Finals discussion thread

[Big Animal]

Now that is a sucky way to get knocked out of the finals. A schuey ducky special

Haha. I thought it was poetic. Other teams take a great pack mark, or a clever kick to a forward in space, or a long bomb from outside 50 to win the game on the siren. West coast gets a free for high tackle to their worst ducker 25 out on a good angle. Lol.

Classic West Coast.

Wingard was really bad, but truly shocking in that last quarter.

What's with him this year? Has been very average all year. Also why does he wear long-sleeves every game now? His tattoos must be really shit.

 

[scon]

I'm guessing your post reeks of stupidity.

 

[UFO Tatsu]

News report on C7 was cringworthy.

I'm confused. How can an umpire who got a decision at a critical point of a very high pressure game absolutely correct (according to the AFL) then be deemed not good enough to umpire the following week?

Surely he should be rewarded for not being overwhelmed by the intense cut-throat state of the game and completely stuffing up.

Kinda like how Melbourne got 'punished' for not tanking. AFL is sackless, will never admit they're wrong, incredibly unprofessional.

The AFL ducking the issue.

Less games this coming weekend, thus less umps required.

I just posted on the GWS board. I told them to use any tactics necessary to Beat west coast. I don't care if GWS use any underhanded tactics.

I even gave them my Blessing to use Tough Man Tony Abbott tactics!

 

[scon]

Toby will do about 30 years.


No actually he'd prolly only be fined if he deaded someone.

 

[Deathly]

The only reason why I want GWS is to win because I can see them beating Richmond. No way West Coast will be able to.

 

[stax on the mull]

Imagine if West Coast don't win this weekend - its going to be just as vomit inducing having to listen all the way through summer about how they would have won if Simpson had played Naitanui

The guys at my work are bandwagoning on adelaide instead. It's so pleasant.

I got connections with richmond people so its probably making it easier to accept richmond as being a good team to follow in finals

 

[Kram]

I know just signed an extension but if GWS can't get past a West Coast on the road for a second week after a bruising ET match then surely Leon Cameron's coaching will be under serious scrutiny.

Clearly he is being punished for that free kuck and the AFL are playing denial in public so they do not look embarrassed.

 

[Righteo]

So we've got our Prelim matchups sorted. Adel vs Gee and Rich vs GWS. Hopes? Predictions? Personally very interested to see how Adelaide and Richmond deal with the enormous expectation that'll be heaped on em during the week. I'm tipping one will crumble but not sure who yet.

 

[Allikat]

Adelaide v GWS GF. Do it!

 

[danstar]

Adelaide v richmond. Both teams will handle the pressure just fine.

Dusty to get 40 possessions and 2 goals

 

[Unique Name]

Jetta 7 disposals in an entire game of football.
Duggan 10 disposals.

Aren't these guys meant to be their play makers?

 

[yatesy21]

Anyone but Geelong

 

[largebus]

Shuey's attempt to channel Dusty Martin spectacularly backfired
