AFL Round 17: Hawthorn v Brisbane Saturday 1:45pm AEST @ UTAS

[dumb]

No, it does not.

I was joking

 

[wowlace]

I wouldn't wanna play Brissy atm. Very good team right now.

Huddo is the best commentator in the game.

But that's like saying your the most likeable Selwood... you ain't beating much!

I'm a Geelong supporter and I can't stand him. Imo, he has a horrible voice for it.

 

[skilts]

You gotta love being in mathematical contention.

Isn't that just the other side of Jeopardy?

Hawks will fall off the cliff soon.

Inevitable just takes some teams longer. Lions fell half way down the cliff in 2005 and crashed to the bottom when Brown retired

 

[bungalow_bill]

Both clubs wouldn’t change their picks IMO. Both are very good players and both clubs will get many years of enjoyment out of them

Agreed. Noticed in the Suns game McGrath having shots at goal? Assume eventually he will a mid/forward. Class player

Going down to Launceston, I thought these cubs were little chance (despite beating the hawks earlier in the season). Just a road trip sure to trip a young club up.

However, the big thing for me today is that they don't look like kids anymore. Earlier in the season they were earnestly fighting for a club on its knees, but always coming up agonisingly short. Winning hearts but lacking class. Today, they didn't look like kids anymore. It is ridiculous how much Brisbane has matured across 2018. Been likeable and competitive all year, but now look the goods as well.

Even with the Eagles winning 10 straight, watching every Lions game this year is what I'll take away from 2018. Always good value. Remind me a little of the Giants progress in 2014-15.

Congrats on wins in WA and Tasmania in the last 2 weeks, and attaining a percentage of over 90%. Given the decade of season resets, we can't take anything for granted (for all we know some kids could leave again), but they should be playing finals next year, and will be contending by 2020.

The only part you got wrong was that they'll be contending in 2019

 

[Mitchell Madness]

The only part you got wrong was that they'll be contending in 2019

Disagree. They're like the early bolted in the Melbourne cup. By mid year they'll be spent (hawthorn 2007 as an example)

Would take that if it meant we continued to emulate Hawthorn into 2008.
