pay ladhams and francis. An entirely different team to what they played in Adelaide

 

[SugarShane]

Sydney, Port, Geelong, Brisbane. **** me dead, what a shit sandwich to have left.

Only redeeming factor is that 3 are non Vics, but still, ugh.
