Opinion 2021 Non-Crows AFL 3: Things Fall Apart!

[jackster83]

Brisbane cannot win the premiership this year. It is either the Bulldogs, Geelong or Melbourne that will probably win it all. Port and Sydney are a chance.

I think it will be a pretty good finals series. Richmond not being involved really opens things up.

Just hope they can have crowds, as games without crowds are s**t.

 

[latinoheat]

I agree, that's the problem, they are only okay but so is just about everyone else so the flag is wide open. I picked them a few months back and they are still my favorite. I just think things will fall into place at the right time.

I think they will beat the Bulldogs in round 23 who will potentially have nothing to play for.

I’m with you Redline , everything seems to be falling their way . They don’t have any major injuries. And the rest of the teams in the top 4 have weaknesses. Melbourne’s forward line is a worry. Bulldogs defence lacks height . Geelong have no speed. If Brisbane still had hipwood they would be my pick.

Here’s a bit of research for you all… which full forwards get looked after?

Heres the current goalkickers table

View attachment 1193453

Okay and here they are individually

View attachment 1193454

Riewoldt, way more against, kicked 45

View attachment 1193455

like Riewoldt, Hawkins way more against, kicked 46

View attachment 1193456
McKay, about even, leads with 48 (got more today obvs)

View attachment 1193457

the man, the legend, like McKay, Walker is about even with 48 goals

View attachment 1193458

Josh Bruce, under the count, but he’s kicked 45

View attachment 1193459

Ben King, way ahead to score his 43 goals

View attachment 1193460

the man, the master, the sniper - way down on frees, but he’s got 41 goals

View attachment 1193480

lastly, Dixon. Way ahead on frees but behind everyone on goals with 37

Okay, conclusions

Looked After: Ben King & Charlie Dixon. And of course, though Dixon’s looked after the most, he has the least goals

About Even: McKay & Walker

Crucified: everybody else

To be fair to Walker, he would have more frees for Holding the ball than any other forward, they weren't frees given for arm chops or holding or in the back.

 

[WetCrow1991]

Draft sanctions? Maybe if they disallow Coll from matching any bid on Daicos - that 'd like to see ... Eddie would explode from every orifice (and we might get Horne!)


Imagine how it'd look if they did blow the TPP and still end up with pick 1.

Imagine if they didn't cop what we copped.

Disagree. You don’t want to have to play the same side two weeks in a row. Bulldogs will win in Melbourne.

Port are very inefficient going forward and have been able to win due to the volume of forward entries against the weaker sides defensively. It is for this reason they get exposed by the top sides - because top sides have better defences.

I reckon the Doggies are the next team to win multiple Premierships.

Best midfield, very good forward line, decent back line. Bevo is a good coach as well.

Disgusting!

 

[1970crow]

I think Tex went his entire career without a mid who could kick lace out to him

He did once say that Lyons was the player he most liked to lead at. And whilst lots of us rate him highly, I doubt anyt of us would accuse him of being elite by foot.

 

[skam85]

I dont go through every page mate> some of us have better things to do>

Like have multiple nuffie accounts on Bigfooty?

 

[1970crow]

So from this point, Port can miss the top 4 by percentage if they lose to the Bulldogs in the last round and ...

Melbourne wins 2/3
Sydney wins 3/3

Sydney has a soft finish. Just need to get over the form mixing Saints this week then they've got Roos and Suns.

 

[1970crow]

I don't even think Port board think Port are on same level as Geelong and Melbourne, especially after how Port played against Melbourne not too long ago.
My tip for premiership is Geelong. If not them then Dees.

Can't see Cats winning a GF at the G during daylight.

I wish they'd show these stats on AFL 360 or one of the footy shows to expose how sh*t Dixon really is

 

[1970crow]

That's not my recollection. He's had at least a few push frees, don't think he gets held much though. He's had 23 tackles all year, I doubt that even half of them would be HTB frees.

[/QUOTE]

Yep, I reckon they get exposed on the big wide ground at the G, a bit too slow.
I think the Bulldogs are going to be hard to beat this year, have got so many good players

 

[chrisso crow]

No one really wants 8th

or 7th.....................

maybe because they know they are so far off the pace it's a waste of time being there

yet the muppets at AFL want a 'wild card' play off

He liked having Jaensch kicking it to him too.

They were already in poor form and now have to play their remaining "home" games away so will be entering the finals in very poor form.

 

[jackster83]

Viney sent straight to the tribunal. Should get six weeks for that act. Piece of s**t.

Protected species because of his surname. Nepotism is king in the VFL.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

The more things that change, the more things stay the same...

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Melbourne will be better without Viney

Slows them down

They will probably blame Tom Lynch for throwing his jaw at Viney again

I actually think thats true
