Analysis Good win today! Pies by 69 over Gold Coast

Daicos is guilty too often of trying to thread the needle too.

I don't mind players taking the riskier options, hit them, and the game tends to open up more often than not. I also apportion some of the responsibility to make it work on the on the player who it is kicked to. Sidey for instance is sometimes caught standing flat footed waiting for the footy to come to him rather than moving to it.

Piss off asswipe, I mean sideswipe.

Daicos like Adams can be guilty of the inboard, try to skin the head of an opponents head kick which is inevitably chopped off in a dangerous position. You got to analyse risk Vs reward quickly.

Noble for Thomas this week. We have carried him enough.

As I said on match day..........Cox to be the first AFL player to wear an eye patch. Just play him.

Arrrrrrrrr that would be awesome.

You're a bit hard. Anticipation and speculation is a huge part of footy for the fans and pundits. It's not a crime to try and work out what is going to happen next. That's most of the fun.

Not harsh at all 'statements' are meaningless - both in today's football and down through the ages.

Just go back over this years results competition wide and try to made any sense of them for a start - teams will get a run of 3 to 5 really good games and the scribes and pundits will be raving - only for some side back in the pack (relatively speaking) to come out and put them to the sword.

The days of certainty in this game went out the window when the AFL sold out to the betting corporations and media moguls. They need uncertainty to maximize their returns and the AFL rules are being framed to provide it.

We made last year’s GF and have spent most of this year being second on the ladder ...

... isn’t our normal programming to be winning?

I mean sure if you want to ignore how we’ve actually been playing.

As I say, I'm way less critical of errors that occur when a player is taking the game on. They happen, we get our fair share of intercepts off teams trying the same against us. To my way of thinking, players have limited options. They can:

1. pop a pass over the top to a lead up player, shift responsibility to someone else, does little to open play up
2. long down the line, generally to a contest and the outcome less than certain
3. switch play, if not done quickly and proficiently enough equates to 1, you're just back further in the field
4. take the inboard option

They're all risks and can all come undone. The inboard tends to open the game up whereas the other 3 less so.

I do find it ironic that there has been so much discussion of recent times about our slow stodgy ball movement and then those that take some risks to try and change that are taken to task.

Is it just me or has this thread been a bit of a dumpster fire?

p**s off asswipe, I mean sideswipe.

calm down - dislikes and likes each get you a 1 count in your likes count. Maybe they should change it to "reactions"?

Maybe the AFL just want a more even comp

My tongue is as firmly in cheek as yours. Relax.

It's just a hickey on the eye apparently PE

If a Pies player broke a finger nail they would amputate at the shoulder........

 

[Magpie Ink]

It's got one, see.

If not a dislike, a "disagree" would be very handy.
And maybe a "Go fu** yourself" for the Carlton board.

Well there you go, learnt something today.

Now off to the Carlton board

 

[jonbe54]

Of course they do because it means uncertainty and a better i

****!

Seems much worse than expected - torn retina - ONLY AT COLLINGWOOD could a 7 foot tall player get poked in the eye!

You just need to have a bit of thought for the position the opposition are in really, 14 straight losses with no end in sight. They were always going to come out all guns blazing. Look at that first quarter again very closely and you will note they seemed to have about 10 players at every contest, they were desperate to make any sort of a statement.

Merit here, I don't think they were desperate though - looked to me they smelt blood and went the jugular early. Took our guys by surprise (not so much the crowd though lol).

As Bucks pointed out the suns have been elite in pressure all year - even given there performances. When we woke up it looked to me like "ah pressure game, yeah we know this stuff" "righto sunny boys let's go to school on pressure game" (Wills especially).

I'm a property developer re. Real estate. Ex construction engineer.

A Greek property developer.
Check the foundations people, these guys are shoddy.
Not as bad as us Turks I must admit, we'd print false title deeds and sell the same property to 10 people and then disappear.
I would still advise buyer beware though.

Hey, I think I went to school with you!

You’re the bloke who trained to be a construction engineer - ended up getting far far more work than you could do - so employed actors to pretend to be construction engineers.

Indeed, buyer should beware. I do wonder how many of Melbourne’s buildings have been designed by actors pretending to be construction engineers ...

... and clearly here in Sydney they use actors too - bad ones - given the structural integrity problems of buildings in this town.

 

[Baltimore Jack]

Forward line seemed to function ok after half time with the injury to Cox

Melbourne will be a different proposition as they have some very good defenders, but another 192/3 ish size player maybe enough

You mistake jealousy for respect

Look, I know your MCC, EBA, and PMY Group buddies would have all been paid actors set up to impress me, but it still would have been a rollicking good evening!

I'm now assuming the umpires at Edgbaston were paid actors and life makes a lot more sense.

Yes.. and my 2018 Collingwood bf poster of the yr award.. do I have to apply for it in writing? And I hang around with actors.. apparently.
