AFL Game Day R6 2021

[Grantysghost]

GC doing us a favour against Swans. Sydney look flat as.

Geelong kicked 10.1 to WC 0.1 in the 2nd to blow that away. Cameron with 3 so far.

Something smells about this Eagles performance. Wonder about the want to get home.
They're as talented as you get and will lose by 100 which they've probably never done.
Clearly something's off as the Cats aren't a great side this season.
My colleagues in Perth were floored by the lockdown announcement. Many had important commitments and holidays planned for the long weekend.
This season is already compromised, last year was a pretend season let's hope this doesnt descend into the same.

I think Geelong are a bit better than they've shown though, and for whatever reason they've started the season poorly. WCE having lost McGovern early have been exposed by that and a lack of midfield firepower. KP is a difficult venue for anyone, let alone the Perth teams.

WC were never gonna kick a winning score missing Kennedy and Ryan.
Cameron back for Geel makes them dangerous. Geel are at their best when their mids are also contributing on the scoreboard. Duncan has 4 right now.
Hawkins and Cameron will give a lot of sides headaches. I still rate them. They’re always hard to beat down there.

Suns making our third quarter fade last week loot a little better.

Hmm yeah not sure about that. Their midfield is bang average. They play at that 30 metre widthless ground and only beat North by a bit.
Eagles were the anomaly for mine.
Get your point though

Easily beaten by Demons, barely scraped over Hawks. Their game plan is built for that bowling alley of a home ground. I'd very ultra confident facing them anywhere else, will be an arm wrestle when we play them down there.

Lachie Neale looks to have sustained a pretty serious ankle injury.
Edit : No he's running it out.

Eagles are a bit weird though. They got blitzed by the saints in all of 1 quarter. I think they may have some resilience problems.

Their fourth biggest loss ever though something smells.

Head to head next week in Perth they win by 10 goals.

Agree re the Saints game though they dominated for 3 /4s and went to sleep.

Booooooooooooooooooo!

Carlton are two wins and three losses which is fair enough, given they've lost to Port, Richmond and Collingwood, all sides I'd have expected them to lose against. You could make an argument they should have beaten Collingwood, but it's lineball.

I really don't get why Teague is supposedly under the pump.

I get the feeling this Brisbane game may answer your question.

Brissy are a bit banged up today but Carlton have turned it around.

I guess if I look at their list they've got average players on it and a number of new players that are trying to gel. Thus, I don't see how inconsistency should be pinned on the coach when they've beaten the teams they should and lost to the teams they should have as well.

The very simple answer is because that's footy. They aren't a young side and have been bang average for the last 6 or 7 years. Their list management has not been very good but that always falls on the coach when they've made some big moves.

2-4 and their next 3 games are Essendon, Bulldogs and Melbourne.

[Grantysghost]

Did we dodge massive bullets with Martin and Wingard? Neither have impressed me (I get Martin is injured).

Think the Blues are paying 2 mill for Martin, Saad and Williams.

We are in a great position list wise.

[comrade]

I think the Demons are actually doing quite well, their defence is elite and hold their shape so well. Stay so much deeper than our system, interesting contrast.
