Non-Lions Footy Season (2018)

[dlanod]

I didn't think we were allowed to discuss other sports on here, thought it was supposed to be kept to The Den, not that I'm a stickler for the rules and out of control domination from our Mod Overlords.

That's preferred but unless it goes completely overboard (or it's in a special thread, like the LI one) we tend to let things slide.

Another thrilling first quarter

 

[jackess]

No way port should be this close. Melbourne has had double the inside 50s.

 

[jackess]

Melbourne are leading inside 50s 39-17 but only lead by 2 points.

 

[jackess]

Motlop is a horrible footballer

 

[jackess]

Ridiculous free to Gray

 

[CarterS]

Wouldn't mind a bit of free flowing footy.

 

[jackess]

I don't think Melbourne will win a final

 

[jackess]

Inside 50s: 58-32 and they're losing

 

[M Malice]

Rocky must be loving playing in these big games in front of big crowds and it's starting to look highly likely that he will be playing finals footy. Good luck to him.

 

[PertRoosOsborne]

Melbourne slaughtered by the umpires

Melbourne slaughtered by the umpires

Hardly,
Melbourne going at 34% inside 50 killed them. Should've been 7 goals up at 1/2 time.

Still was nice to watch a team continually bomb the ball in aimlessly all night that wasn't us.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Yeah, saw a lot of ‘us’ in the display Melbourne put on tonight. Commendable effort; too many self-administered bullet wounds to the size 14s. Rooted by the umps, too.

I watched that game with earplugs in and listening and to music on my eye pad.
so watched without any distractions from the crowd noise or the commentary .
Fierce contest sure , but the drop balls not been paid and the turnovers resulting with pretty much every player having to drop the ball onto the boot with a tonne of pressure on him.
It was a poor show , f...g terrible if you took the fact that the game was close and watched the process of the game.
They need to start with 4 things.
1.
Bring the Interchange back to 24 , 6 per quarter.
make the coaches change these defensive presses and forward presses, you know like the old days , 5 years ago .
2.
3 players must be in each half of the field. Maybe 4 ?
How do you do this ?
3 or 4 players/ positions are nominated, can be rotated amongst the group.
3.
Once 1 and 2 are in forced then the player that attacks the ball will have a chance to show his skills without congestion and this rolling maul .
If he is tackled then pay it , the consistency to pay these will be easier for the umps if you don't have 20 players playing within a 20meter radius.

4.
Shorten the game , when the ball has crossed the boundary , keep the clock on .
No need to stop , WHY? Isn't there a rule already to pay a deliberate out of bounds.
Not that hard is it. ffs.
You would probably cut the game overall time of a game closer to the 20 minute quarters, most likely just adding injury time on and time off from a goal to the next center bounce making it plus 5 minutes per quarter max. and not the
30 plus minute blowout quarters, too long for the players and the fans.
People are not going to games for many reasons , imo these are some of them.
Rant over , at work better get stuck in.

 

[Carlos Danger]

Go suns with a goal in the last . Well done... pity about quarter 2 & 3

The Collective Minds brand would have to be damaged as a result of this Crows debacle.

The Collective Minds brand would have to be damaged as a result of this Crows debacle.

Permanently. Such a highly public "disaster" could be enough to ruin the company completely.

Wouldn't be surprised if appropriating from indigenous cultures is rife throughout executive teambuilding training. And generally unremarked upon due to underrepresentation and anyone feeling bothered by it would likely find themselves severely short of allies.

Collective Minds™ sounds like the positive spin name for a cult.

What happened? Listening to music with game on mute and looked up and saw torn guernseys and a lot of venom.

Just usual niggling, nothing really

It's a bit funny watching Schache trying to impose himself physically

 

[jackess]

Great kick from Schache to setup the goal to put them in front

Great kick from Schache to setup the goal to put them in front

Schache is looking more like 2016 schache every game.

He'll turn things around I think. Good on him.
