Game Day R24 Deathride - Hawks, Dogs and Blues edition

[freo_leo29]

Horseshit. A home final against Port or Geelong is infinitely more preferable than a 50/50 against the Swans

Not much to play for then

They can win and finish 3rd, risk playing away

Whereas losing means staying in Sydney


I'm not saying they're going out there to lose but they've made changes to the team that are clearly affecting them and it seems to have flown through the group

Yep, and it’ll be the same in the Carlton v St Kilda game. Carlton have everything to play for. St Kilda have nothing to play for.

Ya we all want us to get a win here but everything is stacked against us. Still think GWS are the best chance if somehow the dogs run out of puff as this has been absolutely manic by then so far. GWS have enough class to potentially pull something off on talent alone at 80% of their max capacity.

Patrick Cripps is playing in arguably the biggest game of his career today.
Jack Steele has one eye on mad Monday. Who do you think will be going harder at the stoppages in Q4?

 

[David Bubb]

I couldn't be more convinced they are tanking. Fumbling everything on the ground, double grabbing every mark attempt in D50

Helmet head playing way worse than last week ffs

 

[freo_leo29]

Where the **** were these 1m handballs at teammates feet last week????

The logic is cowardly at best. Win then they give us incentive to beat Port/stay competivie enough to keep on top of their perecentage. A win puts them in best position for it.

I think any self respecting club, team and player wouldn't even entertain the thought process you describe. If it is, then they deserve to be dunked in straight sets

Haynes is useless

 

[Kapow!!!]

This is the worst I've seen GWS play all year

 

[s_wd6]

There's no way Giants aren't tanking. Some of the laziest disposal I've seen in a while.

 

[freo_leo29]

need a 10 goal qrtr from gws and the wind to drop in the last lol

 

[hoss]

All this wasted energy! Three weeks of worrying about the results of other games when we just had to do the job ourselves. Just once. One game in the whole season. One.

1 point in one game in fact. At worst two points.

Why would GWS have nothing to play for? They can finish Top 2 potentially with this victory, they're not banking on us beating Port.

Because they finish 4th they guarantee their first two finals in Sydney. Win and they could finish 3rd and have to travel to Adelaide.

It'd be great if Cogs could lift. Blokes done nothing all day and he's much better than this

And if we pump Port they’ll be travelling first week of the finals.

 

[David Bubb]

If anyone thinks they aren't tanking after watching that Greene shot at goal then I don't know what to tell you

 

[Footskill]

That bombers game killed us

1. Comfortable lead with 15 mins to play
2. Played a shite team
3. Had the chance even to draw it

Mids to blame ..couldn't get a clearance to save their life.. couldn't lock it in to get a draw

If they are I hope they end up getting beaten by the bulldogs in the finals.

This is showing we just are not good enough. Dogs on a different level to us.
The likes of Banfield would never get a game at the dogs and that’s ultimately the difference and where we need to improve.

 

[Randomizor]

Welp, we’re boned

And there's guys on the dogs that wouldn't get a game for us. This is the stupidest argument and yet people still keep insisting on bringing it up

 

[CapitalA]

So we are relying on St Kilda to win now. Season is over.
