Game Day Non-Swans Game Day Thread (The Finals)

[Heeney2Franklin]

This is like watching Freo vs Freo

Immense slog this kind of style is unstainable

 

[Olian]

System wins flags. Pies have it under McRae. Players come in to replace key players & get it done because they are well drilled.

They missed the finals last year. System didn’t work last year when they had a long injury list: Works this year so good luck to them but keep it reel.

Its why when you DO get a blessed year you make the most of it!

 

[Mister B]

That last passage of play before Carlton’s goal, there were at least 6 kicks that I would guarantee if we were playing would have been called no 15. It is ****ing outrageous the difference in interpretation we cop.

How was our system with a charmed run with injury last year?
Pies took their chance in 2023.
We didn’t take our two chances in 22 & 24.

 

[RilesMacca]

Silvagni would have to be leading the hypothetical comeback player of the year award, looks like a 200 gamer in defence.

Not to call you on that. However IMO not 15 disappeared last weekend across the majority of games

How was our system with a charmed run with injury last year?

That's not the point. You said they had this machine-like system. When they had a lighter injury list than ours, it didn't work.

Go Pies!

The point is this is the non Swans game day thread & I made the post after the Pies game last night.
Can’t remember using the word machine either. Not sure why you are both bothered by me giving credit to their system.

He’ll be rapidly overtaken when Callum Mills returns in 1-2 weeks.

Your observation is inaccurate. I pointed it out.

You & Olian seem to be really focusing on my post about the Pies for longer than one really needs to.
I must have offended you both with something at some point so let's just say you are both the winners today.
Congratulations!

 

[Dangas]

Bailey Fritsch dropped off the boil r.e. his goal kicking. Terrible shots, wouldn't back him to kick it unless he is 10 metres out directly in front.

 

[Kbroome]

Yeah Harvey Langford is the real deal and it was bloody obvious in his final junior year

 

[Troystenvic]

Scumthorn are horribly overrated.

 

[Kbroome]

Langford is gonna be rookie of the year and is an absolute gun

 

[McGowan3]

Scumthorn are horribly overrated.

36 to 35 in 3rd quarter. Not watching but ordinary scoreline.

 

[RilesMacca]

Agreed with Langford. Gonna be a jet, looks like such a tough player and has some class. Was my tip for the Rising star before the season.

According to who?

You ok?

The only year I ever thought we didn't take our chance was last year (2024).

Geelong 2022, they were the best team of the year and had a clear advantage playing in Victoria and we were still a fairly young, inexperienced side.

2024 was unforgivable. We had every advantage. And I have to admit we blew it big time and I'm as one-eyed as it comes. I'm still pissed at the playing group and Longmire for letting us down so badly.

Yep.
That's about the feeling.
But chins up.
We've got Essendon covered today.

 

[TasSixer]

Love watching Weddle knowing we should have him
