Game Day Brisbane vs Geelong, Thu Jun 24 7:32 pm @ Gabba

[cats_09]

Has Ratugolea been on this quarter?

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Since when have we had a rivalry for 11 years with Brisbane?

I tipped Tuohey would do well here, and that goal looked good.
BUT
He was among these players who had under 5 kicks until half time:
Selwood, Close, Menegola, Stewart and Hawkins being done like a dinner

So go for the jugular on Higgins, Sav, Dahl
but remember ALL the culprits

Our midfield has been smashed tonight..

FWIW I think the Lions will play off in this years GF, no one is beating them at the Gabba if they finish top 2.

 

[mcwilrob]

Any suggestions?

Anything - status quo is nfg

 

[BotsMaster]

Has Ratugolea been on this quarter?

Yes. He failed to pick up a dead ball in the middle.

We smashed them year on year until they beat us after the siren a few years back and then with Linc kicking the winning goal a couple of years ago

The fact we had an 15 of our past 17 encounters means it's a rivalry

They won’t finish top 2, and they won’t be winning finals on the road.

Can't understand the people writing off this result as one "we can afford to lose". The top four margins are razor-thin ffs, we need every point we can get.

He is a useless commentator. Knows very little about the players. Not sure why he's on Ch7 with Huddo, Whateley sitting around. At least Bennett has a gig at the moment and seems to be getting more air time

Apparently everyone has a rivarly with us that we arent even aware of.

 

[Drunkcat]

The hole team have been down not 3 or 4

 

[cats_09]

Yes. He failed to pick up a dead ball in the middle.

Cheers

I didn't notice him in the ruck contests and that that area is once again being left to Blicavs

 

[hoopla]

Very one-sided rivalry. I think they’ve only won a couple of games in that time.

 

[Cataholic]

Kolo, Atkins being found out too. Menegola as well.

Menegola has struggled this year, Atkins is a trier, and Kolo.......well, I think he is a very average footballer tbh

Has ratugolea been on the last 4 weeks, absolute free ride

We have one of the easiest runs home in the comp. We only play two top eight teams and one of them is at GHMBA.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

The Gabba DJ has some questionable music taste.

Oops, you did it again mate.

 

[mcwilrob]

Starting with Esava as ruck - not even close

 

[Peter Wallis]

Have always been a fan of Higgins but he just looks like the game has passed him by. Surely Narkle gets picked ahead of him next week.

Western Bulldogs v Melbourne Grand Final

Yep a bad night for senior players for sure.

I recon this is one of those games where we are putting in 90% effort and the oppo (still hurting from last year's final) have come with 120%.

This is what happens.

Just want to see what we can learn from this game, don't care about the result or even the margin all that much. We've won 2 of our 3 "hard" games. Reset next week.

Because its a game against a very good interstate side away. You cant be arrogant enough to expect us to just win all of our games? We will drop some, and play poor at times also.

Good to see a team invest in and play young talent.
