Game Day 2026 Non-Swans Game Day Thread and Discussion

Lachie Ash is a glorified stats padder

Neither of these teams in their current forms can get to the last day in September. Neither can score. The delivery forward by both is woeful.

Pies have a good ruck division but other than Daicos, their mids are very ordinary. Neither forward line would bother a good side if they deliver the way they have tonight

 

[wolftone57]

These commentators are lauding Pies big time. They are playing a side with up to 15 of their best side out. heck. That is perspective. So biased toward Vic sides. The AFL Victorian Media are Anti Northern Academies, against WA and SA clubs and so effing biased. It is so effing obvious. I also think Whately should ask Nick if he can give him head for effs sake. He wanks over the guy no end

It's insufferable.

I was umming and aahhing whether to keep watching or switch to the Socceroos, ended up watching the latter largely because of it.

Low key aside from last night there's not a single fixture this weekend that intrigues me.

Wrong i would love him

Will Tassie get the best of the umps because it seems the further south you go the cheats look after you

I actually think most of the games look interesting in terms of there not being a clear cut winner. Not Freo vs Richmond. But can West Coast replicate their form from last week against Port with no Rozee? Have North actually improved, in which case they’ll probably make mincemeat out of Essendon, or was round 1 an anomaly? Can Brisbane snag their first win of the season against a Saints side who it is very hard to read at the moment?

Ash's first 22 disposals had 222m gained.

Callaghan in the first quarter had 228m gained from 12 disposals (3k 9H).

Ash can't defend and doesn't provide any drive going forward because when he does its a shocking kick straight to the opposition

BOG for Victoria says something , even that Daics might arguably been better in some eyes

Yeah he had a decent game there but he has been rotten so far for the Giants. Half of his efficient disposals have been either hospital balls or missed kicks that the player is soo open they had a chance to dive and fumble it out of play

86% his disposals

The new caller Jess Webster is very good
Go Lions beat the sooks

Wth is happening at Marvel thats making games unwatchable clanger fests

 

[swanssince2002]

Well back to grind fests I guess which is not a surprise given the first few rounds were played in humid conditions, and footy weather just arrived.

Not really a grind tho not many targets hit at all

Ross Lyon coached teams have a way of bringing you down to their level

Go watch any local footy reserves game and it is a better standard than this rubbish.

 

[Wolfgang West]

Wanganeen Millera is overrated. Very good player nowhere near the Superstar the media and others think. Bit of a sook as well.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Berry threw a haymaker there lucky it missed.

Lions like all years of late starting of the year very slow

They don't want to drop this. Their luck will run out at some point.

Down to 2 on the bench

Saints should run over the top

Lions class in this last one

You made the age old mistake of forgetting that St Kilda is.... St Kilda.

It's why the whinging about the academies is a joke. They could have endless 1st rd draft picks and academy picks and would manage to turn every single one of them into an overrated hack through their decades old putrid culture.
