AFL Round 2 - Other Game Discussion

[Toump Ass]

Going against the grain here, but I think Carlton are theoretically s**t.
They're also practically s**t.

A couple of good young kids, an elite mid who hasn't been elite for a year, some GWS seconds, a couple of hard-luck stories and one MacDonald.
Not sure what I'm missing, but that's rubbish.

I think you’re missing the annual off-season overrating of certain lists by supporters and media which somehow takes on an air of reality

Hard to say what is the cause of more Brisbane related carnage ... the Lions inaccurate goal kicking, or this latest COVID case.

Just when I was about to spin it as a positive as we no longer have to listen to Carey in commentary, it then leads to Abby Holmes on Special Comments and Tom bloody Browne boundary riding.

BT is ******* senile

 

[Toump Ass]

Lions are a little overrated IMO, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see them finish out of the eight. Their injury run has bordered on miraculous the last two years.

 

[jhong]

Lions only 20 pts down despite Cats looking slicker .

They have a good list but I have doubts about their maturity. They have been let off the hook for two really bad finals series.

They seem well down with their pressure at the moment. They were silly to cut the SME too. McInerney isn't near his level of ruckwork and ability around the ground.

 

[ImissFrosty]

Lions the new 2019 us??????

They beat the eventual premiers and lost in the Prelim last year ...

 

[Bluelegs]

They beat the eventual premiers and lost in the Prelim last year ...

So one win from four home finals

 

[jhong]

Any one want to point out to the 7 team that the Lions AFLW are due tomorrow in Vic . Are they exempt as well ?

 

[Toump Ass]

Not sure they would have earned a home final without the hubs moving to Queensland.

1-3 in finals last two years without leaving their home ground. Have had an incredible injury run too.

 

[Bluelegs]

Damn games at KP are so dull.

Not saying their record isn't ordinary, more that if you beat the eventual premiers, your finals series isn't "really bad" like it was the year before, regardless of the fact that they whiffed their golden opportunity to win a flag at home that will never come again

Eh I don't really get this. Richmond are a great side but they weren't THAT good last year. Like compared to all the other teams at the top it was incredibly even. They were incredibly lucky not to lose to Port. It just all came together for them in the GF.

 

[Crimson Azure]

Lol, cats get away with a htb in the square with seconds To Go.

a few strange decisions.

 

[Dory_77]

Good comeback by Brisbane. That non-HTB was ******* appalling though. For all the tinkering with the rules the league would make fans a lot happier if s**t like that got called on a regular basis. If that was in the centre square that's called, but 5m from Brisbane's goal and it's play-on.

 

[TheCount]

How good would it be to be handed games like Geelong are.

That wasn't a 50 to Selwood, that wasn't a HTB against Bailey, and that was 100% HTB/Incorrect Disposal against Blicavs

 

[TheCount]

Oh it was Bailey with the tackle too! He's been stitched up twice!!

 

[schmuttt]

Hard to stomach that but Zorko losing is always pleasurable.

Why, I’ve never been a Zorko hater but happy to be converted?
