well if your neutral friends say so....


Buddy would have kicked 5 or so tonight though, he didn't get the easy one like Armatey and co picking up basically a raffle against no one.

If he misses next week and they all fire , different story, but they haven't yet


But maybe they do keep the same, then leave Hayward out too

My concern is Armatey won't run out the game v the cats

We kick a much lower score if Buddy plays tonight. We were dangerous because the players were looking for the best options. They don’t do that when Buddy plays.

I don't want to be poo pooing tonight.

But we literally had forwards stopping dead to think about their next move at times , Buddy would have gotten all the time he no longer gets

He's kicked over 1050 of the things. We didn't need him getting time and space. We needed McLean, McDonald & Amartey getting time and space, so they can learn to play with each other. Whether they did or not, we won't know until they start playing opponents who aren't witches hats. But at least we got a look at the ideal blueprint for how they'd work: McDonald up the ground, McLean closer to home, Amartey linking the two.

No doubt Buddy would have kicked a bag. The doubt is whether the rest would have had as many opportunities. We’ll never know so everyone is entitled to their opinion. My guess is that we would have kicked closer to 140-150 and they would have scored a couple more goals.

God I'm glad I wasn't the only one that thought this, I was getting soooo angry at the arrogance.

You’re definitely not the only one. Super disrespectful. Imagine if we saw that shit in the grand final last year or in Kardinia this year. Every team has their lowest lows. Eagles having theirs now. No need to rub it in with the crowd carry on.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

We play bombers, crows and dogs in the run home. Win 2/3 of those and we're on our way. Provided we get the job done in most of our other games of course.

6-3 end to the season and we're a chance, 7-2 and we're definitely playing finals, but we'd need to beat Geelong next week if we're any chance of finishing 7-2, lose against Geelong and we're probably likely to finish off the season 6-3 at best.

In saying that, I'd be more than happy to be wrong and have the swans finish the season 9-1.

Horse appeared to sidestep a question about buddy in the presser. Suspect he may only get rolled out if required or for a farewell

 

[Wolftone]

Yeah? Interesting.

Your mum just said swans finish 6th.

He is asking a 1970's children's TV Puppet?

Not sure if it was arrogance to be fair. We were watching a training drill and other than for the records tumbling it was a fairly uninspiring game.

It was more sheer happiness, not sure how anyone at the game could mistake it for anything else.

 

[Wolftone]

To have a half that dominant, but to then follow it with one that's even more dominant is quite the rarity.

We have not been finishing games off. But today we did

Great summary, pretty much covered everything I was going to post.

Just add one thing on the oppo.
Never rated Petrevski-Seton particularly highly as a player, but on one leg he did more chasing in our defensive fifty than any other West Coast player.
Team was being humiliated but he kept trying although clearly hampered. Others just jogged without any real intent or effort.
Player like that always gets my respect.

After quarter time (even before) a lot of the Eagles showed zero defensive intent. We moved around in the front half almost without impediment. Once our defenders started to exit their forwards were almost literally witches hats. I was surprised that Petrucelle rated any AF points.
At his draft I thought we should be interested in Bazzo. Nuh uh.
Utterly destroyed.
Nice point about SPS though.

I must be getting soft but I keep seeing all these Eagles fans on Twitter posting about how they're watching their beloved Eagles at home and they're all dressed up in their Eagles gear in their living rooms and then the cheer squad posting about how they made the banner and stuff. I just feel bad for them

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

There is just no way a modern team with the defensive structures we have in place can be this bad.

Something is clearly behind the scenes at that club it just hasnt leaked out yet.

No-one likes to see a dog getting kicked.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

To put it in perspective Adelaide kicked 27.12 174 if we adjust for the same number of behinds the score today would be 38.12 240

I just think we can slighty temper Armatey holding Bud out.

Buddy missed the two witches hat games. (Hawks, Today)

Armatey kicked 8 in the two, was in and out of both games, did it in patches, rest of the year he has 3 goals from 5 games.

Next week if Buddy is fit think ill still back Buddy, but thats just me, I get arguements for the time together, but we can still make the 8

 

[Ticky009]

A little over 31k at the game today. Well done crew Not bad for a 15th vs 18th outing.

As lon as Horse feels we have a chance for finals, Buddy will be out "with an injury"

 

[Tedeski]

Buddy has a great burst in the first 15 minutes of games. Unfortunately his output deteriorates from there

My only negative from an amazing Watch is Francis dropping every mark he attempts.

Similar to my old whipping boy Sinclair with those flat hands that bounces the ball forward.

It’s an issue under pressure footy.

Would love to see that technique fixed and he’d be a great asset.

Thought Fox was composed when he finally came on and added some great link up work. Like to see him return next week even though Cameron is out.

Shout out to Hickey thought he was great early setting the tone.
