[Fat Nyfe]

I think we want Geelong to win to open up both 1st and 2nd

I’m not sure it matters, these teams will finish 1-2.

 

[Ge3ks]

Strange game. It has a weird energy.

Skills are very ordinary for a top 2 game. Lots of action, no finishing.

 

[greatgatsby]

Lol, that said, Petracca goes bang!

Explains why we flogged them both. On their home ground.

 

[Kapow!!!]

Geelong have been the better side for most of this and Melbourne have grinded hard to still be in this. Now we find out if Geelong are the main contender or not.

 

[WaywardSonSon]

Go Melbourne! Scr*w you Dangerflog!

 

[wakojako]

Lots of action, no finishing.

 

[King Huskii]

Similar impact injuries to footy. Concussions. ACLs. Lots of hamstring/calve stuff. Broken arms and wrists. Not as many shoulder injuries other than for keepers (surprise surprise)

Have had players break opponents legs, damage ankles or knees in bad tackles before too.

Also your summary of the sport reeks of the same energy West Coast fans have when they get uppity about derby wins in our favour just FYI

Thats ok

I watched a world cup when a player rolled the ball to Rivaldo from Brasil and he pretended to be hurt and lay on the ground crying until the ref gave him a penalty shot which he jumped up and won the game for them.

I can't take the sport seriously.

Melbourne can finish 4th with loses to Cats, Brisbane and us.

 

[Kapow!!!]

Skills are down in this one because the pressure is next level. It's funny, we've beaten both these sides on their home decks but neither were at their current level. Would not be confident against either especially seeing how poor our transition game has become since the Hawthorn game

That Bedford kid has the onion on his belt.

Hes going to be a star

Melbourne had won 17 in a row when we played them.

 

[mike91]

Gawn and Jackson been useless, 1 mark between them

 

[dxlr8]

Not impressed with either of teams tonight, Freo and Brisbane at their best will beat these teams

 

[Kapow!!!]

Melbourne had won 17 in a row when we played them.

To be quite honest they had been coasting for a number of weeks when we got them. Don't get me wrong, spectacular win and a huge sign for us that we came back from 4-5 goals down against them as well but it was pretty obvious to all and sundry they were down on motivation and playing injured/sick. They're getting back to their best now and their pressure is quite different to earlier in the season.

Geelong on the other hand feels more a night and day comparison compared to Round 7.

 

[Kapow!!!]

Agree to disagree but I feel like we're watching different games. Brisbane in particular I feel would probably be cut apart by both these sides

You talking about this one?

Shameful indeed, but he certainly didn't get a penalty for it. The rules don't even allow it. He actually got fined after the game for acting, though the guy who kicked it at him did get sent off.

Melbourne and Geelong at their best will beat Fremantle. Soz.

 

[Taylor]

And Freo at their best has kept them basically scoreless for a game combined while piling on goals like they are paid for it.

 

[estibador]

I'd almost prefer Melbourne to just beat everyone that's competing for spots with us. Keep everyone else away from second spot.

Nah, the more Melbourne lose the better. Last thing we want is them steamrolling into finals full of confidence and everyone else playing for second.

If Melbourne drop off and become vulnerable it's anyone's premiership, and then we're as much a chance as anyone.

Because they are both equally average + the Geelong home ground advantage, they both look strong.

We dominated them both so much we made their pressure game look weak.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

At some point, you just have to tip your hat to Wells and Scott. Incredible they have been this good for so long. Drafting, development and coaching is absolutely top notch
