Game Day 2017 AFL Grand Final

[passmark]

Hawks best 22 still way better than Tigers.

I reckon 12+ teams will see themselves as top 4 possibilities.

He's bang on.

I still think the 2016 Dogs, Syd and Giants were waaaaaay better teams in the finals.

He's not really saying anything groundbreaking. One of the Tiger players or coaches even said so themselves yesterday that they're not the most talented side.

You don't need the most talent to win AFL premierships, it's about how you play on the day, injury luck, draw luck and coaching.

Hawthorn won 3 straight flags and in almost every season they contended there was always talk of a side that was better than them. They obviously had a lot of talent but I've always felt like the Swans had the better footballers, particularly once Buddy left.

Tigers fans couldn't give a stuff if they're the least talented or anything like that and rightly so. I'd kill to be partying like they are right now.

Grant Thomas really shouldn't comment to be fair, i don't recall him coaching any teams to premierships..

 

[Wickzki]

Yeah but its more like

Neither have you or I or the majority of people who comment on GFs.

Who gets the feeling that when we win it, the media won't want to paint a sexy story like Richmond. Probably mention we should of won anyway, as we raided gws etc etc...

That's a long post to say you agree with him.

Who cares.

If we win one I won't care what anyone has to say.

The footy media isn't worth worrying about a great deal. They change their tune week to week to get attention.

Okay fair point, but he is the one calling them possibly worst group to win a premiership, not us

I am.

I think this was the worst line-up since 1990.

Okay, perhaps they are.

Well you can have the most talented list .. in every position, but you need smart coaches, hard work, game plan and team work

Who give a rats toss bag if you snag the flag

Exactly. You just look bitter ripping into a premiership team.

It's only really relevant if you want to discuss best/worst premiership teams etc.

Forever trying to be relevant, likes the sound of his own voice and yes he's bitter and twisted

Has a Twitter account and follows NO ONE but has 22k followers.

So... Big games and Eddie Betts

For all of his brilliance he does struggle on the big stage.

 

[HBF]

Rory was ok but who else, went missing didn't fight hard enough, lacked mongrel

I thought Matt Crouch was good early, but faded like the rest of his team mates after qtr time.

How egotistical do you have to be to follow no one? I guess Grant Thomas levels

 

[Blueboys11]

Not sure why Tiger fans are taking it personally when people say they had an average list that was well coached and drilled and worked great as a team

I would love it if our bunch of spanner crabs could pull off a flag next year. would enjoy it more than if we had the perfectly constructed team of superstars
