Diamond_Jim 12,773 Posted September 27, 2019 Author Posted September 27, 2019 Hard to believe that a club can be in the GF nine years after its inception and of course been in the finals for three years before. Out of interest who is credited with their now brilliant policy of draft young and trade. Looking at GCS and where they are you have to give it to them. West Coast won within seven years of entering the comp and Adelaide within six. Trying to see some positives from an MFC perspective but staring at the GC priority pick and their Darwin zone it's hard to see. Quote
Mel Bourne 4,541 Posted September 27, 2019 Posted September 27, 2019 Watching the captains/coaches press conference today, I’m struck by the vast chasm between theirs and ours when it comes to confidence, eloquence and overall intelligence. We’re not going to win a premiership until we have that kind of leadership. Right now, we are not even close. 1 Quote

dees189227 12,512 Posted September 27, 2019 Posted September 27, 2019 (edited) Well it will either be close or Richmond will blow gws out of the water. I know we have spoken of scully but I wonder how shiel feels today as well I just think how marlion feels today waking up. You think of the legends who never won a premiership. Lockett, ablett skilton and this guy could just waltz in win a flag in his 1st ever game and get life membership Edited September 27, 2019 by dees189227 1 Quote

rjay 25,424 Posted September 27, 2019 Posted September 27, 2019 There's a touch of arrogance with the Tiges bringing in Pickett for his first game. No matter what the party line the 2 boys who were pulled from a GF last week must be feeling it. They not only didn't get to play in the GF, they didn't get to audition for a spot in the big one. Must ruffle some feathers. If GWS have them covered at half time I think they (GWS) will run away with it. Richmond let teams get head starts and they have a belief in their ability to run them over. One day they are not going to come back. I hope it's this one... 4 Quote
Mental Demons 136 Posted September 27, 2019 Posted September 27, 2019 An interesting analysis. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-09-28/the-data-says-afl-grand-final-might-be-closer-than-you-think/11549510 Quote
3183 Dee 2,917 Posted September 27, 2019 Posted September 27, 2019 I think the Giants will win today. I used to hate their guts with a passion, as their inception and player drafting coincided with the time we needed it most. However, I now see a team that plays for each other and is passionate about the guernsey. They seem to have hit a sweet spot with the guys who have stuck with them on their list. 1 Quote

Dr. Gonzo 24,468 Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Will barracking the Giants home today and I actually think they will win. Certainly don't deserve to be $3.30 outsiders, closer to a 50/50 game I would've thought. 1 Quote

dees189227 12,512 Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 The gws memes that have been going around on social media have been quite good. Here in the g now there is a good spread of orange. Way more than you see at a home and away game Quote

Adam The God 30,734 Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 I'm doing what I did last year as I can't bare to watch it properly. I'll watch from three quarter time onwards if it's close. I expect Richmond to win easily. Urgh. Quote
