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

[The King!]

It's round 12

 

[Olian]

Hawks have the most one-paced midfield in the comp.

Newcombe Ward Worpel and Nash are literally all just low possession high contested possession poor kicks that don't burst out of stoppage

Will Day is a big loss for them.

 

[Kbroome]

Will Day is a big loss for them.

Massive loss but if you look at their 2s Hustwaite is the next man up and he is the same as the others.

We have gone the opposite way and have too many outside runners and need 1-2 more contested players

 

[Olian]

It's round 12

True Swans can still make the 8.

What about the 4 that did

 

[bedford]

Love it when Mitchell is fuming

 

[Punts]

McRae dismantled the Hawks

Was at the game , unbelievable how he coaches

Just sets up the ground so well

 

[Punts]

It’s just a system with them , no player has massive responsibility. Just play your role regardless of your last name.

It's like they have an extra 2 players and they are good to watch

 

[Kapers]

I think McRae inspires a lot of trust between team-mates (as does having an older team with a lot of experience).

I still remember when McRae said not to act like losers when losing, and everyone made fun of him, but tbh, I think he's right. They had a terrible start to the season and they have never looked phased by it.

Imo, even the way they chose McRae showed balls, rather than how Carlton, Essendon, and St Kilda have always searched for the easy big names.

I also feel like Sydney had a chance to find a new coach with new ideas, so I'm a bit sad about that.

Mcrae must have forgot to use his bag of tricks last year

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Terang-Mortlake play unbeaten North Warrnambool and in Mortlake, an easy win coming up for the Bloods

 

[Bloods86]

Mcrae must have forgot to use his bag of tricks last year

Just like players, no coach is as good as their teams best form or as bad as their worst form.

Horse and assistants had us set up brilliantly many, many times.

Don't think that many were TBH. The people that care about winning and winning flags knew exactly what he was saying.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Thank god for the mute button when Dwayne Russell and Kellie Underpants is calling

McRae hasnt done anything different from other seasons his players are enjoying sustained injury free runs and are playing career best football.

Makes any coach look good
