Non Lions Discussion 2024

[Elixuh]

Snoremuirs gameplan shouldn’t be rewarded so happy with that.

Freo are paying Jackson $1m a year and he is rucking against Crippa with 1min left in their d50 and Jackson taps the ball outside. How dumb can you get.

 

[Bucking Beads]

You can almost feel an all VFL GF is the narrative and it’s only round 4

 

[Nathan Barley]

Pretty massive deflection off Aishs crown

 

[MSB ROYS]

That’s an AFL House special. Dockers completely stitched up by bias Victorian umpiring.

Don't forget the free for dissent against GWS to gift the Blues another game last year.

I hate it when they make a mistake and then double down on it with another free.

 

[M Malice]

Uninspiring game from both sides, if we can get back to our best form I wouldn't be too worried about playing either side... the teams to beat are the Demons and Giants IMO.

Unfortunately. Even Vossy was having a chuckle.

Pretty much; it really is disgraceful the constant bias that many of the Victorian clubs experience particularly against interstate teams and it even applies when the Victorian teams are playing interstate too. What do you expect with some of these egotistical umpires.

I mean late in the game, Cripps takes on three players with prior, drops it and there is nothing to see by the umps. And you can’t tell me that wasn’t touched, the trajectory of the ball instantly changed and four umpires see nothing.

 

[McIvor]

Worse yet is the commentators say nothing. That almost pisses me off more that they condone these umpire flogs and basically say oh well and the likes of Gerard Whately always say that umpiring never influences results. What AFL brown noses they all are.

Yes! Those same VFL teams that get all of the advantages in this game complain about an extra game for Adelaide clubs.

 

[luthor]

Fully expecting the Giants to get stitched up again when a game is on the line against a big Vic club.

The game gifted to Carton last season for "dissent"was a sick joke.

Wasn't even I'm Melbourne so venue matters not when the VFL umps are on the job

Worst bit of play I've seen all season.

He sort of looks a bit vacant.

I couldn’t believe it. He had no opposition in the ruck and tapped it to the worst possible spot.

 

[briztoon]

He did 215k in Melbourne over 2 nights.

Geez I'll spew if the Blues get another non deserved victory here.

I know. I did a google search on his attendances. Pretty much set attendance records where he went last year. 90k at one US venue. US, UK, AUS all big numbers.

 

[martinson]

I thought to myself well you deserve to lose it then. He didn't remotely look where he whacked it either.

As if one of his team mates was going to miraculously appear in space.

I'm all for that sort of ruckwork EXCEPT FOR WHEN YOU'RE DEFENDING A NARROW LEAD DEEP INSIDE THE OPPOSITION 50 WITH TWO MINUTES TO GO.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Was looking forward to the cats v dogs game but it's a snore fest.

They saw the Syd v GWS hype and overreacted.

 

[Lion_LegacyXL]

The quality of the games so far this weekend have been pretty poor

 

[briztoon]

So when are Geelong going to fall off a cliff?

It's happened. They've had an easy draw

I disagree. I don’t think they’ll win the flag but they’ll definitely be a finalist. They have a great forward mix of tails with Hawkins, Cameron and Henry, there midfield is still strong and there defenders are also very good and arguably better than ours.

Obviously we have Melbourne beforehand, but Geelong is a bloody scary proposition in a fortnight’s time followed by Giants away. I don’t disagree that they haven’t had the hardest draw but gee thinking about our next three is bloody daunting. If we won all three I’d genuinely think we’re back and a shot at the flag but it’s probably more realistic that we only win one or those three.

Their ability to regenerate their list via quality late draft picks, rookies and then trades is second to none in the last 15 years.

 

[Lace Out]

Cats will get found out on the back 9

Don’t they have 4 or 5 really old guys who will retire next 1-3yrs
