Round 21 Non MFC Games

[MT64 1,144]

Watching Adelaide V GWS and the crows kicked across the ground which the "nuff nuff's" commentating called the "fat side of the ground". Someone please help me understand this and while your at it, "a goalkeeper" WTF. Brayshaw one of the "nuff nuff's". I'm shaking my head in disbelief.

Fat side, has less players over there as all down the line, no idea where the term comes from

Fat side is the side of the ground with the most space to lead in to. For example, if you are on the right hand flank, then the left hand half of the forward 50 is the fat side. 

Been used as a term in footy for yonks.

How “good” is the “atmosphere” in Canberra?

Biggest crowd I have seen there. Must be warm. Haha

 

[Chook 15,022]

GWS have a totally undeserved "They're unbeatable" reputation about them. They are eminently beatable, especially when they're away.

Wouldn't surprise me if they are blasting a faux crowd blaring out of the speakers.

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,654]

GWS trail Crows at a home game, wow at half time, a top 8 team, they are certainties against us....

 

???

 

PS, if you think I am ridiculing you, I am

It does look like a decent crowd but not reals into it.

[bobby1554 1,261]

Collingwood have kicked 5 goals in a half at an indoor stadium. Flag contenders? I think not.

[dl4e 5,851]

Still think the lions may overcome the filth.

Living in canberra, in got invited to the game with a whole bunch of 'rugby' people. I happily declined, and am now sitting in front of the heater watching it on the TV, as opposed to freezing my ass off explaining the game

Yeah, really far fetched beating an average Sydney, WCE missing 2 or 3 best players and GWS at home.

Unbelievable how little it takes for so many to be satisfied....

by you theory, we are no chance in the finals, as we can’t beat top 8 teams.

I never said we can't beat any of the next 3 matches, I said it's laughable to expect wins against all 3 and the Eagles to choke against the Lions. Nice work completely misconstruing my entire point.

Play with yourself at the prospect of making the 8 mate, I am only interested in one result

Only person who seems to be playing with themselves is you, considering how high on your own opinion you are.

We'll see how chirpy you are if we lose tomorrow to those "average" Swans. Or to the Eagles, who are "suffering" so badly without those key players that they've won every game without them. ?

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,654]

Hey Saberfang, WCE vs Lions was irrelevant if Port won, get a clue

Mickey a number of years ago some mates and I did the drive up for a Tahs v Brumbies game. Few from Melbs and a few from Syd. 

Very funny weekend in a small, very cold town.

We are on the internet discussing men kicking around the skin of a dead animal filled with air.

We are all playing with ourselves.

The only fiddling you should be doing right now is with the ladder predictor. If Port had beaten WCE, then a win over SYD & WCE next week would have us 2nd with the win over GWS in r23 . No need for a Brisbane win.

Honestly, it's still a fairly small, very cold town. Great place to live if you're a not into big cities and don't mind the cold though.

Well the Lions are still in this and have had a red hot crack so far. Let's see how long they can hang in there.

Doesn’t matter how much you say it, it is too complicated for some

agree... when I first started watching I assumed it was at the Sydney showgrounds and I thought .. wow that is the biggest home and away crowd I have ever seen for the Giants. Took me a while to realise it was Manuka. The Canberra market will probably save the Giants and I expect is responsible for half their members.

As the great man once said.... "And well may he say God save the Giants because nothing will save the Gold Coast Suns !"

Tomorrow’s game arguably of similar importance as the last round last year.

We get three weeks to see who on the list can do it at the business end of the season.

Moment of truth for the club and our list.

and the Lions hit the front !!!

Could we get the impossible double tonight !????????
