Mollison is diabolical

 

[n4sir]

So the same group that umpired the game in R23, except Fleer swapped for Meyer

Meyer is a decent umpire at least this time... the rest are still utter shit though.

 

[Viva la Mattner]

Meyer is a decent umpire at least this time... the rest are still utter shit though.

Meredith is probably one of the best

still hasn't told us how we should be supporting the team at the ground tomorrow night. C'mon Rory, we await your wisdom.

 

[Redleg Crow]

Just a bit nervous.

 

[n4sir]

Meredith is probably one of the best

 

[MRB37]

Mollison is diabolical

He was the one in the 1st half that just screwed us over at every chance he could get last time we played them.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

He was the one in the 1st half that just screwed us over at every chance he could get last time we played them.

Which meant we were guaranteed to get him this time.

 

[Moonwatcher]

A good exercise is to compare our five 'worst' players in our 23 this weekend to the 2017 GF.

For argument's sake and in no order -

Bond, Pedlar/Dowling (whoever gets named), Taylor, Berry, Smith

vs

Mackay, Atkins, Knight, Kelly, Otten

This stat alone tells me we should not only absolutely win this weekend but also make the Grand Final.

Knight and Kelly weren't bad players. I was hoping the difference would be much starker than that.

 

[footy4ever]

Just imagine if we win, another 2 weeks without footy, I can handle that reason though.

"If"?

'When' Froggy, When.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Are we up for this?

Will we be on from the first bounce, setting the tone?

Or will it be a fumbly start and we have to work our way back into it?

[pjcrows]

"Win at the G more often and it's a turning point"
"Beat Sydney it's a turning point"
"Get over Brisbane's mids and we've turned a corner"
"Beat the Dogs at Marvel and we're looking at being real"
"Beat Hawks and it's real"
"Just beat Pies and we'll be so confident to go all the way"

Did all those things, and still be like -

[Dirty Bird]

Hayden Mayer 2-0 (W - WB, HAW)
Simon Meredith 3-1 (W - SYD, PA, COLL, L - COLL)
Jacob Mollison 5-1 (W - GWS, PA, BRIS, GC, COLL, L - COLL)
Andrew stephens 1-1 (W - COLL, L - GC)

Predicted umpires?

...please no Williamson #22 for mine.

Do people not trust me

 

[Rotayjay]

Did you see us winning THAT game?

I felt the same way - that Collingwood would probably win, but could see us winning. I think the breaking of the hoodoo and the loss of Rankine cancel each other out.

 

[Rotayjay]

I gather the tix were all GA and not seated ??

From my understanding, yes, the additional release today was GA.

 

[cleanhands]

Why no Rohdan as goal umpire?

 

[pjcrows]

I gather the tix were all GA and not seated ??

There were seats too.

 

[Samcro24]

Why no Rohdan as goal umpire?

We probably got the one from the Sydney game

 

[Dirty Bird]

Meyer is a decent umpire at least this time... the rest are still utter shit though.

My honest opinion

My bottom 4 in no particular order are Mollison, Fleer, Deboy, Nicholls (Though, he has seemed to have improved the last few years).

I can tolerate Stevic as he's just Chamberlain without the flamboyancy. But I rate both.

But you can go through the rest of the list and I'd have no problem with them. It's overall quite good. I just find the average fan is ignorant.

 

[FR0GGY]

Why no Rohdan as goal umpire?

Too impartial?
