The most Meh last 4 teams in living memory. Can't be stuffed who wins it. But would like Cats out next week.

 

[Coach_Required]

Geelong aren’t winning because of their midfield though. It’s their ends that are keeping them in it. Port pretty much broke even against Geelong’s midfield but still lost by 84 points.

My concern with Brisbane is their accuracy and efficiency. They’re in for a long day if they do that 4.12 crap again. They need to dominate the midfield AND kick straight.

You're jumping at shadows, Geelong won't have it go their own way, the competition is very even. Brisbane are an unknown, they have the ability on the list to knock Geelong over, GWS straight sets so I'm glad they lost.

 

[Drunken Wookie]

There’s a bloke who cares about the giants?

his name is edmund and hes paid a tuppence per post over there

 

[Versailles]

It’s because Geelong aren’t winning on talent alone. These interstate sides surrounding them are mentally weak against Victorian sides.

That’s all there is to this. I don’t care who wins though

This Brisbane side has some grit but agree they’re all flakey. Just don’t trust a midfield of an over the hill Dangerfield, Holmes, Atkins, Bruhn and Bowes.

 

[shaky]

I don’t hate Geelong unlike many on here, so I’m fine with them winning. But I just don’t see it any other way.

Mods please perma ban

Is this a corpse joke in reply to the choke to death joke?

 

[AstuteTiger]

In relation to the advantage call, are we sure he knew they’d been awarded a free?

Well if he didnt then its another 50 to the Lions. Everyone stopped as the whistle went. GWS players knew it was their free and the look on their faces when Daniels took the advantage and missed.

Considering he gave away a 50 which resulted in a goal only 5 mins prior he had to stop once the whistle went even if he wasn't sure it was their free.

[Versailles]

I hate Geelong but they are a good side when they play their style.

However, they get a leg up over every other Vic side with a soft draw and a genuine home ground advantage in 9 games each year.

They are trash at the MCG. But get gifted 7-8 wins a year because of Kitty Litter Park.

Look at their results. They’re a very ordinary football team.

 

[Drunken Wookie]

jeez im glad were not in the finals with this, this filth

 

[STRUGGLETOWN EST1885]

Unfortunately there's no Richmond 2017-2020 left to obliterate Geelong again. That's what s... me. Swans, Port, Lions all flakey on their day.

 

[tunksy]

Port Brisbane 2004 repeat

 

[Tiges1229]

Geesook v port gf , Geesook win by 80+

gf will be won by umpires again this year you can just smell it

 

[Greggy]

How long will I need to read the Giant melts?

Biggest issue I have with GC and GWS is how deflating the Bigfooty experience is. Zero banter during the 2019 GF week.

 

[chriso11]

Nah, I didn’t. But you’re correct to point him out. Was thinking while typing that, that I hope Jesse’s season inspires Tommy to reach his best again.

Makes such a difference.

5 goals in the 2019 prelim

 

[The_Kraken]

gf will be won by umpires again this year you can just smell it

Nah dude. That smell means you forgot to wash your balls again.

 

[STRUGGLETOWN EST1885]

Port Brisbane 2004 repeat

That would be about the only scenario to keep most of our interest to be honest.

 

[RFCGloryJC]

GWS collapsed faster than Matthew Perry.
Don't pay the Perryman.

 

[Drunken Wookie]

Nah dude. That smell means you forgot to wash your balls again.

oh i didnt forget.

 

[shaky]

Nah dude. That smell means you forgot to wash your balls again.

He's got balls????

 

[JackNah_8]

Listening to Kingsley's press conference he always seem just dour & too serious and hard on his players. that will tire out a group.

I feel like you need a good balance between compassion & edgey. I feel like Yze is too soft well he has been.
Kingsley is the complete opposite, I honestly reckon guys like Chris Scott, Craig McRae & Dimma before he lost his mind is the perfect balance in modern coaching.

Agreed. I think today's coaches need a good balance to connect with the players.

Dimma seems frustrated these days.

Considering he gave away a 50 which resulted in a goal only 5 mins prior he had to stop once the whistle went even if he wasn't sure it was their free.

That’s fair but I think the rules around these things are hard to follow because I remember in the game against Fremantle last year the ball spilled free from a contest (where Dusty was awarded a free) and Bolton kicked a goal but the umpires (seemingly unhappy with that result) recalled it and made Dusty kick from the boundary line (and ultimately miss)

 

[tigersnag]

Just back from the Giants game. That was one of the worst chokes I have ever seen.
The Giants are mentally weak.

I'm not sure that Kingsley has it. If his tactics were to protect the lead then he has no idea.
You could see them losing it from a mile away.

The ground was 2/3 full. More Lions fans there. The Giants are a soulless club.

 

[tigersnag]

Also umpire number 2 Nick Foot - wow, check his bank account. Paid some very dubious frees, and all to Brisbane.
