2017 Non Crows AFL Discussion Thread part 2

[Roovolution]

Both teams who played us and won have lost the next week.

We broke them lol

 

[Tyls83]

Lyon will bench Walters if he keeps kicking goals

 

[PCORF]

Fantastic wins by Essendon and North today!

I tipped them both.

And to Melbourne, you cannot expect everyone to gift you wins. Good one North.

 

[Firewalker]

I honestly think Walters could have 30 touches and kick 6 against us next week in the form he's in + the crows are already his bunnies

I'm reasonably sure that only GWS and Essendon won their games after playing us. Though I'm not going to read anything into that, it could just be a coincidence.

 

[Glenno23]

Freo with a nice hard slog in the rain nearly 24 hours after we played

Excellent

Still going to be a tough game against their structures. A good test indeed!

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Will be a tough test for us. I don think we ever play them well. Freo will be well into the 8 tonight and 1 game behind us.

Smashed them last year at Subi (game where we were late for the plane and sang the song in record time)

Beat them by 33 at home too

But they were shit last year. Had some good tussles with them no doubt

My Fave Freo memory? Keeping them to 1 goal for a whole game.... then the guy who kicked their only goal was dropped the following week!

 

[Tyls83]

Expect Ballantyne to be around the mark for next week having played WAFL

 

[chazwazza]

In all honesty most teams are winning comfortably one week and getting thumped the next.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Freo will need to probably kick their highest score of the year to beat us next week

I can't see it happening

 

[chazwazza]

Might try to get a ticket to this game, Mrs away for the weekend and I've got nothing planned. Should be a good game.

 

[Bicks]

And reportedly very ordinary in a Peel Thunder side that absolutely dominated the Perth Demons 123 - 33. interestingly SA draftee Brennan Cox had an enormous game in the same game.

I don't think we'll score that heavily against them. They set up very well, something we have struggled against

 

[Tyls83]

Sydney primed to make the 8 now. They have the Hawks twice, saints, Carlton, Essendon, freo, suns and bombers at home as well as the hapless dees and Richmond at the mcg

 

[Elite Crow]

Freo will not be easy, this is a big test.

Well coached and capable of clogging us up.

A quality midfield full of big bodies and ball winners, exactly what we don't match well against.

 

[GreyCrow]

Has Murphy taken Eddies GOTY?

 

[Scorpus]

I hope Ballantyne plays, I reckon he's cooked

Dennis Cometti reckons it's the best midfield in the Comp and he's a pretty good judge IMO. Rory better be preparing for Connor Blakely to be in his back pocket already.

Dennis Cometti's Big Call On Fremantle

The Dockers boast a midfield of Brownlow Medallist Nat Fyfe, as well as Lachie Neale, Stephen Hill, David Mundy and the recent additions of Michael Walters, Brad Hill, Connor Blakely and Lachie Weller. It's helped them to a 6-3 start, fifth on the ladder and one game off top spot. Cometti explained why. "They're just bigger and stronger, I think," he said. Andrew Embley singled out Blakely as an impressive player. "Fremantle at the moment have got some really good, strong bodies inside," he said. "Connor Blakely's a guy that I really like at the moment because he can play two roles for you: he can go to the best opposition midfielder and shut him down, but also different to maybe a Ryan Crowley where he can actually find a lot of football himself as well."

not just cooked, probably boiled or flambayed

They're far from the best individually but they work well as a unit. Plus they do get a nice armchair ride every week.

 

[Elite Crow]

Freo are paying $5.75, that's ridiculous.

 

[Bob Neil]

Just when you thought Alanis Morrissette had said everything there was to be said about irony I saw a quote about yesterday's Hawks v Pies game which said that Luke ('good bloke') Hodge was incensed about a jumper punch from Taylor Adams and that's why he flew off the handle.

You couldn't write this stuff!

 

[Peter Doherty]

Top 10 teams all play each other next week.
