Discussion AFL Finals General Chat

[Nelso]

Hawks will win easy next week against Port.

Will be far too quick all over the ground.

Nice to finally not be raging at the pea hearted stick insect

I am loving life.

Got on Geelong at $3.30 before the first bounce

It was like clockwork what was going to happen.

At least it will be Hinkley's last game as coach next week.

The nelso I know would have taken Geelong 60+ at $14

 

[Jiska]

Thank god. Though surprised they've given Green the nod straight away.

Read the room. They're trying to starve off the Steve Smith challenge. Green is very popular with members that have NFI what the role of a President or the Board is and think that a good footballer makes a good President. Some clueless bloke was saying Green was only keeping the seat warm until Gawn retires.

Hooley Dooley, how 'bout them Hawkers?
Doggies - feels like they underperform their talent level, they have as much as anyone in the comp.

It’s been the most even season we have had but the first two finals have been a snooze fest for the impartial.

 

[Petrify]

Games like this is why I don't want to start with Gulden. Wingers go so missing in heavy contested games

 

[Broar]

Heeney massively underscored here. 30 & 3 in a final is huge.

 

[Deadly6]

Great game.

The Blues straight kicking is keeping them in it....

3 of the 4 games have been fizzers this weekend

The most ridiculous Sub I have seen with TDK either he is fit enough to play or he isn't.

I mean he came on and had an impact, exactly what you want from your sub. If he came on and did nothing I could see your point.

Bloos damn effed up with their team selection and Sub... ya hate to see it!!!

I meant he is one of their best players he should have started the game if he was 100% fit.

TDK might have the r2 spot next year.

Xerri + TDK. Can't get worse than my shithouse of my 2025 team.

The most ridiculous Sub I have seen with TDK either he is fit enough to play or he isn't.

many many moons ago the Saints did it with Trent Knobel against Port Adelaide (2004 preliminary final).
Koschitzke started and Knobel came on half way through the third quarter.
In and of itself the tactic was quite successful with Knobel runiing over the top of Brogan and Lade in the ruck (Knobel was useless around the ground)

Where I think Carlton went wrong is TDK should have started and Pittonet should have been the sub.

Hopefully a good match tonight. Surely Port are better this week?

Shirley?

Sicily

Scrimshaw

 

[Seymour Skinner]

Sic loomed as a freebie next year but surely with Battle and Barrass he's even more likely to get swung fwd like he has been tonight.

Long live Hinkley!
