Bad luck for Jameison

 

[_M_16_]

J. McVeigh's statistics for the game.

42 Disposals
24 Kicks
18 Handballs
13 Contested Possessions
Disposal Efficiency 88%
9 Marks, 0 Contested
5 Tackles
5 Clearances
2.0 Goals, and one assist
179 Supercoach Points

That is a very good finals performance. Cannot go past Hannebery and Jack though, both got 7 Clearances and plenty of the ball, and plenty contested as well. Jack also went Inside 50 8 times, and scored 2.0 himself.

Sydney won the possession count 442-345, in which 159 to 151 were contested, 93 marks to 79, tackles 60-39, inside 50 62-56. Looked a little of the Sydney of old at times tonight. They have had an easy draw for most of the year and struggled in the run home losing easily to some of the top sides. Will be interesting to see how things turn out on the injury front. Still leaning towards Fremantle next week.

 

[Nightowl]

Freo will smash them - hopefully.

 

[bedford]

How did his team go?

Lost by 57, Matty didn't kick a goal , but did his best and his presence around a young team will only improve the kids.

Why is the Fremantle - Sydney game on Saturday night - what's wrong with the afternoon?

It's all about the ratings.

 

[Chicago1]

Sorry, but it will turn my stomach if Fremantle makes it to the Grand Final before I have a chance to see the Doggies in one. Manufactured cretinous team and supporters. (But at least they're not Richmond.)

 

[timtamWB]

So I have two choices:

1. Stay at home and watch Hawthorn vs Geelong in what could be one of the greatest prelims ever.

2. Band rehearsal for a gig at the Corner Hotel. Which we actually need because we don't know all the songs as a band yet.

Please decide for me. Because I am indecisive and I don't want to decide

Band
Reason: The game may well be brilliant, but at some point you will realise the Dogs have no part in it, and who ever wins will be going to the promised land. Depression will surely set in. Should you get on stage, and make an ass of yourself, depression will set in. However, next year the dogs will have another chance, where as you will be remembered as the ass who couldn't play from that moment until kingdom come...assuming you are the one who stuffs up, best case, you all stuff up, and thus you will not be alone in musical exile.

Hows that?

Record the footy - you can watch that anytime man. Live the dream.

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

I used to be indecisive, but now... I'm not so sure...

 

[Igloo]

Who is everyone going for tonight? Firmly behind the Hawks. Don't want Geelong in another GF.

 

[timtamWB]

Honestly I really don't mind who wins tonight because I like both teams, and both play good brands of footy when they're on.

Heart says Geelong by 5 points.
Head says Hawks by 20 points.

 

[Chris Grant]

I haven't had good experiences with Hawthorn supporters, they are just about my most hated team so Geelong for me.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Definitely going for the Hawks tonight. Hopefully they smash them because I've had enough of Selwood, Stevie J and Scott and are I'm not a huge fan of their supporters either.

Still hoping Freo win the flag and Pav is Norm Smith.

 

[Werewolf]

Probably going for Hawf, unfortunately won't be able to watch the game

 

[threenewpadlocks]

Come on Geelong, keep the curse going and I don't want to see Brian Lake play in a Grand Final.

 

[Fossie 32]

No great preference but would be funny to see the curse continue from a Kennett hating point of view

 

[Cudi]

Come on the Cats, would love to see a Freo Cats Grand Final. Can't stand Hawthorn and there sense of entitlement

If you lived in Geelong, you would say the exact same thing about the Cats .

 

[Cudi]

Haha its funny though, hating other teams is all about where you come from and who you know. I can definitely imagine what there like down your way but I remember all the Hawks supporters talking dynasties after 08. Went to a pub in the city last Grand Final and literally everyone in there was cheering for Sydney

 

[Interloper]

Geez I love finals football. Hawthorn should win but the top 2 inches is massive at this level. Kinda hoping the cats win.

 

[Nath09]

**** Hawthorn. Hope the Cats get up!

 

[childeric]

A Swans supporter called the Bulldogs "tin-rattlers" on another thread so I hope Freo strangle them tomorrow

 

[JTCWBFC]

Most deliberate arm raise to get a high from Selwood. **** that shits me. He wasn't even over the ball. He was upright.
