AFL Round 6 - Other Game Discussion

If GWS decide to go hard at the ball, they will ream WB. They are downhill skiing

 

[Bluelegs]

Didn't take long for the footy to suck again to watch in neutral games.

Boring as.

I'm now genuinely convinced the rules didn't make any difference and it was just the adrenaline of the crowds returning that ment players went away from the coaching and just sent it all the time

Game is a bit livlier now that the players have warmed up. 1 degree in Canberra.

8 in Canberra. Commentary put some Mayo on earlier saying “projected minimum of 1”. If it hits that it will be at 5AM.

I take back what I said. Bunch of softcocks cant do footy right.

 

[Russian Demon]

Only rule change that will work is 15 or 16 a side.

* the AFLPA

 

[Bluelegs]

Is there another player in the comp as important to their side as Greene is to the Giants?

 

[Bluelegs]

This is such a weird game. Ball is moving plenty but neither side wants to take the game on. Barely any clean ball movement up the ground.

Why does it matter if the player is already down? He's picking up the ball a high tackle is a high tackle.

Nah I like that rule. Stops players ducking and cheating for a free

So unlike channel 7

He didn't duck he was picking the ball up. This wasn't a selwood knee drop or he was down then ducked.

Didn't see it but if it's the one where a guy bends down and then drives forward with his head low then bad luck imo. Bad technique doesn't deserve a free

I agree with that picking up the ball then driving the head forward absolutely holding the ball, but picking up a ball and the tackle is clumsy then it's high regardless of the player already being on the ground. Bad technique in a tackle should result in a free.

 

[Russian Demon]

Have to say WB look gettable if a team bring hard tackles and pressure

 

[stabler]

I hate the dogs

 

[Bluelegs]

Why on earth would they put Dunkley back on again in junk time?

Just got home from the game, I was thinking of going early with a learning this week about how much the commentators will talk up the cold in Canberra. Itwas fresh, but very little wind which made the night really nice until early in the last when it seemed to drop a few degrees quickly. Line for hot donuts/coffee was massive at 3QT.

On the game, the Dogs seemed a bit meh? Very good midfield, obviously, but a bit flakey tonight when the heat was on. Naughton is a smart forward, leads well and makes space for himself/others nicely, but is in and out of the game and his kicking let him down. Their forwards otherwise didn't seem too dangerous, the mids streaming through seemed to cause headaches for GWS. Did enough for a comfortable win though, so still a good performance I suppose.

Both sides were pretty conservative in their ball movement which meant it wasn't the most fun game to watch. A lot of switching back and forth even when there were some options on upfield. Weird for GWS, they seem to be at their best playing a running game and taking some more risks.

Josh Kelly has been disappointing for them in recent times. Looks disinterested and/or possibly committed elsewhere end of 2021.

Yah guess shouldn't argue with ya cause I didn't see it but I don't mind them letting some go. An arm over the shoulder doesn't do any damage to anyone so don't mind if they don't pay it as much.

fu** the AFLPA

Agree. Unless it’s at the MCG footy’s becoming crap to watch again.

 

[mrmonkey]

Good start from West Coast I know they don't play at subi any more but I wonder if the dimensions of kp still suits them.

 

[PerfectFooty]

Welcome to having your pants pulled down in front of a hostile crowd in conditions and ground you're not used too West Coast

 

[PerfectFooty]

i think subi was very long, and not as wide as the MCG but still chonky. Kadina is more short and narrow, more similar to the SCG

 

[GatesOfHell]

Suns are officially Sydney’s bogey side.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Dew and the GC doing their yearly turn up for sydney I see..
