Game Day Non-Swans Game Day

[Jewelsbon]

Watched this game till quarter time when I switched to a movie, movie finished, switched back thinking it would be Richmond by the length of Royal Randwick's straight

It does, but it means nothing if we don't make finals.

Not to me, still means we had a bloody exciting year for a rebuild (though finals would be great)!

OMG why!!!???

Why does every interviewer ask how wonderful it must be playing at the G compared to <insert home ground here>

The extra few metres of grass makes all the difference. Big concrete stands are a massive plus as well.

Aye finals would be ace. But I am still pinching myself that we are 5 and 2.

Grohan 16 possies and 6 goals at the G!!

The world has gone loopy.

Richmond is now dropping games at the MCG something they didn't do so along with them not being a great on the road side against other top 8 teams i can definitely see it impacting their ladder position.

I've said it atleast 57 times trying to defend him, players like Rohan and Hayward etc are X factor players who make you an even better team when you're playing well. You need them. They always play rubbish when the team is rubbish but you lose those games anyway. Games like these they put the nail in the coffin.

Next week he'll have like 6 touches and 0 goals. Bloke is so inconsistent it does my head in. But when he's on he's ON

Premierships aren't won in Apr I mean May....

Yer i know but they still gotta win enough to make top 4 in the past you could pencil them in as a win at the MCG everytime.

The biggest takeaway from last night was that the 'premier commentator' for 7, the biggest stakeholder of the league, is BT who has only just learned what an intercept mark is...

* me if I didnt already post a rant about the footy media I would have been teed up beautifuly.

Rohan one good game every six weeks and the usual suspects wetting themselves about x-factor again.

If showing up at work once every few weeks is x-factor I can say safely that we’re okay without that.

So you need flat trackers to help you win by 60 instead of 40 but then collapse when the chips are down? I think last night just proves what we all knew. He’s talented but that performance just shows that he half arses it most of the time.

Today: Suns, GWS, Magpies, Swans

Agree, (but with one hoped for change). I expect the Pies to win but rate Norf as a real chance. It will stop the priority pick nonsense, McGuire's head will explode and the Pie Pitchfork brigade in their thousands will descend on their HQ.

Melbourne and Footscray aside (and I s'pose the Tiggers) the Melbourne clubs are having shocker seasons. **Good times**

Oh I heard that to. Seven have Jason Bennett sitting in the wings doing next to nothing and we get this garbage

 

[Millky95]

No way Buckley survives if they losr today

Taylor is someone I just cannot listen to. Brayshaw is not far behind. I watch with the sound muted. I will listen to McGuire if the Pies are getting flogged.

Last week BT noted 75,000 goals at the MCG. It’s this sort of in depth analysis we need more of....

Crazy isn't it?

In preseason, who honestly would've predicted we'd be going into this round 5-2, up against ladder leaders (in an undefeated Dees side, wtf?!?)... and we're expected to be competitive & it not to be a walkover.

Well I certainly would have slept better all week if I'd have heard that

If he carries on playing the way he is, I really hope Touk Miller gets properly rewarded as an AA at the end of the year. He's sensational. Nothing flashy about him in particular, but he works harder than every other player on the ground every week, he's strong and a great tackler, excellent with ball in hand, and a great leader. Criminally underrated.

I remember Roos once saying while he was working on On The Couch that he tried to trade for Nathan Jones early in his career because he saw all of what I've listed above as an underappreciated resource at Melbourne. I reckon Miller would be highly, highly rated by Roos.

That would be disastrous for our chances next week if they get a new coach. Go Pies!

AA selectors stopped reading right there

 

[swanssince2002]

Gonna take a guy as hyped as Rowell was for a GC player to get an AA imo
