AFL Toast R17: Tamed the Lions at the Gabba!

[Dave]

How many players did the Lions have out? I missed that...

Eleventy ten.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Painful to watch for the most part, but I'll take the win anyway (I lived in Brisbane during their dynasty years and it was unbearable).

not doing this cost us the game just about in round three and then he justified his decision
i guess we should be thankful he is willing to change

I found this taxing to read

If Joe could kick like 2 mt pete he'd be on 2 mil a year.
How lucky are we.
I wish I was 2mt petes manager.

BL Expected Score: 82.1 vs Actual 90 (+7.9)
ESS Expected Score: 106.6 vs Actual 100 (-6.6)

Probably reflects what my gut was, we were a bit wasteful early but overall not terrible in front of goals.
Brisbane were about par with 1-2 goals as outliers

Most unlikely goals were:

1. Lincoln McCarthy shot from the pocket 25m out towards the end of the third: 22.6% (Top left green circle)
2. Carter Michael's shot from the pocket 40m out in the 4th: 24.4% (Bottom left green circle)
3. Mitch Robinson shot from 35m out at the end of the third: 26.4% (Small green circleunder the cluster of big green squares in the middle of the 50)

That is some very sexy spatial statistics.

I'd love to see it go one step forward with kick inside 50 including location, open team mates, leading options and one on ones ahead.

 

[The Dustbin]

Bris had a few key outs, but from centre clearances Ess scored 40 points against Neale/Lyons/McCluggage. Caldwell was sensational.

Hey owen87 off to the main board?

Was busy, it'll amuse my Monday now

 

[raskolnikov]

What a day considering I hadn't planned on going until Saturday morning. My first live game since covid. I also caught up with 2 mates who I hadn't seen since pre covid who flew up for the game. We went to a pub beforehand to a function for the Queensland Bombers group and heard Mark Harvey and Fletch talk. Sat at the game with a large pro-Essendon group with the cheer squad and the Queensland Bombers group and we made a lot of noise. After the game went back to the pub with my mates for a few drinks before they flew back to Melbourne. Good times!

 

[astrowizzle]

Watching that was painful.
So many times we should have kicked away and buried then but we left then there with a chance
Suck s**t daniher , poor man's Peter weight. At least Brisbane can say they fixed him physically, which we did. But they can't say they turned him into a footballer which he isn't.

I'm not a Kelly fan but if he brings that intensity every week it won't get long until I am one

Langford was awesome
Pretty good team performance as ugly as it was

Gets another go this week on Rankine. I reckon Dodo has said to Izaak, "If you can beat Kelly, you're in."

Spot on - a good side would have buried them - but we are not a good side; we are a work in progress.
Happy with Caldwell. What a game. - Shiel's first half was epic, Litre is an absolute ripper, Zerk was good again and Laverde put old mate to sleep.
Take it and move on.
Ball use is a real issue at times.

Yeah WTF was this? At the time I was thinking surely this is not a Heil Hitler thing?

Another angle made it look a little better than that angle from memory.

I highly doubt it. Just looks clumsy.

Yeah that’s kinda what I’m alluding to…that I don’t think it was but it certainly looks like it and I don’t know what else it would be?

...and pointing to the sky, so maybe a dead friend/family member...that would make a lot of sense.

I think he's pointing into the grand stand, but either way, makes sense.
