Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2024

[Purple Jesus]

Big oof.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Does that mean we've beaten a top 8 team now?

Yes, now that Brisbane are in the top 8 we are actually premiership favourites

 

[mattis117]

The Lions got a massive leg up all through the night from the umps.i count four goals gifted to them, one taken off Melbourne and 3 given to the lions.

 

[mike91]

Back-back games without a goal in the last quarter for the dees. Piss weak.

Credit to Viney for actually trying to drag his team over in the last single-handedly

 

[Stinky Lomax]

For all Vineys toughness he just bangs it on his boot time & time again & dribbles these useless kicks to the opposition.

Massive lack of composure by Melbourne that last quarter., Brisbane were just as bad but at least had an attacking mindset to score.

 

[mike91]

Also, that was 50m to Rivers. Soft umpiring

 

[largebus]

No Petracca and Oliver turning into a potato, gonna be a long last two months for the Dees.

 

[apuchar]

What was Rivers waiting for. Used up 30 seconds in their own forward half.

 

[Madas]

To be fair to that demons player who ran it over the line and probably lost them the game, players run it over the line many times a game and its never pinged, I think he just got unlucky because he fell and it looked like he dived.

He could have tried to camouflage it better
Made it look like a rugby try

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Damn a draw would’ve been nice. Melbourne did everything wrong in the last few minutes though.

Yep, if you're paying the deliberate you have to pay that too.

 

[FreoRicci]

After a 0-3 start, 2-5. Brisbane are above Fremantle.
What a crazy season

As long as they push port out I’ll take it

Would have been a four point play on the MCG Wednesday night.
And probably another two gor the try.

Brisbane are coming in regardless of us.

It is Port (fingers crossed) and Geelong that I think will make way for them and the Dogs. Maybe the Suns get in but they basically need to win every home game and those easy road ones. If they lose to the Pies it will put heaps of pressure on them.

I think you can put a line through GC if they lose to the pies. Hoping they get the job done, a loss for the pies would be equally devastating to their season. There are quite a lot of top 8 shaping games this round, Gc/Pies, Cats/Bombers, Lions/Dees.

 

[Spirit Level]

Go Suns!

 

[mattis117]

Cmon GC all Freo supporters backing you right now

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Unreal the difference between Suns at home vs away

 

[Bender571]

Unreal the difference between Suns at home vs away

I reckon that's been a little overrated. For the most part they've played bottom 6 teams at home and top 6 teams away. At home it's Richmond, Adelaide, Hawks (when they were shit), WC, North, Cats (without their gun players), and Essendon (pretenders).

Away they've played dogs, giants (when they were good), Sydney, Brisbane, Carlton, Saints (3 point loss), and us. Almost all tough trips.

Maybe, watching them they look different every time I've seen them though

Almost like their FIXture was designed..

 

[FreoGirl]

I hope GC beat the Freo hoodoo where every team loses the week after they play Freo..

 

[kingswood71]

Go Suns.....
And Adelaide....
And St Kilda.....
And Geelong.....
And the tigers.....

 

[Arcassius]

Commentators on the Suns v Collingwood game - "(GC) are doing well given how hard it is travelling from Perth"

just imagine now, what that's like for the WA teams ...
