Game Day AFL Finals 2024 - Match discussion party thread

[Mutineer]

Why? We also beat them.

I can never understand a supporter going on to another teams board in the aftermath of their team winning the Premiership only an hour oe so after...if at all. Strange way to celebrate.

 

[spenze]

Sydney board are a bit touchy at the moment for anyone thinking of going over with a "bit of a joke"

All I said was

Why is John Longmire known as "Horse"?

Because he's always long in the face come 5pm Grand Final day

 

[ams4crows]

Finish bottom 4 or 2 grand finals in 3 years but you get absolutely spanked and embarrassed in both?

The result is so bad that there has to be something concrete behind it. I only saw the last quarter, and I'm sorry I did, but Brisbane's coach must have had them far better prepared than their Sydney counterpart. There's not that much between the lists.

How have you not got anything better to do?

It looked like they didn't have any effort left to give when Brisbane destroyed them in the second quarter. Dropped their heads and went through the motions as if it was happening to them yet again

There was a 30 minute of so space between the 2nd and 3rd where Sydneys midfield seized, just siezed

What Sydney do have going for them is a young list and they seem to be able to attract good players from Victoria.

Today would have a huge impact but I think they are as good a chance as any to be around the mark again and probably for the next five years.

A few rumours floating about and not sure one is related to the other but here we go

The rumour was Horse was retiring or leaving. If he told them as a kind of '' do this for me '' it could have backfired

Because I did not expect that but maybe Brisbane studied the Port game and took notes

Brisbane have forwards, Sydney other than Papley don’t. Sydney rely upon their midfielders to kick goals.

It will be interesting to see how Sydney react next year. It takes a lot of mental application to get to the GF twice in three years. Chad Warner’s reaction was interesting.

Maybe he’ll come back as a forward for them, god knows they need one.

Which is a shitload easier on a smaller ground

 

[relapse]

I have to eat some humble pie, I never thought Fagan was going to take Brisbane to a flag.

And the 50m line only being 45m.

The big forwards have little influence on the SCG.

You are a good man.

When you look at Sydney's spine you wonder how they were there in the first place. I would argue we have a better spine.

Our spine and foward line aren’t the issue tho.

 

[steve9798]

Our spine and foward line aren’t the issue tho.

That's right. It's always the midfield with us but once you get past the midfield we have better tall forwards and tall defenders. Sydney's are really poor.

Start drinking this morning?

The SCG isn't that small these days - MCG is 160x141 while SCG is 155x136 post-refurb

 

[FR0GGY]

Why does the arc and the centre square nearly touch then?

 

[WetCrow1991]

Maybe our squad should have gone to Vegas end of 2017 instead of a pseudo science camp.

A wild Tom Doedee in the back

Should be a pretty smooth takeover from him to Lester over next year
