Autopsy Overrun by GWS

[bedford]

Did you happen to give Paps' podcast a listen today?

I just watched , it's quite refreshing to hear a player be totally honest , he's done well with the ribs to get through , not sure Toby will like it

Laughable that some of the same posters who get into Papley about his leadership are the same who pump up Greene as a leader.

After mouthing off at half time he still ended the game with less touches and scoreboard impact than a fresh from injury Papley too.

Would have looked even more stupid if his teammates didn't carry him to victory.

 

[Donza]

Need to beat Essendon by 112 to improve the maths of finishing top 8.

Odd considering they are mates, it’s not the same as bit of banter or a bump in a contest, just dumb

Was actually quite amusing hearing both Papley and Greene talk about their interaction after the game.

Paps sent him a pic of him wolfing down some Maccas at midnight along with a video of him getting his skinfold results. Toby admitted he looked in good nick

That's the infuriating thing about Greene - he seems like a genuine guy off the field and clearly is mates with a few of ours, but he turns into an absolute grub on it.

I was more referring to him discussing our "shallow" entries! Bet you loved that

Also the scintillating weather talk to start it off.

The dropping of the elbow was not in the context of the contest. It was totally premeditated.

And as I've said elsewhere, it's an action I've seen him do frequently.

lol yep was straight on to it , yep the weather talk was as boring as always , but it' s good to hear honest opinions , more players should do it
Talking about the weather , when will Donza give us the forecast , hopefully BOM is wrong

I'm not buying this "he's such a nice bloke off the field" crap. The media always carries on like there is no such thing as d/head in the AFL - everything I see of Greene supports my totally subjective viewpoint that he's an angry bogan on and off the field.

Funny enough i watched the 1st H with Toby's best mate

Did he confirm he's a d/head?

It'd be a lot easier to swallow the whole "Greene just suffers from white line fever" rhetoric if he hadn't been charged with beating the shit out of a guy off the field (and then basically only lamenting the financial cost of it.)

As for his "leadership", what is this based on? GWS are as flakey as us. They made one GF and got belted by a bigger margin than any GF we've been in. The highest they've finished on the ladder under Greene's captaincy was last year when they finished 4th - and went out in straight sets after choking 30+ point leads in back-to-back finals. I suppose him mouthing off was responsible for GWS' dominant second half though (not the spray from Kingsley that multiple players have acknowledged was the actual spark), so kudos to Greene. He did owe them after kicking only one goal from his last four derbies, all losses.

The Giants' tribunal rep?

Fair enough on the first part. I'd forgotten about the off field stuff and was just going on a few interview clips.

Completely agree on the leadership part. Elsewhere people are asking if GWS should strip him of the captaincy yet some here are suggesting he's Paul Kelly reincarnate.

No , Toby thinks there are Richard Craniums on BF , so doesn't read

Not in anyway in the class of the great one

The Giants' tribunal rep?

Actually a really nice quiet person , but they grew up together ,just raised his eyes a couple of times watching

 

[bedford]

The top 4 GWR defenders took 38 marks between them , just showed how restricted we were in the forward line

It feels born more out of frustration with Mills' leadership, or perceived lack thereof, than anything. But IF Mills is lacking as a leader - I still think it is too soon to tell - two wrongs don't make a right, and it doesn't make Greene this great one either.

IF Mills bad leader THEN Greene maybe also bad

There, I 'sliding doorsified' it

This weekend?
Wet. Could be torrential.
Freezing cold.
Perhaps the worst weekend of the year.

Not good for anyone out of form

 

[wolftone57]

I hope next week there are some big changes.

Out;
Francis
McLean (injured)
Rampe
Maybe Papley (put your money where your mouth is)
Rowie (very poor effort. I think he has had a poor season as far as disposals go, only 9 on the weekend. Mind you Sheldrick wasn't much better, 12. Those are piss poor for mids)
If Hamling is not fit then Snell. blood the new guy.

In;
McCartin
Florent
Datoli
Cleary
Ladhams

No.
Not good for our finals campaign!
We need at least a 112 point win.

Is it possible for a side to kick negative points? Would help our % alot.
