2017 Non Crows AFL Discussion Thread part 2

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

How many times do the saints forwards fly for the same ball.

It's like watching the good ol' days of Brett Burton

2016 Laird had 40 inside 50's. Brown had 37.

Yeah Laird doesn't provide much run either. Also not a long kick. Great interceptor.

It's why when Brodie Smith is quiet we're generally rubbish

We're comparing the trio to the GWS trio.

Shaw had 39 last year. Wislon had 68 and williams had 21.

We have laird with 40, Brown with 37 and smith with 103 is absolutely a fair comparison.

Wtf are you even trying to argue here?

I don't think one nominated ruckman should be pinged for blocking the other nominated ruckman. Now that there is no third man up, it's a 1v1 contest. If one ruckman is strong enough to hold the other out, too bad, get stronger.

He was clearly in the wrong position. Stupid free.

Umpires are really like politicians, we have to have them, nobody likes them and they have no idea.

Ok. Not sure why that one metric has become the only measure of rebound.

The comment was that Williams, Shaw and Wilson are the best rebounding trio of defenders in the competition. As always on here, there cannot be any praise for an opposition club without a chorus of arguments about how we're actually No 1 in everything.

So suddenly we're trying to say that Luke Brown is a lightning fast line-breaker surging out of defence and spring-boarding attacks.

Actually he's a Nick Smith type which is not a criticism.

We're heavily reliant on Brodie Smith for our run and rebound.

But we can't vote them out!

Edited your post to keep things current.

No Bruce. GWS won't be top tonight if they win.

 

[Vhaluus]

No Bruce. GWS won't be top tonight if they win.

They would have to basically keep St Kilda scoreless and kick 20 goals themselves to match our percentage.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

This has a GWS v Port vibe to it.

Giants to cruise before slamming the door shut

Saints getting a decent run from the umps here?

Drugs why did you stop responding on the rebounding trio discussion?

 

[mistylake]

Hardly a shock that kid hurting his knee. He has legs like a new born gazelle.

 

[FR0GGY]

scully is pretty good outside 50

We can't do that to pollies either just quietly.

 

[JP Sauce]

Ugh Saints. Could've had a walk in goal then but they ****ed up the last kick. 10 seconds later Scully goals at the other end.

 

[hippyhippy]

St kilda need around 3 more decent players. .. you know they are desperate when gilbert is playing... he looks worse than mckay..

 

[secondary]

Saint are very sloppy, probably playing with a little more endeavour, but cant pull off what they're trying to do.
Can see them hanging on until giants run over them in the last.

 

[pjcrows]

GWS getting reamed by the umps

 

[whitey_1975]

Cmon Saints, hanging in atm

 

[mistylake]

Saints need to stop bombing it.
The first decent lead and he sprays it.

 

[Scorpus]

Heath Shaw with some horrible efforts

 

[hippyhippy]

GWS getting reamed by the umps

No they not .. have seen how many times they've dropped the ball?
