2014 Non-Crows AFL Discussion

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Game really opened up in the last quarter. Tense finish.

Our St Kilda win not looking quite so barnstorming now.

Game really opened up in the last quarter. Tense finish.

Our St Kilda win not looking quite so barnstorming now.

Many Jekyll & Hyde teams particularly where inexperienced... Us included.

Trick is for us to win most of our games against similar level teams.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Standard low in Freo Roos game.

Not many quality teams this year making finals wide open.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Freo don't look remotely close to challenging for the flag atm.

Freo don't look remotely close to challenging for the flag atm.

Their delivery is shocking, which is made worse by missing Ballantyne and Walters at ground level (Mayne is injured/horrendously out of form too). Even so, their flag credentials are in serious trouble if they can't account for North Melbourne at home.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Freo's next batch - Crozier, Neale, Sheridan, Sutcliffe - don't look anything special.

 

[ruscy002]

Really get sick of Lindsay Thomas princessing it on the ground all the ****ing time

 

[ruscy002]

Freo's next batch - Crozier, Neale, Sheridan, Sutcliffe - don't look anything special.

That won't be Ross Lyon's problem though

North the most inconsistent side in history.

v Essendon: Pathetic
v Dogs: Average
v Port: Impressive
v Sydney: Excellent
v Collingwood: Pathetic
v Fremantle: Huge win

 

[ruscy002]

Only on 1/3 tips so far (unbelievably Brisbane is the only one I've got), but I'm enjoying the fact that a bunch of people in our tipping comp have absolutely torched a wildcard this round

 

[Sir Vlado]

This is the sort of match Freo would've unceremoniously won by 4-5 goals last year. I think they might be Fremantling themselves.

Wouldn't surprise me if they lost to the Suns next week. Must be frustrating, their best is as good as anyone's but their worst is wooden spoon standard.

Last year, North kicked 4 goals for the match. They've clearly gone backwards, North beat them at their own game tonight.

 

[Glenno23]

Yep, they're getting into "won't finish in the 4" territory, and from the West, you're best off being top 2 (although they did beat the Cats in Geelong last year)

Only need to lose another 3 or so games and no top 4 for them

 

[Hank93]

Current average score per side is 85.56 points per match.

No match has seen two teams score over 100 points.

Only Geelong, Hawthorn and Port are averaging over 100 points per game.

good, would love nothing more than to see Ross Lyon in the coaches graveyard

Port boosted by playing the Lions and smashing the pants off of them

I've been calling it for ages. The man is a decent coach, but can't get it done at the big dance. Is it 3 GF's now for 2 losses and a draw?

Nothing better as a non WA football fan and watching the teams here lose

Just need WC to lose to Carlton tomorrow for more lols

 

[ruscy002]

"We want everyone to play like Drew Petrie. That doesn't mean kicking five goals..."

You're right Boomer, it certainly doesn't!

And what the hell is Boomer going to do with a Tissot watch, chuck it in the drawer next to his Rolex and Omega? Give me a Tissot ya pricks!

 

[Hank93]

We really need to take advantage of the evenness of the competition. The way it's looking a 11-11 record will get you in the 8, which is extremely possible with our draw.

14-8 might be enough for 4th spot.

isn't it 4 GF's for 3 losses and a draw?

I'm so glad he hasn't won any, I can't stand watching Freo play and frankly I'm a little terrified of his way of playing spread throughout the league.

2009 loss, 2010 draw, 2010 loss and 2013 loss.

So 0-1-3 record.

 

[ruscy002]

Did Dennis Cometti make Basil Zempilas by getting himself pregnant?

 

[DD#23]

2009 loss, 2010 draw, 2010 loss and 2013 loss.

So 0-1-3 record.

yep, so it 4 not 3.

my money is on Ross not pulling a Blighty

 

[Kraven]

Beats me why Norf bothered getting Tippett.
