Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2023

[Purpletown]

Irish eyes are shining to be sure.. Zac Toohey with 2 goals on St Patrick's day

 

[gaskin]

This is great end to end footy.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Comparing this game to last nights...

The disposal of these two teams is nutty

 

[gaskin]

These Collingwood supporters are given the blue and yellow toss pots a run for their money in this first quarter. The amount of booing is ridiculous.

 

[mattis117]

Hoskin-Elliot is flipping garbage. I'm sure tonygeeks agrees.

 

[gaskin]

Lol Cox. Takes a great pack mark, kicks the goal, then goes and gives it to Esava.

 

[arsesmart]

Collingwood are despicable in their acting. It's like watching the EPL.

 

[Ge3ks]

An enjoyable 1st quarter. Plenty going on, even a little biff.

 

[gaskin]

Bobby Hill is having a stinker. He looks almost out of his depth.

Yep. Legitimately looks like a top 4 clash. Take the crowd out of last night and it looked like a random 12th v 11th game

 

[mattis117]

Almost at the scores from last night already

 

[mattis117]

And might I add, another goal to Geelong from a Hoskin-Elliot mistake, worst player on the ground, including Hill.

 

[Ge3ks]

That Hawkins kick for goal.

 

[gaskin]

I guess the deliberate rule is still a raffle. It looked like they had eased up on it a bit after last night but that one against Maynard was such bullshit.

I'm on the fence, it was both definitely deliberate and definitely under pressure.

Both players go for the ball but it comes off Maynard. Then he gets enough contact from the Geelong player to have the benefit of the doubt about whether or not he could have got to it.

I wouldn't say comes off Maynard... He fisted it straight at the boundary.

 

[gaskin]

I don't care what team the player plays for, one of the best things to see is a player go back and spoil front on without giving away a free. It was brilliant from Daicos.

Both players had their hand up to knock the ball. If it came off the Geelong player and went out there is no way it would have been deliberate.

 

[gaskin]

Brilliant.

OMG that was sooooooo good seeing Henry get run down in the square, absolutely amazing

He is going to get slammed in the review for not giving the hands off I reckon.

 

[masai tu]

Going to get canned. But a midfield revolving around Cripps will be their downfall IMO.

Cripps has started his umpiring apprenticeship, ........ “my free, my free, my free”, whilst doing his flappy seagull impression.

 

[Purple Jesus]

Quality game so far. Shits on last night.

 

[gaskin]

That half of football was phenomenal. I doubt the 2nd half will live up to it but I hope it can get close.
