“ Grave Risk in playing luckless Swan as heartbreak looms “

Main story Heraldsun online.

Vic Media will do anything to give a Vic side a leg up.

How the **** would they know ?????

Holmes has a dodgy hamstring and all we have heard about is the miracle of how he will play. Shit journalism as usual from that rag.

Happy for him to win as long as we have the flag and i reckon Cal or Luke would say the same

How the Cats could go after Papley like they did Neal

I think Papley would thrive on that sort of attention, not shirk away like Neale.

 

[Ticky009]

Regarding our intercept marking, or lack thereof, I think it was you and I who were discussing how this seemed to be quite deliberate to try and bring the ball to ground so our crumbers can get and go.

Yep, noticed it again on the weekend. We seem happier bringing it to ground.

 

[SM]

Fox Footy podcast decent listen, they discuss the Papley incident then a guy on there who supports the Pies mentions that they got away with JDG diving on the ball - first time I've seen that mentioned so kudos to come from a Pies supporter.

‘Underdog’ tag has Sydney’s Fox ready to hunt Cats


You almost can’t help but raise an eyebrow when a player tells you “we’ve got nothing to lose” in an AFL grand final. But when that player is Robbie Fox

, you’re almost inclined to believe him.

It was not so long ago the 29-year-old thought about heading home to Tasmania, already acquainted with a back-up plan after a stint as a substitute teacher at a Paddington primary school, while stuck in Sydney’s reserves team without a contract for next year.

Razor Ray on SEN now saying he's watched the Papley mark 15 times and said no free , Moore stumbles and Paps takes the mark , well umpired . Exactly what we have said . He's a good listen and honest when on .

 

[Jewelsbon]

How the Cats could go after Papley like they did Neal

The difference being the Lions had no one else to step up, we have plenty that would be willing and very able too.

Now talking about the Ginnivan 50 and it was his fault

Obviously! But why not take it all out??

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Yep, we wouldn't have Rowbottom without that move - which was a moment of bloody genius.

One of many moments of genius from our club. I'm impressed with how well the club think outside the box. It's the reason why we were able to snag tippett and buddy in consecutive years after winning the flag (And subsequently copped an unwarranted trade ban).

Great club, run by great operators.

 

[bedford]

Why worry about it , we've won more Brownlows than anyone else and all of them would swap it for a flag

Did I say I was worried about it?...just thought some (like I) may be interested in the current leader-board as it stands as a bit of side interest.
We all are well aware every other award in AFL pales in comparison to the cup.

“A really great call”: Veteran umpire outlines Papley decision

I think Papley would thrive on that sort of attention, not shirk away like Neale.

They can try tag Paps, but he'll kick 2 regardless, maybe 3 in the GF.

He absolutely thrives on that attention. The cats would have to put on an absolute defensive clinic if they were to stop paps.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

If they double team Papley pass it to the open player. Simple.

I hope if that does happen that papley has the presence of mind to adjust during the course of the match.

Papley's first instinct is to go for goal (with good reason), I just hope he makes the right decisions between going for goal and giving it off to a teammate if he's not in a great position to kick one.

I personally think he's primed for a big match, he's in career best form atm, and has done just about everything right over the last 10 weeks. I couldn't fault his form if I tried, but it's those moments that can make or break a GF. I back him in though, and personally don't think Geelong could stop him even if they invested all of their defensive energy into it. But if they do, I expect horse and the coaching team to adjust our game plan to counteract the extra attention.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

I think we've proven we're no longer a team of champions but a champion team. We've come this far without needing one or two match winning players. We stream across the field as a unit. Good luck tagging or double teaming, because you'll need to do it to the entire team.

Best thing Geelong can do is just try to play their regular game. Our pressure game will be their undoing.

Sorry to be so annoyingly positive in every one of my posts. I'm just really excited and confident about Saturday.

Agree 100%. That's how I see it playing out.

Love it! Eat that Pies fans.
Would've liked his views on the non-paid indiscretions right at the end too - illegal disposal, De-Goey holding the ball, etc
As if Whately would ask that about those ones though... he'd rather push towards making the Swans win seem less deserved.
