[ballsohard]

Was owies named on field last week when he was made the sub?
I believe he was right?

Yes he was. In the forward pocket.

"I really hope [debutant] isn't the sub" when they are 90% of the time is so funny to me

Nothing wrong with hoping Owies is the sub over of our youngsters

But then they act surprised when it happens.

Pissed off more like it.

 

[BG__]

On one hand I’d like the upset win, on the other the thought of the dogs winning their next 2 and knocking freo out is also hilarious

 

[jdisc]

Pissed off more like it.

Yes, reliably crashing out over a very predictable event.

Newton has been in the system for 2 minutes and had 11 touches and 0 goals last week. Him being the sub purely to give him exposure to AFL footy is a very realistic and expected result.

But I'll still be tuning into the matchday thread to read all the melts.

if tonight's result is anything to go by, freo will crash out in the finals regardless. completely shat the bed today

I don't agree.
And I've got no problem with kids being sub.

I just don't like the idea of a debutant being sub.

No melts from me.
Just have a different opinion to you that's all.

 

[Tugga27]

I'd take the win every day of the week.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Newton in that role rather than Gross makes perfect sense.


Owies still in this team on the other hand does not.

ANY young player that gets demoted to sub, comes on and has 3 touches at 33%DE would've been shown the ****ing door by now.

Owies also had 35% game time with those 3 touches. If you double his game time at 70% and he manages a massive 6 touches.

He was also fresh in the legs too compared to the others who had played a full game.

 

[PremiershipNo4]

I’m only watching this game to see how many goals Owies gets, I hope he gets a bag full.

Newton played with a hand brace on after just breaking his wrist a couple of weeks ago, as opposed to a fully fit Owies with multiple years experience who did bugger all as always.

 

[Farmer Lister]

Owies to be made senior Vice President in charge of half time oranges.

No. No. Junior Vice President!

Owies is also the best player on our list so of course he retains his spot he makes everyone around him better

 

[EdCurnowRules]

Tom Cole is also the best player on our list so of course he retains his spot he makes everyone around him better

There you go… fixed

 

[DorothyG]

We don't really want to beat them though because we want them to move ahead of Hawks.

Na, that's loser talk.
**** the Hawks and the dogs.
We have two games left in one of the worst seasons in history.
Let's have something we can work with and some positivity going into next year.
You don't play sport to lose.

Gah, this is such a bizarre train of thought for me

How'd you go two years ago when it looked like we may lose out on Harley Reid?

Our season is completely shot. Even if we won the final 2 games it really means nothing. Half of the guys aren't even out there to enjoy it. I'm usually all for winning but this year it's different. Rather we get a decent pick.

 

[Bender_]

Guys, at best we'll give Bulldogs a decent shake. We're not beating them.

Cool cool, let's just keep on being the laughing stock of the comp. Ingraining a lossing culture of the club that will be hard to shake. Give the supporters who have stuck fat and had no enjoyment for the past 4 year nothing to get up about.
Heart and soul guys like Hough and Ginbey who have some of the worse win loss career records.

But **** year we might get a pick in the upcoming draft that is 1 maybe 2 placer higher.

I love winning the draft!! **** the flag, that's for peasants.

I'm happy to disagree strongly with you on this one

BREAKING NEWS!



Even if we win both games (yeah, I know…), we’re still getting pick 1.

So, extract all digits, and get some wins I say…would do the kids a power of good.
