Game Day 2022 Non-Swans Game Day

[Ed_Gein]

There will probably come a year where they'll make me regret saying this, but I just can't take Geelong seriously as contenders.

It really should be this year in all honesty. They are convincingly the best team in the comp.

It really should be this year in all honesty. They are convincingly the best team in the comp.

But are they?

They're always just so hard to read because they love belting poor sides which boosts their percentage, and they have the biggest home ground advantage in the comp which boosts their win tally. It's why they get exposed as exactly what they are come finals time when they're against quality opposition and away from their GMBHALGBTQABCUNICEF stadium.

 

[RUNVS]

Hewett will be lucky to play again. Which is s**t.
Back injuries are the worst. Career ending.

Nonsense. He had a long back injury a few years ago but came back and played for ages with no issues.

Can only beat who is in front of you. But yeah, I think they're the best team in it. I know Collingwood have won 11 in a row as well, but they're only doing just enough. Melbourne and Brisbane are up and down. Who knows with us and Freo... can only wait and see how they turn up in the finals I guess, but they're in a great position when you look at how they're going against the teams around them at the moment.

30 point loss to Sydney
13 point win to Collingwood
10 point win to Brisbane
3 point loss to Freo
3 point win to Richmond
28 point win to Melbourne
30 point win to Carlton

5-2 at 109.43% against the top 8
12-2 at 170% against bottom 10 sides

Yeah nah. Back issues are a constant.

10 point win to Brisbane
3 point loss to Freo
3 point win to Richmond
28 point win to Melbourne
30 point win to Carlton

5-2 at 109.43% against the top 8
12-2 at 170% against bottom 10 sides

I'd be keen to see their record in finals not at their home ground.

Or should you just save yourself the time of looking it up and post a dog s**t emoji instead?

I actually like their finals record at Geelong since 2000: 0-1 against Fremantle

 

[caesar88]

Key forwards don't deserve to be the highest paid players in the game.

They don't really have many jobs. Take marks and kick straight, and most can only do one.

 

[Membling]

Take marks and kick straight, and most can't even do one or the other.

Hence the premium on good ones

 

[caesar88]

Hence the premium on good ones

Very few good ones though so there's a lot out there being overpaid.

 

[caesar88]

Goalkicking looks the worst it's ever been. The game would be embarrassing to sell to international viewers in its current state.

is such a ******** gun. Talented as s**t yet still the hardest working bloke out there every week.

 

[The King!]

blues getting reamed

 

[Ed_Gein]

God, Jobe Watson is a difficult listen as a commentator. Not very articulate and his opinions are ridiculous or make no sense half the time. Typifies the nepotism rife in AFL.

 

[mattpolo8]

I'm at the g. Surrounded by blues fans. It's hilarious.

 

[caesar88]

Melbourne's small defenders are a massive weakness for them. They get beaten in 1v1s so easily. Heeney, Papley and even lacky band Hayward would have a field day on them.

Blue baggers bagging their own players? Or just crazy in general?

Knows how to flop to

 

[caesar88]

I feel like the AFL introduced all these new rules to increase scoring and make life easier for key forwards and the key forwards thanked them by making set shot misses from 30 out a routine sight in footy.

 

[GoodesStuff]

Blues right in this. Let’s see if they can keep it up

 

[Millky95]

Knows how to flop to

And how to throw

 

[Millky95]

The biggest thing I have gotten out of the Demons/Blues game so far is that Carlton should be wearing white socks

...and why isn't the CFC filled in, why is it just an outline? #boringblockbusterthoughts
