Preview Geelong v Richmond 2020 Grand Final Sat Oct 24 @ Gabba

[Gavin Excell]

Just watching the 07 GF on Fox rn.

In the 3rd, not long after Chappy's mark, Hunt runs through a bloke and the ball spills out and Rookie comes flying in and lands an amazing and hard tackle.

Hope we see some of this on Saturday.

In the 3rd qtr chappy takes mark kicks goal from about 30. Im a few rows back and the ball comes straight at me. I get out of my seat, position myself well but spill the ball ingoriously. Former fitzroy and hawks player Jon Barker is sitting in row in front of me and bags me for the poor effort

is the worst player on the ground, I'll eat my hat.

Interestingly the Cats have the majority of players ranked 10-25 after 4 of the top 9.

Best to worst: Every Richmond and Geelong player ranked ahead of the 2020 Grand Final

AFL Player Ratings point to a trio of Tigers as the best players set to take the field on Saturday, but the Cats have a more even Grand Final side

Ch 7 just showed Mark Knight’s premiers posters. I want one

 

[Xtreme]

With that kind of bravado said, I’m so nervous! I’m horrified that if we lose, we will hand them a back to back Premiership win

One of many reasons why I do not want a Richmond victory, the Trent Cotchin

Tigers must not be a back to back flag winning side.

Unfortunately the Tiger looked the better design

Pity we'll never see it printed

What do you mean? I never stopped!!!

That’s hilarious!

Now, how do I say this kindly?

You get some grief here, I’m guilty. Still you stand by your word, which is honourable.

Since we’ve been successful in Finals + are into the GF, you are a different person + I love it!

Really enjoying your posts + your humour has me sprinting to the loo + not for my usual dash there for a Geelong goal

May I ask, does your “I’ve never stopped!!!” match my COVID-19 Day Drinking?


Cheers Grimoz

How many weeks did you cry after that!!! 2 bloody points!!!

Na I wrote it wrong. It meant to read the last game of the home and away season.

It's not saying he's the worse - at it says at the top of the article it's based on AFL Player Ratings and shouldn't really be that surprising that a Simpson is the lowest ranked for no reason other than being the least experienced player (should teams to in unchanged)

This is a few years old, but it explains about how the AFL player ratings systems works

What is the Official AFL Player Ratings system?
Determining the best player in the AFL has always been tricky. Whether it be umpires, coaches, media or fans, judgements about top players have always had a large element of opinion.

Now, using the most sophisticated algorithm ever applied to our game, we can assess every single action of every player, determine the impact of that action and provide points – either positive or negative – toward that player's rating compared to his peers.

And unlike every other system, Official AFL Player Ratings are based on a player's past 40 games, a scheme that provides a long-term view of a player's standing within the AFL.

If we have the Son of God playing, surely God is a Geelong supporter?

The one to the right of the Tigers one is pretty good too...

Don't think we'll lose against Port this weekend. The flag is ours!

I prefer the Geelong image. . .
No bias
Seriously, the Geelong Cat looks more determined, while the Tiger looks like he’s just done a cake walk.

Just put on a playlist I've got on Spotify which has over 1100 songs in it on shuffle, and this was the first song that popped up....



It's gotta be a sign!

Yah I get that it uses player ratings, but I think it's just rude to go with a best to "best to worst" article two days out. It could have been done differently!

Maybe those Hawf fans who bought the 1991 Batmobile are driving it to the GABBA as we speak?

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Is the MCG turf that little square over the boundary line?

 

[winty]

Haha, what a joke.

 

[frggr]

Not sure where that Hawks post went, but thanks bro!

Correct.

He deleted it. I was wondering whether he meant that for Richmond instead and realised he was on the wrong board or something.
