Mega Thread Port Forum 'General AFL Talk' Thread Part 6

[Ford Fairlane]

Dare you to phone in and ask Graham if he agrees the players and coaches are distracted by a) eSports, b) basketball, c) membership tally lies, d) cult camps e) the threat of playing a game in India.

Don't worry Dillon is already defending them. One bad game among so many good ones. Only round 4. Harden up princesses. Fogarty didn't tunnel the Collingwood player only stood his ground.

He's a good ambassador.

Dillon - He thought Fogarty pulled out of the contest where he tunnelled the collingwood player.. PMSL!!!.
wouldn't be saying that if it was T Jonas doing that shit

 

[Andy_B]

Dillion thinks Floggitty didnt tunnel lol

 

[PatientMental]

Thanks for that. No fiveAA outside Oz while the Empire Games are on. No recorded message saying sorry either. No message at all. Typical. 3AW provides a message.

Sure you can't stream it through this link using VLC?

and hes not bitter about getting the sack from tv at all. what a peanut

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

Fogarty will be a great player once he gets fitness and focuses on the ball - especially if the Crows become more functional in their delivery forward.

It’s pretty funny listening to callers who are suddenly realising the crows premiership window is shut.

Yep.

2nd oldest list and most players over 25.

And injuries.

 

[JAlexG]

Janus touched on it before and so did Pyked'it in the post game regarding tall forward line.
They thought about it at selection?
Who do they possible bring in? They have no one. They have no one making any noise in the magoos.
They went tall and used the 'thought about it at selection' spin to cover they actually don't have any one to come in. Are any of the 'small forwards' who aren't nobodies injured?

 

[Arthur Dunger]

Did Don try a plan B last night, just looked like he bent over from the start to finish without even a little wriggle.

Do like him.

Stood his ground? He came in from the front. Having said that it wasn't a classic case of tunneling where one player gets under the other. But his attack on the player taking the mark was dangerous and turned him around in mid-air.

 

[nadsee]

Putting this here, because I can!

 

[chiwigi]

I like that the pick for him cost them the exact type of player they need for their ‘window’.

Don’t really want to change tack but my heart goes out to Gary Rohan and his family.

ah man, that would be hard.

a day of such joy and sorrow at the same time.

No, he photocopied plan A and called it plan B.

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

Do we re-think Collingwood for the year?

As average as Adelaide were, that was a massive win for Collingwood that's sure to give them plenty of confidence.

However, they have a habit of putting in one or two great performances each year which has seen them knock off the likes of Geelong and GWS in the past couple of years.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Adelaide copped shit early in the year for disrespecting the sanfl for playing an uncompetitive team.

No one stopped to consider that was the best they could do.

I think so. Came in with a game plan they wanted to implement for the night. Would of been tempting to play the metre game and bomb in long inside 50, but instead lowered the eyes, hit up short targets or to advantage of their small guys to stop the high long ball to be intercepted and/or killed.
Their skills in congestion and hand balling in close for the conditions were surprisingly good.
When you're best players Grundy, Sidebottom, Treloar, Pendlebury are up and about, you're on your way to being at least competitive. Reid and Cox just needed to provide a contest and bring it the ground. Collingwoods pressure all over the ground was pretty good as well, hunted well.

his plan B is the same plan b as Ange Postecoglou ...... plan b is just do plan A better. which is arrogance masquerading as a plan B

 

[Byrons Firen]

Kim Dillon already tipping Sydney next week.

Just heard him chiding Rooch geez he's an arseh*le.
