41 for smith

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Year in year out people fall for their ability to look like superstars against mid to low placed teams

Well no because they have reached the GF twice from outside the 4 2016/2021

Nauseating stuff.

 

[Tedeski]

Yep and Brisbane also have proven they can get it done when it matters , Long way to go.

We just have to win the next 13 or 14 & the p’ship can be ours.

 

[Tedeski]

Why couldn't Essendon have been this shit when we played them??

They were.
We out shitted them.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

They were.

Yep its why we got back in the game after giving them a 7 goal lead(frightneing stat)

You're going back nearly a decade to the most dubious flag of all time?

They're 1-6 against top eight sides this year. Their percentage is so high because they've had four wins by 70+ points - all against sides outside the eight.

That is the very embodiment of pretender form. Good at beating sides below them, bad at beating sides above them. That makes them middle of the ladder and that's exactly where they'll likely be by the end of tonight - 9th.

Dogs to inconsistent for me but imo Darcy could seriously change that.

Still think pies and cats play off

I should of excluded 2016 but 2021 still stands they are capable.

 

[Dangas]

Makes me cry we lost to Bombers.

 

[caesar88]

I should of excluded 2016 but 2021 still stands they are capable.

Since 2021, they are 12-27 against top eight sides. That's a winning rate of just 30.8%.

So it's not hard to see why they haven't won a final in that time either.

This year really does just look like a continuation of more of the same for them.

I will find it highly amusing if North beat the REAL DEAL Freo. Last week the so called experts were saying Freo how far lol. Now they are a point down on the 17th side. Even if they do win if North really trouble them at home, Freo would have to come under the microscope

 

[wolftone57]

I watched it back and we out did them for a half. We just couldn't kick goals.

 

[Membling]

Fun fact, at least one grand finalists is in the top 4 by round 14.

100% strike rate since 2012

 

[Mister B]

Good lord, it's become a bit wet in Perth.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Good lord, it's become a bit wet in Perth.

One would say “moist” even

 

[Kbroome]

I think getting off Konstanty was a good decision he is horrific by foot

Would be a 50/50 kick 20 out from goal dead in front

EDIT: I'm counting that as half on me he kicked that

 

[wills2g]

Parker is still clutch, honestly massive get for north

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Gee, this game has turned on its head

 

[wills2g]

We also lost patience with stephens

He took longer but hes getting 20+ most weeks now

Not squibbing contests anymore either

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Come on draw!

 

[The King!]

Kangas like a lot of hack kicks

Some players take time.

Happens a lot

But panics under pressure…3 opportunities late and no clean hands when he needed them.

Just because he is getting doesn't mean much when he has a worse DE than most inside mids

Basically putting up worse numbers and impact than Jake Lloyd is currently
