2020 Non-Crows AFL Discussion

[GrommoT]

Giants have Sydney, WC, Freo, Carlton, Adelaide and St Kilda.

That pick is going to end up roughly where it was expected.

Probably end up around pick 12 to 14 - but... if WB, Ess or Melb can get their act together and GWS drop a coupla games, GWS might just get kicked out of the 8.

I wish we had a selfish 19 year old jet in our side.

I’m not sure it was selfish as such - it was more just really dumb.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

It was the exact right play by Rankine. Just didn't execute the kick quite well enough. Bit of a hook

Our players would have kicked into the man on the mark.

He does have a bit of form in that regard at West Adelaide.

 

[Red mist]

Let’s hope GWS are awfuler

I like your use of words that can’t be said.

Logical goalls

I've seen him kick goals from out there for Westies.

Top of the square was the go last night though

 

[MarcusP2]

Close game.
Player succesully runs down the clock so the other team can't possibly win, while still creating the chance for his own team to win.
"Selfish"

Yeah, I assumed he was trying to get it to the square for a punch through. If he gives it to Weller who kicks a point still a minute left with Bombers in possession.

Yeah, and I've seen him do quite a few undisciplined acts at Westies too.

Don't think doing the team thing is high on Izak's agenda somehow.....I've seen enough to make that call.

 

[Bearded Clam]

Yeah, I assumed he was trying to get it to the square for a punch through. If he gives it to Weller who kicks a point still a minute left with Bombers in possession.

One thing his actions did do is effectively kill any chance of the Dons getting possession with enough time left on the clock to run it back down the other end and score..

did he mean to do that though?... possibly..

it was noted by the commentators that he was told that there was only 30 or so seconds left..

maybe he thought “I’ll waste 20 seconds of that to kill any chance for the dons, then go for goal.. and if I only make it to 10m out hopefully one of my team mates marks it or punches it over for a winning point”..

But we’ll likely never know what he was thinking..

in the end it also looked a little bit like he shanked the kick.. maybe he has that distance in him??.. dont know that ive ever seen him kick 55 from a set shot.

Agree. Take the time off the clock. Go for goal. Get it close enough that it gets punched through for a point. No chance for essendon to move the ball the length of the field.

Dew handled it well I thought "We either won or it was a draw, and unfortunately it didn't come off"

How many people are they allowing?
I’m waiting for the alice springs announcement to see how many they let in. Given not much is seated.

If Brisbane, Port or West Coast play a home grand final I would imagine the AFL will be really concerned. The advantage to the home team will be massive, worth at least 5 goals. It will highlight just how unfair the competition is when a Melbourne based club plays a "neutral" grand final at their home ground.

Conversely if a Victorian team wins an "AWAY" GF, they would continue their theme of Grand Final ground being neutral.

Or they'll say "See, it's not that hard"

 

[GROTTO]

Or they'll say "See, it's not that hard"

An ideal scenario would be a Vic team finishing higher placed, then getting torn apart by the team lower placed but playing on their home ground in the Grand Final.

I would accept also, Port finishing 1st, Lions 4th and hosting the Grand Final, then tearing them a new one.

I could enjoy drinking salty Alberton tears all summer.

If Port or West Coast play a home grand final no team will get near them. Brisbane will have an advantage but probably not as big.

Brisbane will beat anyone bar Richmond I reckon. Seem to have the wood on Port and West Coast.

I disagree about Port, they have shown they have a tendency to absolutely panic when they are favs.

the Lions inaccurate kicking the other night v Tigers was a direct result of them shitting themselves. I dont think they can beat the Tigers either, esp if they are at full strength.

 

[hey shorty]

Former Crows top up Tommy Hutchesson making his debut for GWS tonight.
