Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2024 Part 2

[Fat Nyfe]

Just a great game of afl footy. You love to see it.

 

[freo1997]

The fact it wasn’t a walkover will do wonders for both Sydney in the Preliminary and GWS next week.


They could potentially meet again.

 

[s_wd6]

This matchup never disappoints

 

[Heave Ho Bro]

Wow. Well played Swans. Nice choke GWS. All 17 of their supporters will be devastated with that.

 

[Randomizor]

Good close game todays before the inevitable blowout in the next game

fighting for everything that whole game. Like his life depended on every single play.

Everything you dream about as a coach or fan from one of your players.

Heeney should be winning the Brownlow.

 

[estibador]

Great, another same old same old Geelong/Sydney grand final coming up.

 

[freo1997]

Someone’s messed up Jude’s comb over…

campaigner you’re ok looking just shave it u pussy.

 

[nurries]

Like a good side, the Giants absorbed the pressure and counter punched. Think they will win this

I will shut my mouth

 

[Kram]

Great, another same old same old Geelong/Sydney grand final coming up.

Legit don't think I'd even bother to watch the game and get some extra gardening in instead.

was huge. As good as the swans were in the last, including Heeney going God mode, that was a seriously bad quarter from gws, from the players to the coach

Great, another same old same old Geelong/Sydney grand final coming up.

I reckon the walk over against Port won’t hold them in good stead. Reckon potentially Lions or GWS can beat them. Sydney will definitely make it now.

 

[Randomizor]

Gosh I hope Freo can give me that feeling again that Sydney’s supporters are feeling now

 

[serial_thrilla]

Gosh I hope Freo can give me that feeling again that Sydney’s supporters are feeling now

We got it two years ago in the Elimination Final.

Lots needs to change cause we’ve done what GWS did there all year.

 

[freo1997]

We got it two years ago in the Elimination Final.

Acres, Lobb, Mundy,Shultz and Brodie at Peel. Some key players there missing. All of them were huge that year.

Perfect. If I can't be happy then no one else can.

 

[Outshined]

Lots needs to change cause we’ve done what GWS did there all year.

It'll be interesting to see how they bounce back from a crushing choke like this one.

Freo consistently froze up. If the Giants do that again they'll be out in straight sets against Brissy (not even entertaining Carlton winning).

 

[Heave Ho Bro]

I hope Brisbane win by billions

 

[malpaso]

Halloran fcked that up for GWS, had a mark like 55m out and went to the pocket up by 6pts. Needed to belt that to the square and get a point out it.
Then he fails to take the mark coming out of defense with two hands on it in a 2v1.
Fail...

The last 10-15 min of a close match are completely different to normal footy. You need big personalities, clutch players that grow into the big moments. Too many of our players do the opposite.
It’s nothing to do with footballing ability and everything to do with mentality.

The way Tom Papley and Issac Heeney finished out that game should be the template for every single player we have on our list.
Not from a talent point of view. But The way they chased lost causes, flung themselves into every contest, tackled, chased, harassed the opposition.
Every single player can do that regardless of talent levels.

 

[freo1997]

Carlton rushing back all their older injured players reminds me of us wheeling out Des on one leg in 2010.

I had high hopes for Finn but I think he's hit his ceiling. Happy to say that I got that call wrong.
