Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2024 Part 2

[fnerd]

Yeah Brissies defenders have NFI

Just as an aside if do land baker 100% I’m playing him as our second small defender
Thought we got pretty badly exposed in that area towards the end of the year

Especially as most of the good clubs have more than one gun small

 

[gaskin]

Geelong kicking some absolute rippers this quarter.

 

[james haish]

Geelong creaming them in the middle.

Hate the Cats but I’m glad Neale is once again being shown up as poor in finals.

 

[noise36]

How the hell does Geelong kick these goals from crazy angles on the move wow!

 

[nurries]

****ing hell Geelong are jammy pricks.

Miers…yep

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Hate both these teams. Especially Brisbane. But especially Geelong.

 

[Jeba]

Can the cats ever get done for htb, never have that fear of being pinged

 

[fnerd]

Can the cats ever get done for htb, never have that fear of being pinged

As the only vic team left ,no chance

 

[james haish]

Neale is a finals dud

 

[mattis117]

The drizzle is really helping thr cats, their smalls are too good in this weather.

 

[Randomizor]

Geelong have a simple gameplan and that’s probably why it’s so timeless. Get the ball, usually on a turnover, get it forward, let forwards do what they are paid the big bucks to do. None of this passing it around 40 times to “increase the percentages” and then missing anyways.

 

[fnerd]

Neale is a finals dud

Didn’t he have like one 40 + possession game + goal(s)in a final against Melbourne not that long ago?

Outside of that I agree ,is pretty much a non entity

 

[largebus]

Brisbane are dreadful down back when Andrews has to man up instead of playing his usual intercept role. Pretty much every time the ball went in there it was a free crumb for a Geelong goal.

Even more importantly they apply pressure , all over the ground and ensure they tackle relentlessly and making them stick more often than not.

Something jlo and co unfortunately don’t think is all that important

 

[largebus]

I know there's always a Grand Final discount but I'd be surprised if Rampe gets off. He was important down back for them as well.

Whaddaya know, Rampe is free to play. I was wrong, I'm not surprised.

 

[anchor man]

They’re both essentially VFL teams come on now

Sydney been in Sydney far too long to be considered VFL now. Same as Brissie.

Play a game plan that suits your talent. Cats forward are proving too dangerous. And lbh, their lead has a lot to do with some really arsey goals plus Bailey can't kick.

Also, Morris has been flipping terrible.

 

[mattis117]

Love that from Stengle, fkd it up but no dwelling, straight to next play

 

[Kram]

Game over, sack Fagan.

 

[james haish]

Port really ruined this finals series

 

[FreoRicci]

Zorko playing it too cute for a final

 

[noise36]

Lol umpires zorko throws his head around and gets a dangerous tackle when he was caught clear htb, second it's paid he jumps up demanding the ball like a cat that got the cream.

 

[s_wd6]

Brisbane getting looked after massively

 

[s_wd6]

Sydney been in Sydney far too long to be considered VFL now. Same as Brissie.

With the handouts they get they’re no better

 

[s_wd6]

Geelong really good at missing the unmissable
