Great game

Great weekend

I felt dirty cheering for the Swans just then, but if we win the last 3 games we are guaranteed a top 4 spot (Melbourne and GWS can't both win 4 matches as they play each other)
WC have a difficult run, could get to 2nd if we win our last 3!

It is a pitty we did not pick up Zack Merrett with pick 26 2013, we picked up Hartung with pick 24, I think had 40+ possessions.
Must be tough looking for negatives all the time.
 
Enjoying the analysis and positive reflection on the game today however I need to know one thing.
How did Issy go singing the song?

Atrocious still singing like a bogan, not leader material. Delist him, evict him from his house and light it on fire.
 
"With the game in Hawthorn's keeping late in the final term, Liam Shiels laid a big tackle on David Zaharkis to win a holding the ball free kick at half-forward. Sensing a chance to pump the ball inside 50, youngster James Worpel attempted to take advantage before he was dispossessed."

This is from the "Five things we learned" AFL article. Maybe I'm biased but I don't recall Worpel attempting to take advantage and getting dispossessed; I remember him slowing down and putting his hand up to say 'No advantage' and getting shat on in a way I've never seen before. Terrible article.

It's possible.

Need both Melbourne and GWS to lose a game
And Eagles to lose two (Freo, Port, Melbourne, Brisbane)

An historical quirk is that when the Eagles are good they've had trouble with lowly Queensland sides (and Fitzroy in Melbourne too)

1991 Eagles made Grand Final and lost to wooden spooner Fitzroy in Melbourne
1992 Eagles won premiership and drew with 2nd bottom Brisbane in Queensland
2011 Eagles made a Prelim and narrowly beat 3rd bottom Brisbane in Queensland (8 points)
2015 Eagles made a grand final and drew with third bottom Gold Coast in Queensland

Interestingly we were a decent side in all those years too
 
Great game, really enjoyed it from start to finish, was open and free scoring and the crowd wa really engaged, great game to be at !!

This win really opens it up for us , win all 3 and top 4 beckons, such an open season who knows how far we can go, as good as Richmond are they are not unbeatable...

Just saw a replay of that advantage to Worpel call.

Unbelievably shit call. Can umpires be made accountable for once?

Short answer, no. If that were to happen, in similar fashion to the players there would be no takers for the job. With all the funds the AFL has they should have professional umpires. I have no idea of their pay structure, but obliviously it's not enough to attract the quality demanded by the footy public.
 
Stratton BOG. Proud of my username since 2010 lol. Doesn't get beaten one on one. Mitchell may get 1 or 2 if he's lucky
Been good in close games this year
Beat Geelong and we are a genuine chance for top 4

Like to give you two likes here - one for your post, and one for you avatar. Unfortunately, it's not possible.:)
 
He must be a good luck charm & very little else because his contributions in most of those games was negligible. I don't really see what he adds that Ceglar wouldn't in the same position, a bit more endurance maybe but he is even slower than Ceglar if anything and far less likely to mark the football.

Only reason I'd keep him when McEvoy comes back is if Clarko wants to move Gunston to the backline.
You may not know a lot about football. There are subtle hints.

Thanks for your opinion. If Schoenmakers is so vital to our forwardline why has he been playing in the twos almost all year?

Hasn’t he been injured for a good part of the year - Achilles

Is no coincidence our forward line has generally looked more function with Schoey up forward.
Allows Rough to play higher up the ground

Much rather Schoey than TOB
