Jaded No More

Big difference in quality between Lions and Dons don’t you agree? Pies defense is poor, especially without Moore, but their real issue is their midfield. It is not great, especially without Daicos.

Agreed. And they will need the win to prove to themselves that they’re still the team to beat. If they lose to Essendon it’ll be a disgrace.

So if you just heard Richo, he said no side in the last decade has lost more than 2 games between round 17 and 23 and went on to win the flag. This is the Pies third loss. AFL is all about being up at the right time given how long and grueling our game and season is. Pies have hit their worst form in August. Terrible timing.

Lucky for them they play Essendon. No chance.

So you think they aren’t trying two weeks out from finals? Rubbish. They have nothing in the tank. Not even the air of invisibility that they had a month back.

Pies don’t look fit. They’ve run out of legs again. Surely they’re not loading now A penny for your thoughts @binman

A hot head big mouth. They have no leadership if this is the best they can do without Moore.

Just how these two teams like it. They’ll be found out in finals if they don’t tighten up their defensive work all over the ground.

This game is on like Donkey Kong.

Statistically impossible

Honestly who cares? I think it’s crazy that in 2023 we still don’t have players who feel comfortable enough to be themselves. Sad that there are likely dozens of AFL players who are hiding their sexuality for fear of not being accepted.

I don’t think we want to play Gawn behind the ball until finals. We don’t want teams planning for it, or Max copping the endless physical hits until then either.

If Moore isn’t back in top shape in finals they are cooked. They are already a poor defensive side. Add to that their risky ball movement and they just cannot defend turnovers.

This game couldn’t be more different to our game last week versus Carlton.

Pies tanking? What the hell is this choice of sub?

I was hoping AMW would get a run purely because I love his pace. But I guess the FD don’t think he’s ready. Fascinating times ahead. A few players who need a big game on Sunday if they want any chance of playing finals.

Hibbo can’t be sub he wasn’t in the extended side. Smith will play permanent forward. Tommo goes back. Smith will have to remain forward the entire time as JVR will be second ruck.

Wow Laurie is left field two weeks out from finals. I was sure Spargo was a shoe in. Interesting to see what role he plays.

Adam Simpson is the least of the problems at West Coast Their list management and fitness and conditioning teams need to be thrown out. They need a complete overhaul of both.

They have plenty to play for. Their form has been very ordinary and they’d want to build it up again going into finals. You don’t want to crawl into September.

This season is a nightmare. At least I don’t have to barrack for Geelong ever again.

Clarry let’s his football do the talking. He’s a regular Shakespeare on the field.

Surely it’s to get some miles into his legs before finals. No way he gets dropped on performance. He was very good when he came on against Carlton. Hawks have a few talls so we need another tall down back this week. I reckon he plays next week on Papley.
