Re: AFL Game Day R3 - 2024
Anyone give the Pies a chance tonight? It is a long way back from 0-4.

It's a hard game to split so yeah the Pies in with a big chance from my perspective. Hard to win in Brisbane though.

I'm looking forward to watching. Think it will be close, but it is very hard to win up there, epsecially early in the season when it is still very warm. With Neale back, I think the Lions will get it done.

Brisbane have only lost a few games at the Gabba in their last 4 to 5 years. Collingwood 0-4 sounds good to me

It would be a good way to start the long weekend.

If Collingwood aren't 0-4 at the end of the game it is likely Brisbane is 0-3 which isn't a bad consolation. Only a draw prevents one of them being on zero points.
Have we ever seen the combined GF contestants start the next year 1-7 which it will be regardless of the winner.

Brisbane have been going like busteds in the midfield and Collingwood can circle the wagons on hostile roads trips with the best of them. If the Pies come with the right intent at the coalface I can see them beating Brisbane tonight.

Hope so. Look on Dunks face will make me smile. I'm not bitter, I just have a long memory.

Re: AFL Game Day R3 - 2024
I don't know if this is fair or not but I'm hoping for a draw tonight.
Just like the idea of the 2 GF teams from last year still not having a win.

I love when your evil side sneaks out!

Re: AFL Game Day R3 - 2024
I’ve gone Lions , they have a forward line.

Re: AFL Game Day R3 - 2024
Cracking game of footy. Lots of turnovers but good to watch.

Maynard v Rayner face off was classic.
Maynard is like a ten year bully old not getting his way at times.

Re: AFL Game Day R3 - 2024
Brisbane came back well that 2nd quarter and owned the footy in their fwd half.
Lipinski with 2 costly turnovers
How does Frampton get a game ?
Some bad fumbles by the pies . It will be an interesting 3rd quarter.
-
Re: AFL Game Day R3 - 2024
It's a good contest but shitty standard to be honest.
You can see why the Lions have so many midfielders and mid forward types because with the greasy conditions it really suits them.
-
Re: AFL Game Day R3 - 2024
Awesome kick from Hoskin Elliot to Elliot for that goal.
Dosh Junkley wouldn't have seen 0-3 as a possibility after the GF last year, but I'm glad he might because I'm cheap.

It's why you can't trust March and April form all the time and should stay away from the hysteria the media instigates over the first four to six rounds. So much water to go under the bridge.

Re: AFL Game Day R3 - 2024
The Vegas rumours at Brissie might be true. They don't seem to be playing for each other the way they were last year.

Elliott is wonderful player and so much so that the quiet start for Schultz this year hasn't stood out as much as it might have.

Re: AFL Game Day R3 - 2024
Dosh will be ok watching his foxtel with a quick traveller pie from Coles Express before settling in for the night on his free mattress.

Me too. Boo hoo Dunks.

Re: AFL Game Day R3 - 2024
Does Fagan come under some scrutiny? Premiership favourites 0-3. They will need a decent run on over the next few weeks.
-
Re: AFL Game Day R3 - 2024
Need to win 12 of 20 to make finals, probably 15 of 20 for top 4.

They'll just fail their way to the top, therefore the more they fail early the more...top they'll go... later

Re: AFL Game Day R3 - 2024
Collingwood have played 4 games and we have played 2

What rumours are you talking to almighty Mofra?

I've dreaded the day BAD could put the abacus together with player weight and height statistics. It was just a matter of time, but watch out......

Re: AFL Game Day R3 - 2024
If you want to practice gratitude, wake up tomorrow and be thankful that you don’t have to watch Eric Hipwood play for your football team.
We have minimum 4 key forwards less shit than him.

Given he's an accused racist and such an old school manly Dad figure I presume he'll be left alone by most media personnel.

He and Angry Ant met with the indigenous accusers this week in Melbourne. Not sure of the outcome.

He's got a terrific list at his disposal and one that is built around the conditions they play their home games under.
He should come under some additional scrutiny if they don't start getting a few wins.

Yes, Hipwood is poo.
They would've even been better off keeping Shache.

Re: AFL Game Day R3 - 2024
Picked that. A rare tip win for me in 2024.
-
Re: AFL Game Day R3 - 2024
Pendlebury a fine coming up.
Although it was deliberate and intentional.
Open hand low impact.
Personally I would give him a week or you might as well make it open slather to do it to the opposition best player at every stoppage.
-
Re: AFL Game Day R3 - 2024
The good news here is that both teams looked pretty awful. Turnover central.
Hopefully a bit of the aura is washed away and teams play them with an extra skip in their step.

Re: AFL Game Day R3 - 2024
You would have never been able to tell that was a Grand Final rematch without actually knowing it. Such a turnover heavy game and neither teamed looked threatening.

Brisbane should have belted them but the constant just bombing it in the second qtr came back to haunt them , they should have been about 6 goals up at half time.

They won almost every single stat except the scoreboard and free kicks. The Pies got 30 free kicks!!!!!! Lions had 20.
