Game Day AFL Preliminary Final - Matchday Discussion GWS@Collingwood(MCG – 4:35PM)

[Finnishpie]

Josh Thomas goes before him he has been off the boil the entire season and his opponents peel off him ignoring his ''sacrificial game''.

Nah. Thomas has been way better n the second half of the season. brown looks like racking up another 8 possession zero goal games.

sidey injured?

Is getting tagged by Perryman.

 

[PhiloBeddoe]

So many negative nancies - hell, were leading and 1/2 time and about to click into another gear - sure doesn't look easy out there...GO PIES!

Don’t be silly, we were all stars in the wet conditions, just ask us.

Am I blind with bias? Reading the thread on the main forum - and it seems apparently we've been kissed on the peen by the umpires? I genuinely haven't seen that at all. I don't think we've been hard done by at all. I felt like the umpires was pretty fair. Poor frees missed on both sides.

Am I completely biased or does everyone just hate us that much?

The main board is a cesspit of morons.

Think it's cautious posting giants dominant inside 50s and more scoring shots despite us leading on the score board makes people feel once they clean it up we will be in trouble.

Hope Sidey is ok.

We’re done, IMO. Weather’s killed us because we don’t know how to move it in these conditions. The only two that look dangerous up front are Reid and Stephenson who aren’t going to kick enough between them. By the end of it I’m predicting there’ll be a few blokes that look back on this one and see it as career defining for all the wrong reasons (dropped marks, fumbles and not getting to a certain contest).

'We're done'
You think we can't win from here? Really?

 

[ExcitementMachine]

The whole midfield needs to lift.

 

[Jafo]

Here comes the Premiership quarter. Who’s going to put their hands on the cup?

Care to say who?

We need to play wet weather footy, long and low

Reckon you’ll break them late in the 3rd and end up winning by 20ish.

Varcoe and JDG in for Brown and Reid.

Dry conditions next week and you’re a 50-50 chance for the flag.

less contested possessions and more tackles......need to get the ball first

 

[soreplums]

Pendles ok?

 

[loki04]

Nope same impact but at least Brown gaining experience.

Watch Josh Thomas opponent peel off to make 2v1s all game. Brown keeps his man honest.

 

[jjsmitty8]

If we can’t lift, today will be a bitterly disappointing day.

 

[swoop42]

The wet weather has helped turn the game into a slog which aids GWS but 17 less contested possessions to half time shows we seriously need a lift from our midfield and forward groups around the stoppages.

 

[76woodenspooners]

Can somebody explain why goals will be liquid gold as opposed to solid gold?!?

 

[biggiemediums]

Phil Davis is so tough he can jar his finger, bump his shoulder and he's still tough enough to stand still in a huddle and yell.

 

[Finnishpie]

Mihocek zero possessions- damn.

 

[MightyRoar]

Contested footy,
Ground ball and
Fwds pushing up too far will have been the talking points at half time.

Improve on these and things will change on the scoreboard.

 

[jjsmitty8]

Hope I’m wrong, but I really do just feel like I’m waiting for the dam wall to crack..

 

[johncitizen]

Treloar and sidebottom need to lift

 

[Kappa]

Going short and turning it over in this weather is unforgivable

 

[Finnishpie]

Why tf would you kick short to a contest on a wet day?
