Game Day 2024 Non-Swans Game Day

[Olian]

Would pretty much say that’s the final 8?

Adelaide are playing well. Need to do some catchup work though from a slow start.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Would pretty much say that’s the final 8?

Maybe Gold Coast but who would they dislodge?

I think you"re right this could be the 8.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Squiggle says the 8 is set, and has Melbourne winning the flag

Melbourne? That's a surprise on what benchmark did they measure that on

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Looking at the Suns draw they should make the 8 they only have to defend their home games basically and beat the minnows away

yer but who are they dislodging?

 

[The King!]

yer but who are they dislodging?

Essendon will fall in july like every year imo, lucky to have the wins they have (bulldogs and GWS good)

 

[The King!]

Melbourne? That's a surprise on what benchmark did they measure that on

mcg home ground? beat us by 5

it's just a maths tool

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Essendon will fall in july like every year

They look the most vulnerable but what if they just keep winning haha

 

[The King!]

then they make it...

im just guessing here , haven't got a delorian .

Look at least year round 9 we weren't in the 8 etc

Oh of course forgot about that metric.

IIRC it's 2 to 3 goal swing to the home team

 

[Swannie0307]

This weekend had it all - but in the end the Swans are on top of the ladder.

Bombers with a piss weak % that is going to bite them on the arse I reckon.

Actually won’t affect them much cause they had a draw.

Nobody does! It's all in good fun to see who ends up getting close

 

[The King!]

just need North to beat Essendon next week

oh

 

[The King!]

I saw Hawthorn Stkilda and Adelaide all get either robbed or piss away the done game

They also have history of looking great early and fading, seems more likely they fall than not,
But one day they will make it so could happen.

 

[Millky95]

Sorry. I'm a little sensitive about this tragedy.

Only missing Brown. Isaac Cumming and Adam Kennedy are both pretty big outs as well but they'll need to get used to being without them for a while. Cogs after a fair lay off as well. Green was touch and go.

I don't rate them as highly as others, including the bookies, do but not gonna judge them on the Essendon game They were horrendous. Think without going into the sheds at half-time they still win it. Bombers play ugly football that won't stand up.

No need to be sorry, mate! Hope you are doing ok

I mean only team near them with the draw points is Collingwood. That draw might be the thing that keeps them up above the pack

 

[Millky95]

A good home ground advantage. Squiggle also rates teams that keep the opposition well below the expected score. Melbourne have done that so far

 

[Jewelsbon]

Squiggle says the 8 is set, and has Melbourne winning the flag

Squiggle said we would lose on Friday night.

 

[Millky95]

Squiggle said we would lose on Friday night.

And currently 3rd last in its own tipping contest

Probably won't bite them too much I think with that draw. will land above or below teams by 2 points somewhere. Had they lost to Collingwood by a point they'd be 8th instead of 3rd, though. Fine margins and all that, don't think they'll play finals either way.

"Rankine to Rachelle, a bit of R&R on mother's day" was a good bit of gear from Kelli.

situation.

Given how cautious our club has been with the McCartin brothers wellbeing it annoys the shit out of me that the AFL gave Geelong the all clear on this.

Geelong's excuse was that they tried to get Cameron off the ground and he refused. Surely Geelong are responsible for their own players response to this?

It sets a precedent where clubs can simply ignore protocol because "the player didn't want to leave the ground". What a load of crap. The club is ultimately responsible for the instructions a player does or doesn't follow on the ground. This sets a really stupid and dangerous precedent.

I’m staggered at how they got off while Port Adelaide got fined. I’m sure there is a VIC bias after this. Something is wrong given Cameron will miss due to concussion. The AFL doesn’t have the courage to go after the bigger Vic clubs

I thought the claim was that they conducted the HIA on the ground and this is permitted in the absence of certain symptoms -"fencing response" etc. Some show had footage of the 39s the doc was on the ground.

But it did raise the conversation of what would happen if the player refused to leave, which I didn't see anyone having an answer for.

The impact was significant his head bounced off the ground i was gobsmacked how on earth he stayed out there??

They prioritized winning over the health and well being of a player.

And one of the best players in the league too. Shame on the AFL and Geelong
