Game Day 2024 Non-Swans Game Day

[bloodsbigot]

100% its just that our underlying statistics are so strong that we are favourite in every game except for Brisbane in Brisbane which if Brissie pick up form and get into the 8 i can see us dropping that game. Could also see us dropping games late if we are so far away as it has us finishing 6 games clear. Could easily cause us to finish 18-5 or something

If we only drop 4 more games it'll be our most successful home and away season ever. Now wouldn't that be something? In our 150th year?

I reckon we'll most likely drop games against port (bogey team), crows in Adelaide (want revenge for missing finals), Brisbane lions (bogey) and Essendon (they'll try and injure us so if we have a safe lead at the top we should just let them win by resting players and players our B-team).

Still plenty to go in the season even enough time to get the John Longmire thread bumped it's been quite dormant this season.

I think it was swollen prior to the hit, not sure why though.

He was hit high earlier.
Both hits Parkerish so curious to see the level of bias that plays out this week.

Jhye Clark got him with a bump and so did Blicavs don't know where first contact was on both of them but given he played on i suspect it won't impact their game with Sydney

Anyone give Hawthorn a chance? weird its not at the MCG.

very much so ... hawthorn haven't been bad, brisbane are so inconsistent and not playing at home
the lions are a bit flat-track bullyish ... if they get a start they could win by 80, but they could get beaten and it wouldn't surprise

 

[the hypnotoad]

... then again, hawthorn might just be too crap to offer anything

Lions will win this by 10+ goals looking at the first 5-10 minutes.

Hawks needed another 2-3 i feel

 

[wolftone57]

Neither Lions or Hawks are top 8. But Hawks look closer than the Lions. Lions are so predictable & they wilt under pressure. As soon as the opposition gets a run on players, miss & HF, start dropping off. Not only that, their backs give their opponents lots of room at around 50. If a forward makes a lead toward 50 they drop off or hold back. That invites disaster. It is a wonder Hawks are not 10 goals up.

i posted this about an hour ago in the wrong thread:

could be some interesting results today ... st kilda will give melbourne a run in a defensive slog (and if they don't, melbourne will smash them) ... hawthorn will give brisbane a scare and could win that ... west coast on a roll can upset the crows, although at home adelaide probably win
i don't think any the result of any of these games is as "obvious" as what it looks on paper

Day is a player

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Hawks are beginning to click under Mitchell i saw signs even last season.

But Worpel and Day are waltzing through the middle

 

[Membling]

Brissie away and Brissie at home are two completely different sides

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Lions, are you okay bro?

 

[wolftone57]

Why would Amon take that option when he had three clear players right

You'd be pretty excited about their future if you were a Hawks fan, unlike say North or St Kilda or West Coast or Richmond.

Kangaroos, Saints and Tigers I agree, Eagles though can get excited. They’re competitive at home

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Long way to go but if Brisbane’s chances can be snuffed by the time they play us, we’ll have a much better chance - they are a bogey team for us.

 

[swanssince2002]

What is going on Lions... team doesn't look as threatening without Kitty Coleman in there... no player that can break through lines.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Neale is Brisbane midfield basically.

Dunkley has been hugely underwhelming.

Just want the Lions down the bottom. Can't remember a team with as many flogs in it as this one

Geelong has more flogs.
