2017 Non Crows AFL Discussion Thread

[hey shorty]

Losing that last H&A game cost us a top 4. The year before that they were s**t.

The year before that they made a GF......

I still dont think the hawks will play finals. They can only afford a maximum of 6 more losses for the season just to have a shot. So realistically 11 out of the next 17 games. Its mathematically possible but lets see how they go when they start travelling.

No. They played the Eagles at the G.

 

[Roovolution]

I dont think he will win it. As someone mentioned before, there is a Dangerfield Bukkake every week and given the Cats have been winning, thats enough probably for him to have 3 votes each round. Wouldnt surprise me if Betts grabbed the 3 votes of Sloane last week, given what had happened at AO during the showdown, mind you Betts played an awesome game and would be deserving of the 3 votes as well.

If we only lose a few games this year that's a lot of potential votes for a player who puts in week in week out. Last year showed the umpires are noticing him. Reckon he's a big chance. Dangerfield has sucked the last two weeks and Sloane would've polled well in that same period. Danger not having a year like he did last year.

You could be forgiven for thinking he's even better this year. The thing with Danger is that he's usually at the forefront of Geelong momentum shifts, umpires see that. If he gets votes today though, id be surprised.

They wont play finals. But they will take some scalps along the way. They didnt play bad against us for 3 quarters. Our win got dumbed down by their next 2 performances which were poor.

Its Selwoods turn this year. #FreeKickSelwood

Hasn't been updated yet, but imagine he's leading after this round. Bookies have him 3rd fave now after Danger and Dusty

 

[Roovolution]

Selwood 3 today

Took over the game after half time. Was monstrous.

 

[mattymac]

I actually think Adelaide and Geelong will finish 1 and 2. Geelong's draw is ridiculously soft.

GWS third and bulldogs fourth.

 

[Glenno23]

I'm looking forward to him being interviewed after his Brownlow win.

"So Rory, you're Adelaide's second Brownlow medallist, you're an All-Australian and you'll be lining up in this year's Grand Final against GWS.

How much do you think you've missed Paddy Dangerfield this year?"

I'd actually be fine with them asking that. They can go for their life


Means Rory has the medal and we're playing in a GF

Would be pretty awesome.

29.9 to 16.8. It's not as impressive.

The last 5 games (third time lucky!):

I like the look of our 2nd and 3rd quarters. We really set our games up. Geelong look like they really rely heavily on that last quarter which indicates to me that based on their very slow stop start play, we could shut them down.

Q1 total for adelaide wrong.

Geelongs feels more impressive because they've mostly been come from behind winds, whereas our performances have been more consistent over the 4 qtrs and we haven't had to come from behind.

Yep. We build nicely throughout the match.

And it shows if you can get Geelong early, you've only got to hold them out early in the last quarter.

Actually 23.16, so another one in the green.

Geelong come from behind because they are toying with the opposition. They leave selwood and danger out of the action for most of the game to test their young players. Then when the game needs to be won they unleash them and break away

based on our fitness, speed of ball movement which doesn't slow at all as the game goes on, plus the fact we own last quarters ourselves it seems we should beat Geelong. I haven't seen anything impressive from Geelong at all. They are slow, there ball movement is simply awful and they tend to just bomb it long to a contest in the forward line rather then play it smart. They are good enough to cause us headaches and I am sure it will be a close game but.....There is not one reason we should lose this match.

Other than the Port and Hawks games we have really had the games won by 3 quarter time really.

...except if geelong stop our ball movement like they have the last 2 games we have played them and we bomb it long down the line to a loose Enright.

Wait, he's retired....we will win!

As opposed to North, whom the oppo toy with, just winning at the end. It would be interesting to see North's scoring table for comparison.
Of course, they will win one eventually: I just hope that it's not by a point against us down in Tassie in a few weeks.

 

[Geoffa32]

Our wins are team efforts.

Geelong win when the Dangerwood show fires up

May be one of the few occasions where the Power "let's start a melee" tactic would work. Right at the start of the 4th quarter just get into Selwood and Danger. Keep them out of the play with jumper punches
