2015 Non Freo discussion

[Admiral Byng]

Terrific game.

Wanted North to win so it knocked Port back a bit in their top-4 aspirations. Could have gone either way but Port just a little too good. Gray was superb in those last quarter clearances.

 

[Borry]

Leppitsch is going to get the long walk off the short plank soon.
Get Beams and Christensen and get worse at football

They wouldn't want to regret not renewing Vossy's contract and then handling the recruitment for a new coach so poorly....

Hawks and crows are good chance at denting ports top 4 aspirations over the coming fortnight.

 

[rodney hoo]

Great game, norths unlucky with a few of them frees to Schulz

 

[PantaloonRazorblade]

That happens when the game is of such high intestacy, the fast movement if frankly scary for Freo going forward.

Brilliant.

 

[Moo]

Bloody Schulz got away with murder

 

[Schauermann]

North and Port both 1 in 3 now.

 

[Righteo]

How is it possible that Brisbane are actually worse than last year?

 

[Moist Biscuit]

Port beat a depleted North Melbourne, hardly impressive imo.

 

[Sir Deadly]

Port always seems to get the good teams when they're down. And those frees to Schulz and Monfries were bogus!

But who died?

The 2 Schulz free kicks were absolutely shocking.

 

[yoong]

But who died?

Norf's top 4 hopes.

 

[Nothing]

Norf's top 4 hopes.

I've always suspected they had no will.

 

[Schauermann]

No idea, thought they looked promising at times last year. But Geelong could still end up below them this round...

 

[AAACockburn]

But who died?

Brad Scott's smile

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Norf's top 4 hopes.

The Monfries one was one of the worst decisions I've seen in a long time. The Schulz decisions you can understand, considering at first look they both (or was it 3 times) looked like holds by Thompson.

 

[yoong]

After that display by Heeney, you really going to tell me the academy is not a gift by the afl to Sydney? Can you imagine if they still have cola?

Yarran's gone for a while you'd think. Flat out punch to Chapman, making him bleed.

I'm eagerly awaiting the result of that, so I can then whinge more about Ballantyne's tough gig.
Because you know an intentional punch will get less weeks than a bump.

I see two best 22 players there, and they recruited some handy mids over the offseason. Not convinced.

 

[Proud SJW]

That 1st qtr of North/Port was one of the best quarters of footy I've seen so far this year.

Unsustainable. A mature football team would have put the brakes on that and then out run them over a four-quarter game. Like we did.

It's exciting to watch, I'll give them that, but I can't see it as a long term ploy.
Come the end of the season they'll be spent.

 

[Kapow!!!]

How is it possible that Brisbane are actually worse than last year?

Easy - take away their best user by foot in hanley. Pretty easy to see why they Hated playing us with crowley taking away his influence...they can't hit an important target (christensen is a woeful cover). When he comes back they'll probably knock off a couple of unsuspecting sides at the gabba.

How is it possible that Brisbane are actually worse than last year?

Not hard to see where Aish isn't gonna be next year.

Not even the thought of a top 3 draft pick would soothe the fans angst now these days either...

 

[Mr Peabody]

More evidence of an implosion at Carlton.



The rabble they are brings back memories of how far we have come.
