Game Day Non-Swans Game Day Thread (The Finals)

[The King!]

Agree to disagree, still would pick him out of all other coaches tbh.

Oh it's just opinion, don't have to agree, he certainly has done well

 

[Kapers]

I'm so not stressed about losing to the dons. Let's be honest, this year is a reset year.

 

[Kapers]

Bulldogs going for 200 points

 

[The King!]

Can't rewrite the Ling history , but I hadn't looked at the picks immediately after

ouch

 

[wolftone57]

Bulldogs 60-3 8 minutes to go in the 2nd. What did we let beat us?

Doesnt matter standards should still apply

I mean teams play differently , different weeks we often get too caught up in how a team looks against others.

We just played horseshit

So the bummers are trash....well knock me over with a feather, whodhave thunk it?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Ed Richards on any radar ?

Yes It’s called the Ling Disaster Draft

 

[The King!]

Yes It’s called the Ling Disaster Draft

You liked Ling at the draft, guess you would have made the same mistake

Kudos to caesar88 in the 2017 draft thread he suggested Richards and then demanded Worpel

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Liked is being generous said it at the time I’d have traded back if that was the plan

 

[wolftone57]

The other thing we might like to ponder is;

Are the Giants any good or are they same as usual, Pretenders.

Freo aren't that good. I know they are flat track bullies but to beat Giants by so much?

Truthfully, I haven't been that impressed with the footy this year. Pies and Lion's cruising, Crows next. But even though Cats put on a display against Port in the second half, Port were insipid. Absolutely no pressure at all. I am not sure if Cats against the good sides. Port are not top 8. Probably 12-15.

You wanted to trade up for Jaiden Stephenson


Few here wanted Ed Richards or Oscar Allen

All interesting to read

Jaiden didn’t work out but least he actually played, was more off field than the talent in his case

GWS look like us half cooked/fit. Stinger coming in has not helped

Makes me sad.

 

[The King!]

To be fair to Ling he never got a decent go

Anyway that's my deep dive for tonight

Gws are battling mental demons like us IMO

 

[The King!]

Essendon fans blaming the umps

 

[Ballarat Bob]

Ling had shocking injuries to be fair....but compared to that list....ouch that hurts.

 

[Dangas]

Have we been that insipid this year that Dons are putting up tonight vs Dogs?

 

[Wheresbuddy]

I feel like crap teams know that if they bring the energy and intensity, they're a chance at overwhelming us. But being crap, can't produce it 2 weeks in a row and subsequently return to usual form the following week. Essendon are a crap team.

 

[Dangas]

Is something, bombers kicked 4 goals since Half Time last week vs us. Nearly 3qtr time in this game.
