Game Day Changes & Pre-match Discussion - RD 19 vs. Fremantle. Sun 20/07 @ 3:15pm (MCG)

[Jelly Bean]

It doesn’t matter if we’re on top by two points or ten. We’ll still be playing at home.

Yeah, but the point is that we may now not finish on top.

 

[Bianconeri]

We've just dropped games to GC and Freo.

We have Brisbane at home in 2 weeks, Adelaide away and the Hawks.

Given our current form we could easily go 1-2 or 0-3 in those games. Crows at home are a 30+ point better side.

If we go 0-3 for those game we weren’t winning the premiership anyways.

Crows haven beaten us in Adelaide for a while as well anyways.

Let’s worry about what in front of us not behind us. We’re still on top with more players to return to the side and some fresh ended with a rest.

 

[gouki88]

I was talking about Moore.

Apologies

 

[jmac70]

Yeah, but the point is that we may now not finish on top.

Why not?
We’re top now and have Richmond next week.

 

[Bianconeri]

Yeah, but the point is that we may now not finish on top.

As of now, we’re still on top though.

 

[gouki88]

Why not?
We’re top now and have Richmond next week.

And then Brisbane & Adelaide. Monumentally important games

 

[Jelly Bean]

Why not?
We’re top now and have Richmond next week.

Yeah, but then play the two teams that are directly below us on the ladder - one of them at their home deck in Adelaide. And we play Hawks (who I feel are a bogey team of ours).

We need to probably win 2 of those 3, and beat Rich and Mel.

 

[Jelly Bean]

As of now, we’re still on top though.

Yeah, as of now. The finals schedule is based on the ladder at end of R24 though.

 

[jmac70]

And then Brisbane & Adelaide. Monumentally important games

Perfect games to consolidate our position leading into finals.

All very winnable games.
They don’t hand out flags for beating no one.

 

[Chronz]

And then Brisbane & Adelaide. Monumentally important games

Then the Hawks, not an easy run now. Needed that win.

 

[ksardog]

We haven’t played a complete team game since the Hawthorn win
Very spasmodic since then

 

[gouki88]

Perfect games to consolidate our position leading into finals.

Hope so

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Pathetic loss...that's all

 

[Jelly Bean]

Would you be comfortable if we were coming up against Adelaide in Adelaide in a final?

 

[jmac70]

Would you be comfortable if we were coming up against Adelaide in Adelaide in a final?

Why not?
We play that ground very well.

I expect us to finish top though.

 

[TradeDraft]

Umpiring changed this game
The Sidebottom weird call and then the Moore missed free.

Umpire is shit

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Richmond will play their GF next week. If we played as crap as we did today, that's suddenly a game that could go either way....Our use of the ball was so bad, no matter who we played today would go close to beating us....

 

[stormskye]

Would you be comfortable if we were coming up against Adelaide in Adelaide in a final?

With hill, membrey, Houston, frampton, Howe, and degoey all back, very. We’ve lost 3 games by a goal all less ffs with multiple outs. The insane takes on here..

 

[JoinDate]

Pusswah you want a ban, ****wit?

 

[Jelly Bean]

Why not?
We play that ground very well.

I expect us to finish top though.

If we lose more than one more game for the year, we will almost certainly not finish top, and probably finish third as our percentage will probably be lower than Adelaide's.

So we've got only one more loss we can afford.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Pendles needs a break. He actually looked like he was struggling....

 

[manicpie]

Report the campaigner

No chance. Shitmound will get destroyed.

 

[wcv1475]

We need to start getting players back, we were always going to lose a few towards end of season. But we need some continuity in the playing group, for instance DeGoey to play finals surely needs to be back in next week or so. I weirdly say it but Frampton is a big missing piece down back. We need to start fielding a full strength side for run into finals.
