yep, rance is an uncoordinated spud

yep, rance is an uncoordinated spud

He was unbelievable in the 2nd half, yes

His first half was pretty average.

Plus Buddy did **** all after he got reported. Took the wind out of Buddy's sails & Rance got on top

Yes Rance was sensational in the end, but there were extenuating circumstances for this occurrence. He was very very good though

I know we are all excited by Eli long term but man... Anthony Miles would be really handy right about now.

Pick 27 in the rookie draft that year after being a ball magnet for GWS. Just... how???

 

[sverik25]

Richmond did Hawthorn a massive favour tonight.

 

[StFly]

Typical Richmond.

Bog average, soft and slow for half a game as if they just show up and expect to win and / or lump things far too easily in the "too hard" basket, and then they look like world beaters, they shut down and sacrifice and work. To give up 8 goals 7 in the first half and then restrict the Swans to 3 goals for the next half and kick 11 goals 6 themselves is no small task.

If I were coaching them, I'd still be taking them out back and lynching the bejesus out of them.

 

[Defacto]

Freo from yesterday vs Saints 2009 GF

B

• Lee Spurr : Steven Baker (baker, one of the better shut down players)
• Luke McPharlin : Zac Dawson (easily dawson, had really hit his straps in 09, mcpharlin now is running on fumes)
• Garrick Ibbotson : Jason Blake (easily blake, versatility to play tall, ruck or small, unsung hero)

HB

• Clancee Pearce : Brendon Goddard (goddard, no contest)
• Alex Pearce : Sam Fisher (fisher, no contest)
• Cameron Sutcliffe : Sam Gilbert (gilbert in 09 like dawson was firing on all cylinders. no contest)

C

• Stephen Hill : Farren Ray (ray better suited to finals football, write it down as a draw to be fair)
• Nat Fyfe : Lenny Hayes (as much as everyone loves lenny, fyfe wins this)
• Danyle Pearce : Nick Dal Santo (dal santo, no contest)

HF

• Hayden Crozier : Andrew McQualter (easily mcqualter of 09 was absolutely killing it, crozier in and out of the side)
• Chris Mayne : Justin Kozi (again kozi was absolutely firing in 09, absolutely murders mayne here)
• Michael Walters : Adam Schneider (walters probably the best small fwd at the moment so takes this one)

F

• Jack Hannath : Michael Gardiner (easily gardiner)
• Matthew Pavlich : Nick Riewoldt (easily roo, pav looks cooked)
• Hayden Ballantyne : Stephen Milne (ballas struggling for form, easily milne)

Fol

• Aaron Sandilands : Steven King (sandi in very good form, takes this one)
• David Mundy : Leigh Montagna (mundy a beast, takes this one)
• Michael Barlow : Luke Ball (luke struggled in 09, barlow takes this one)

I/C

• Tommy Sheridan : Sean Dempster (dempster struggled for consistency in 09, call this one a draw)
• Matt de Boer : Jason Gram (easily gram)
• Lachie Neale : Raph Clarke (easily neale)
• Nick Suban : Clinton Jones (easily jones, best tagger going around in 09)

Drawn: 2
St Kilda: 14
Freo: 6

Just thought of this now, don't you think it's kinda ironic that we have Jacks everywhere in our team, but when it comes to Riewoldt, we have Nick.

I dunno... kinda ironic I think

Ironic or IcoNick? Hmmmmmmmnnnn

 

[Ekomaira]

Ironic or IcoNick? Hmmmmmmmnnnn

Awww snap!

 

[Joffaboy]

Injectors getting pumped again and James Hird sits in the box looking like a spectator.

Hope he coaches Essendon for another decade.

 

[hayes]

That sledge from Mitchell was absolute GOLD!

 

[Simple Jack]

Or another 3. It's insane how much Hawthorn get away with throwing the ball.

 

[Joffaboy]

lol - Mitchell giving it to the dopers at 3/4 time.

Points to the scoreboard and then indicates they need a few more injections.

lol-give it to the cheats

 

[rodney86]

Respect for Mitchell definitely went up then.

What did he do?

 

[Joffaboy]

What did he do?

Exactly as I posted. About 6 Injectors going back to position, obviously one sledged Mitchell who laughed, pointed to the scoreboard, then did the injection in the arm action and said, "maybe you need more of this"

Absolute gold. Essendon cheats deserve to know what everyone thinks about them, including the players

Lol thats gold. I had a squiz at the Dopers board and they are furious, expecting a please explain from Mitchell. Don't they realise everyone hates them and will applause Mitchell?

Are they now denying they injecting anything? because all Mitchell said was they should get some more jabs.

 

[Simple Jack]

Love the look on his face. Plus he actually says 'jab, jab' as he's doing it

 

[hayes]

Lions are up and about.

 

[TheLastEmperor]

Aish showing his class.

 

[hayes]

Aish showing his class.

Loved his work there. Refused to waste it by bombing it in, just waited for something to open up.

 

[hayes]

FFS Rich.

 

[TheLastEmperor]

Great goal Hannley

 

[TheLastEmperor]

What a goal saving smother from Mitch Robinson. Actually don't mind the bloke, gives his all. Carlton could use him about now.
