2014 non Freo games

[refresh]

How is it that we can beat Geelong but not Hawthorn?

Scissors, paper, rock

 

[free at last]

I'm hoping for cats win,stops hawthorn from getting a real jump on us.
We've gotta beat cats and hawks at subi.

 

[Kram]

It feels sickening wanting one of these teams to win for your tipping.

 

[Lach72]

Som e ordinary footy out there.

Hill, Rioli and smith have had no influence at all

Will be a very close finish with the winner coming in the last couple of minutes and everyone will proclaim that this is the pinnacle of footy, disregarding the pretty average first three quarters.

Hill and Rioli unsighted today.

 

[estibador]

Both teams below 10 goals at 3 qtr time.

Hawthorn and Geelong are ruining football.

 

[DOCKERZ]

Georgey is a bloody stupid bastard according to Mr Scott for missing a goal. Hope he doesn't miss a flight.

 

[freoextra]

Ok, it's on for young and old now, 2 points in it in the last quarter.

 

[caterina]

Geelong winning helps us right, since we still are yet to play them? I tipped the hawks and thought they would win quite well, but yay cats.

 

[estibador]

And so the game of rock, paper, scissors continues...

 

[hoss]

Hawks choking yet again v Geelong. Great laugh. Hope someone tweets that dickhead Ross Lewis and tells him.

 

[believe_it]

We'll probably beat Geelong by 6 goals seriously. Only seen about a quarter but Hawthorn just look uncomfortable.

I hate complaining about the commentators but Bruce, really, can he sound any more weird??

 

[samFFC]

Tomahawk seriously good - him v McPharlin should be a cracker!

I'm convinced he had one hand on it while commentating the game. Some very over the top comments and strange sounds today.

Why the **** did I pick Hawthorn, sure went down the toilet with that round of tipping.

Needs to come out of the closet.

Well, I enjoyed that Hawks/Geelong game. The swooning over Rioli despite the fact that he did sweet FA is bloody annoying, but I'm used to it now. I now he can break games open in a flurry of skill and creativity, but he really is over-rated as a complete footballer. I reckon I could pick two teams of players that wouldn't have him in it.*

Anyway, as annoying as this weekend has been in some ways, that Cats win makes it 8 out of 9 for my tipping (yes I didn't tip us to win in Sydney, I knew Sydney would lift and had them as slight favourites despite the official odds etc.), so that's not too bad given the only one I got wrong was the Dons upset.


* OK, maybe slight overstatement, might have to think that one through first .

You're not kidding! They will have to put a MA rating on games he is calling soon!

Imagine if we had a midfield when we played the Hawks though, Pav probably would have kicked 8 instead of 4. Geelong finally able to exploit Hawthorn's undersized defence.

 

[pokerspiv]

We would have beaten Hawthorn quite a few times if we kicked 15 goals too.

Could be worse, you could have tipped Brisbane, WB, Freo, Essendon AND Hawthorn.... This is my worst season of tipping in about 10 years.

 

[pokerspiv]

Geelong had 15 goals from 53 inside 50s (28%). Against Sydney we had 9 goals from from 48 (18%). In the GF we kicked 8 goals from 44 i50s (18%). Hawthorn had 45 (just one more than us) but kicked 3 more goals (25%).

That's why we can't beat Hawthorn.

For a top 4 side our forward structure is very bad. We rely on smashing the opponent at contested ball to win. In a relatively even game (like vs Sydney on the weekend), we regularly lose.

Same apart from Brisbane, changed to Freo just before the game.
