When was the last time we knocked off a team that was flying? I'm thinking like hawthorn 2015 or so?

Ken got pretty excited after beating WC earlier this year does that count?

 

[sobrave]

Geelong weren’t even trying, I was annoyed that they didn’t smash them.

To be fair they looked like they weren't trying against us too. I think that's just how they look, they aren't very good. But good enough to beat s**t easily.

Yep, that's the only one that springs to mind. The infamous Hodge/Wingard/goalpost game.

Seven... effing... seasons... ago

Watching Freo’s small forwards provide real defensive pressure and then make the most of half chances makes me very jealous. That’s a part of the ground we have regressed badly in with a cupboard that looks pretty bare going forward.

What’s Sam Gray and Neade doing?

 

[PowerBaz]

Sack Ken. Wrong thread but wrong coach.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

You know nothing about football

Lol

I tip Port every round, so really after round 5 it was clear I wasnt winning so have progressively been taking the piss more with my tips. Pointless bragging is all I have left.

 

[afl2004]

Hopefully freo or lions can win the premiership, so over Victorian teams winning it

Well he did ask when we last beat a team that was flying so west coast are the Eagles and Eagles do fly so your technically correct

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Freo supporters would be buzzing.....amazing what a change in coach can do hey.

If only Vossy or Longmuir were gettable back in 2019, but I was reliably informed that we couldnt possibly get anyone better than Ken.

He needs time to settle in

I had a laugh at Wayne Carey tipping us last week and how he's only ahead of Emma Kearney in The Age tipping (because she tips N0rf every week) - well I'm level with Carey with my tips

 

[JimmyBC]

Rankine does some beautiful things at times.

 

[philreich]

I'm going to the game in Alice so maybe they won't turn up.

Well hopefully Ken won't be our coach by then, so who knows?

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

Marobone Joel..

Good goal

 

[all seeing eye]

Suns looking ok, quick direct footy, pretty simple, but good to watch.

 

[Contested Marx]

I've never really rated Dew but I reckon Gold Coast are closer to a flag than we are right now

Add them to the ever lengthening list of "we've got a long way to go to be as good as..."

 

[philreich]

The Redbacks will win back to back Sheffield Shields before I tip 9 out of 9 in the AFL.

 

[sobrave]

West coast are about as bad as any team has ever been, ever. They won a flag not all that long ago, then decided to just give up in 2020 with covid. Weird.

 

[JimmyBC]

Why did I back Hawthorn ugh

 

[Steve Dore]

Tomorrow hopefully

See the Bombers fly up, up

Hawthorn only fire a shot if they're underdogs

Hawkins literally giving up goals to try and give one to the debutant!!

They took the piss.

 

[Hammer#8]

Bloody hell, Hawks are a nightmare to tip.

Tip Gold Coast in night games at home (I know this is Darwin but same thing).
