Game Day 2024 Non-Swans Game Day

[the hypnotoad]

Geelong has more flogs.

yeah, geelong ... club and fans worthy of all opprobrium

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Uh they have changed the rules with the short kicks

 

[Punts]

Just feel scrimshaw is gonna **** it up for the hawks

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Shakes head @ the Lions.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

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

And with an unlimited salary cap to boot

Wandered along to the g to watch Melbourne and st kilda. I’m 100+ metres away from the action and there was the most obvious throw which led to a dees goal. What exactly were the four umpires doing ? Why do we have four if they are so unable to see the obvious ?

 

[caesar88]

Is it just me or are midfield intercepts way more of a factor in footy this year?

Just players getting a hand or even a finger in to cut off handball receives, feels like it's become such an important part of the game

Agree - zone defences and the push up defence mean that ball movement can be quite stagnant except when it comes off hands etc - then it becomes a complete mess and if you can get control you can carve teams up

Umpiring has deteriorated with the introduction of the fourth umpire…I don’t know, it’s illogical…but it just has.

 

[Mister B]

Hawthorn celebrating their sensational win against…… checks the ladder …. The team directly above them outside the 8, as if they have won a final.

Think we need to practice this in the bye and for finals, can’t be disadvantaged. Imagine the headline ‘Slick Wicks Flicks to Paps who snaps six’

 

[wills2g]

not trying to bag a young player, but we made the right choice prioritising jordon and adams over dow

No doubt we've been fortunate with it but I doubt it's made much impact. I think our fortune with injuries has been a bigger factor.

Our draw?

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Our draw?

Yes

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Yes

Well they’re right. Our next match is such a gimme.

What on earth are they complaining about??

Played 5 top 8 teams and won them all. Won all away games bar the tigers. Haven't had a back to back game at home all season.

Bystander effect. Would explain why fewer throws are being called

 

[melbournehammer]

People say saints are really defensive. They’re not. Just not very good at going forward

 

[Punts]

Cam Rayner is just a let down player

 

[melbournehammer]

they have a mosquito fleet of forwards. I don’t know why they don’t simply hit the ball on the ground inside fifty or kick it to king with the intent of telling him to spoil it and never try to mark it. It’s just a series of largely uncontested marks to tall demon defenders

Saints are really the disappointment of 2024 had them pushing for the 8 at the minimum.

Do they have a lot of injuries?

might actually be the best player in the comp. He's making quality opposition look silly
