Toast Round 8 = Carlton 79-85 Collingwood

[Ctracks]

Yeah 100%. I don't think "punchable head" is too shocking. Bruzzy wears it as a badge of honour

Bruzzy looks like he would "punch" with his head aka headbutt, but he is a big teddy bear off the field.

 

[Doc1763]

And if the most senior mod on all of BF talks about how punchable Nick Daicos is?

Surely this would render BF rules hypocritical to enforce?

He hasn't looked at Owies' head?

I think the issue here is we need to differentiate between The Chief in his role as a moderator, whose role we have to respect, even if one privately disagrees with an action he may take as a moderator, and The Chief as a poster in which role he’s just one of the mob like us. In this thread, there’s been a few posts about Owies having a punchable head (totally understandable) and no-one has taken offence AFAIK. So no big deal at all.

This is an interesting read I reckon:

Footy Fix: Bad blunders, unsung heroes and THAT Nick Daicos moment - the 232-second story of another Pies-Blues classic

Sometimes after 120 minutes of blood, sweat, tears and momentum swings, our game makes it so that none of that really matters. With three…

Love it, cheers for sharing. I had a colleague (in QLD) ask me "does the AFL even have strategy or tactics? It looks like a bunch of ants fighting over a crumb". I love seeing breakdowns of moments like this that prove just how ignorant that view is. The positions around stoppages and even the subtle block by Checkers for the winning Naicos goal, these are easy to miss while watching live but the brilliance of our coaching staff is evident.

Can you ban Chief? Because that would be an absolute pisser after we just rolled Carlton

Unfortunately I already petitioned for this and was unsuccessful

Should Chief, he of unmatched wisdom be banned from bf?

Unprecedented I know, but hear me out friends... should Chief, he of unmatched wisdom be banned from bf? I realise that he owns the site and all, but that doesn't necessitate him posting here and interfering with our affairs. Can't he just sit back and count his clickbait millions in...

Owies is 100% the new Milne

Except without the talent
Or the physical toughness

Well, really he’s just got the annoying nature and a head you want to drop kick

Some games they do though.

If only Travis Cloke got the treatment Curnow gets.
Pies would have another couple of flags easy.

I remember contests Trav had 2 hanging off him and another coming over to spoil. Became a victim of his own strength and not complaining

 

[Pie eyed]

Doubt it but you can have the post deleted.

Anyway, can we get over this? We beat them by one goal in the final minutes, surely that is sweet enough.

"Sweet enough you say?"


We play them again in August and almost certainly could meet them in a final.
I would like a trifecta.

I take offence to posts that don't talk about punching Owies.

Piffle.

Owies is a clear 10 on the Standardised Player Punchability Index.
Daicos barely registers.
Ask anyone, he's in the low decimal points and then only among a select group of paper baggers.

If Cloke (or Cox) got even half the free kicks they should, they’d both have been Coleman medallists

Checkers too

This so is why I’d take McKay at Collingwood instead of Curnow. McKay would suit the way we play and is a better contested mark. He also doesn’t rely on frees like Curnow does. Curnow wouldn’t get all those frees at Collingwood.

 

[Big Bryza]

Righto which 9 of you voted Orazio Fantasia as having had a good game on their autopsy thread?

Me, he must have photos of Vossy.

They've got really ordinary flankers. They'll play Orazio, Martin, Williams, Motlop whenever fit - as those guys coming good or rediscovering their best footy is their only real chance this year.

McKay also kicks like a Collingwood full forward

He was a good converter until last year, but lost it completely last year.

Tigs have been amongst the worst on the free kick differential for several years now, it started during their peak when they started playing a brand of football that was always right on the edge of the rules (probably to make up for the lack of genuine A grade talent on their list). Unfortunately now they’ve lost a bunch of talent to age, that style of play seriously hurts them, hence their abysmal ladder position. Long may it continue.
