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

AFL currently in crisis talks: game may be abandoned if Daicos unable to return to the field.

Don’t stress Daicos will still get 3 votes somehow

Just shy of 60yo Barry Round worshipping Melbourne based supporter (missing the view of the palm trees from the stand)...

.... who has just figured out GWS is his 2nd team.

Unfair that Pies have had 100% of their games interstate so far.

Are Stringer and hogan back next week?

 

[McGowan3]

But we weren't. We got very lucky beating them in the Final off the back of a ridiculous performance from Heeney, and those regular season games were maybe the first two comfortable wins we've had against them in some time. Or are we seriously trying to argue that the same group of players are some seasons suddenly better players than ours and sometimes suddenly worse players than ours off the back of a direct h2h record? As if there aren't so many other factors go into deciding the result of an individual game?

Crazy indeed.

The point wasn't that the Giants as a club/team are better than us, it was that those individual names would walk into our side which was absolutely right.

Heeney had a freak year and a freak final against GWS. He got us over the line in a number of games, including that big game v Collingwood. Covered up weaknesses that finally got exposed when he got injured early in GF. Not that we would have won of course. Also, we had a good run injury wise during H and A season. Happy to be wrong, but their midfield runs deeper than us, especially with Mills and Gulden out.

Stringer yes think they said Hogan was a test so you’d assume the extra week there

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Listening to the game on ABC radio.

Tadgh’s accent has got even weirder, if that’s even possible.

2-3 weeks for each. Hogan the only loss there.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Finn Callaghan is a very, very good AFL player.

I’ve never paid any attention to him before - but wow.

Their midfield bats like 10-12 deep genuinely we struggle after 6-8, and we don’t have a Tom Green

GWS minus Green, Hogan, Stringer and effectively Briggs still doing the job on Pies. Makes me think there's no excuse for our capitulation on Friday night.

He has always been a jet. If he was in a big Melbourne club he’d be talked up like Mr Daicos

The Saints offer was unders

 

[bloodsbigot]

Zoom in on Nicky a bit more. Jesus.

 

[Tedeski]

Wow!
Membrey with 1 kick & 2 handballs after 3 quarters of footy.
Lowest rated player on the ground with 7.

P Cripps will end up with votes in this round.

 

[Tedeski]

Oh ok!
Collingwood players have the cramp excuses coming out.
F k me!

 

[Tedeski]

Let’s see if the brave Pies defeat their cramping & win the game.

 

[bloodsbigot]

Headline: Daicos Gets a Cramp!

Buried on page 4: Oh and GWS Won I Guess.

 

[Tedeski]

Also, let’s see if the Giants can choke on a big lead for the 3rd consecutive game.

 

[bloodsbigot]

Hehe Maynard. Hit him in the other eye.

 

[Punts]

**** me taylor is some sort of player

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

We went two weeks deeper into September than GWS last year and went 3-0 against them. Sure, it's a new year, but the hyperbole that we should somehow be envious of them has started already.

Cmon caesar88 theres gotta be some envy. Their list is better than ours. They just struggle to make it count like we do.

 

[Punts]

green far away from return?

 

[Wheresbuddy]

**** me taylor is some sort of player

Pick 28 in 2017 draft. We had 14 that year.......
