Game Day 2023 Non-Swans Game Day

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Walsh is a gun

wastes a lot of ball

 

[Maddo11]

Gotta be the lions next week. Even if the midfields break even, the lions forward line is just way classier, and the pies now have a McSpray shaped hole up forward as well.

Turns it over less then Gulden and Warner

I think he would be great to have in the middle.

Prefer him to Cripps

 

[wills2g]

Surely its unlikely to beat another contender 3x in a single season

nah… he’s a hack kick like Parker from clearances…

Cripps was rubbish. Maybe injured.

Each to their own, I think he stood up under pressure

Walsh is a gun

He was the Blues midfield after the first 15 minutes.

What an incredible recruit Daniher has been. Averaging 22+ games, 47+ goals and now a Grand Final.

Amazing considering the reservations when he wanted to come to us.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Curnow is flat track bully.
3 goals in 3 finals.
Home and Away season averages 3 goals a game.

He'd be pretty disappointed in his finals performances. Will be a long off season for him.

 

[MR0808]

Curnow really didn't have a good finals series, it's almost like when you don't play North and West Coast twice it's hard to kick goals!

I think Collingwood would have been a good match up for him.

Not excusing his September , he failed , but he also faced Andrews, May, Mccartin types etc

Nah he just s**t the bed during the finals series

He usually gives McCartin a bath

 

[The King!]

At least we didn't get TDK

 

[sataris]

Yuckkkkk this grand final is gonna be garbage now

Do you think the lions are going to lose by 81 points?

 

[Tesla Tenet]

hewett is so slow, exposed in finals

Yeah, Parker speed..... with 20-30% drop in possessions in finals

Still can’t comprehend that Acres touched call.

Doesn’t it have to be conclusive to turn over? If the Lions lost by less than a goal that would have been a travesty.

Acres has had about 5 score reviews all go in his favour.

I agree when Daniher's good he's very good, but given his injury history those reservations were valid. He only managed four games for the year he would've started with the Swans. He'd have been useful as a chock under the wheels to stop Horse's car rolling but not much else. Reid was out injured for most of the same year and still managed almost twice as many goals.

Looking at a same-age comparison with our 2023 stock of tall forwards, Daniher was roughly on a par with McDonald at age 21 but behind both McLean and Amartey at age 24. While the current 29 yr old Daniher, may be playing some his best footy, he's still miles behind Buddy at the same age.

It's easy to look at decisions in retrospect, but I'm confident we made the right decision not to blow a big chunk of salary cap given Daniher's risk of further injuries vs. what he brings as a forward.

I'm happy that we have a great group of talented young tall forwards who only lack in experience of playing together post Buddy. They'll gel better, play better and get stronger with each preseason under their belts. They're in thick with our young group of players on their journey to greatness, and I'm willing to bet at least two of them become better forwards than Daniher by age 29.

If any Melbourne based fan is able to make up a sign with a picture of Daicos ripping Toby Greens head off and have a caption of "this is how Collingwood make a Grand Final" ready for the grandfinal parade that would be absolutly amazing

Never wanted to come to us. Stop re-writing history.

Not re-writing history.

Andrew was a Swans stalwart, played close over 200 games, Josh could have been taken as a Father-Son pick.

Bridges can always be mended.

Didn't we agree to take Daniher but not get the trade done?

I am not heartbroken either , but I would have been happy to get him if we had of .


But yeah who knows what then happens

Dunkley would have already left us if we did draft him

Be thankful we didn't among other things we wouldn't have Logan. Just be thankful Dodoro was up to his usual things

Dunkley stated he didn't want to come to us... unless another non-Vic team picked him up then we could select him as a father-son pick. To that, I say * right off. You don't want toxic s**t like that in your club. To his credit when he didn't like what he saw at the Bravedogs he hardened up, weened himself off his mothers breast and put on his big boy pants.
