Gawndy the Great

Even tonight he said that the Pies and Dees are the two favs. I don’t know you can so easily cast out Port.

I missed out today unfortunately but what was the balance of supporters? It felt like we were there with some numbers as the noise from the Pies supporters wasn’t as loud as I thought it would be on tv.

Seriously how is he even running given he almost lost his leg and was discharged from hospital over the weekend? I was hearing that Geelong was even potentially even in doubt at one stage. Also @WalkingCivilWar what was the secret thing the guys were training? The only really difference I noticed was the high press on the ball carrier. There was a bit more corridor usage today but nothing anomalous.

Was just a stinger - he mentioned it in the post game interview.

Not wanting to take the polish off but Kozzy is really going through arguably career worst from. He is lost at sea and Goody really needs to sort it out. Not sure whether it’s droppable territory yet, but he is not performing to anywhere close to his best. Two very gettable set shots are telling he is down on confidence otherwise he is one of the more reliable set shots. Every player has em but he has been off since he got suspended and nothing to indicate he is shaking it off.

Yes they were clearly off their game from a running perspective. I don’t think it was that significant though as we really clamped them down given our defensive structure and forward half pressure.

I agree, he and JVR need to be a lock and allowed to settle. Petty goes down back or we send the resting back man to go behind the ball.

No one takes a break and meets at Goschs for goal kicking practise everyday until their collective hammies fall of the bone (figuratively)

If they win this. …. FMD.

Cheats

I can’t watch this [censored]

Yea agreed. They missed a couple soft ones both ways. Hope they don’t ruin it in the 4th.

Are the Pies out of gas or saving themselves for a 4th quarter blitz? Those easy misses are really really hurting us now. Need a huge 4th quarter from everyone - leave nothing in the tank.

Prediction- out on the full.

I sense a goalless quarter.

Brayshaw murdering it.

Our kicking really letting us down.

Glad to see the all the optimism - I wish I could share this. Reality is this is going to be a tough game to win - we have been in really poor form for the last month or two and thinking it’ll just change is a bit of wishful thinking. On the positive side, the Pies are starting to come off their phenomenal form, starting to look tired, have some illness sweeping through their club and have had a few soft kills in the past few games. Its going to be less than a goal.

It truly is becoming a blight. Especially when it is so lob sided and inconsistent. I really hope it doesn’t feature tomorrow - but you know it will.

Bombers have played 1.5 decent quarters and just didn’t miss the goals. Blues have outplayed them for longer but are just a mess forward half.

I hope the boys are watching this game - umps paying anything in the back.

So if you dump a player in the tackle, 2+ weeks suspension. If you hold them and bring them to ground safely, you get pinged for holding the man.

No way could we afford him. Plus we also have a better version in Oliver. Id love to get an outside midfielder or half backer that can compliment Salem. I’d look to throw Boewy in the HF.

The late teams we’re probably due to a number of Pies players waiting for negative COVID tests. They are not held back for normal illness. I would be amazed if they can play out a full game. We should walk all over them in the 2nd half.

A big fat juicy one at that.
