It’s interesting to see sides fall away from one game to the next. - Reid has been huge lately, massive loss - Swans pressure being nullified by Geelong accurate kicking and dominance in the air - Heeney hardly sighted, having a mare
-
Agree with all, especially Sydney. I know most teams are unbearable after a win, but in my experience, none worse than the smug Swans supporters this year - I had a couple of run-ins after our two losses, and I was just walking along minding my own business. (Maybe it was my big guns that provoked them and their insecurities...or not...)
-
Time to hold an independent inquiry into that. Super dodgy.
-
A few notes of thanks: (and a dig) - to the Dees supporters around us in N53 who got fired up in the second half when we were doing some big chants. (To the flogs who thought the Bears supporters were louder - total &$@! My ears and throat are feeling it this morning!) - to Petty, Brayshaw, ANB, Tracc, Oliver, Langers: you gave us some great moments and put in everything last night, I thought - to the Bears supporters generally: your captain is the joke of the competition, nobody likes him. It sucks, but let’s go again next year. I’ll be there.

Ok I take it back, Joe.

Is Daniher playing?

I’d like some discussion on why some teams “match up” well against other teams…Sydney and Collingwood have great records against us lately…how can this be? How could Norf beat us 20 times in a row? (Admittedly during the Great Deepression) How can we have the Lions’ measure? Surely the personnel shift too much year to year to be a true ‘match up’ thing. Does it speak more of the mental side of sport? (Which is huge) Binman often criticizes people ignoring loading in favour of ‘mental weakness’, but surely the mental side of things is quite a significant factor…is it game style match ups? Eg Lions play ultra attacking, we’re built for defense first - so the margins for error are smaller…
-
Yep - they had 4 or 5 relatively easy chances to ice the game in the last 15 minutes, and botched every single one of them. Just one of those goals would have killed the Pies' momentum, especially one of the later ones. Missing goals can be such a big thing. And, look at a couple of the goals that the Pies got in the final quarter: two on the boundary from a long way out.
-
We’ll be there. Bells on. And scarves and beanies and everything.
-
No dude. Just lie back and let the stillness wash over you.
-
They shanked it like we did in 2017. Feels bad, man.
-
Gotta say, Pies’ pressure is excellent. (As it was against us)
-
I’ve often thought this

😒

Tonight's the night when we flick the magic switch. Lions by 45.
-
Endeavor seems pretty good to me. But we’ve got problems. (All documented previously)
-
Jarlsberg? More like Comte

Bad kicking loses matches. Missing easy goals, especially set shots can be damaging on so many levels. kills momentum, esp with the 6/6/6 rule, where you can get on a run. Gives the possession back to the opposition (kick out), where they can control tempo for a bit. Hurts morale esp with multiple missed shots, and then the team has to get back on the horse doing lots of defensive running. going coast to coast for a 12 pt turnaround is even worse. Happened at least twice last night. Get the few easy ones, St Kilda wins that, no problem. Like us vs Collingwood.
-
I’ve never seen lamp as a verb - love it!
-
To be fair, Collingwood’s a poor man’s Collingwood.
-
Well I’m guessing it’s because Freo plays WC and GWS in final two rounds and would go ahead of us. Swans will probs win their 2, and may only need to win one if we lose one. I mean, the Pies may lose to the Blues in final round but it’s not looking like it

To be fair he didn’t give the finger, he waved his arm as if to say “turn it up!” Which was quite funny actually. But agree dog act to knee Max. I really wish our players had brought more heat in response to theirs.
-
Just saw the incident for the first time - he went at him full momentum not even thinking about the ball. If he appeals and gets less than 2 weeks I’m going to burn the MCG to the ground.

That was an epic chase - was traveling 3 times faster than the ball carrier
