AFL Game Day R21 2022

[jeemak]

Tagging works sometimes, but there's one player in and one player out and your system suffers due to the latter.

Eventually tagging will work again, but it will only work when the AFL realises that everything they're doing in terms of rule changes and adjustments to the game play into the systemisation of strategy/ tactics, and wind everything back. When they do that they'll also incentivise scoring through additional points given for high scores and teams/ coaches will start going back to man on man.

But that's a while away.

Carlton are so bad we actually still have a chance of replacing them.

One issue though, we have to win two games

They have Melbourne and Pies

They’ll lose both of those .

But he's such a gun defender. That's so crazy.

I've made a Markovic comment already re Kennedy but watching today's game I'm sure has Lukas rocking back and forth on his couch and crying.

We hardly deserve it, but Brisbane have whittled Carlton's percentage to only 1.8% ahead of ours and they won't have Cripps for the last 2 against Melbourne and Collingwood, both of whom are better than Carlton and will be desperate to retain the double-chance. They will lose both, which opens the door for us if we do what we should and win the last 2 (Hawks in Tassie will not be easy).

St Kilda won't win both their last 2 against Brisbane and Sydney, who will also be desperate for top 4 and home finals - if they do win both they frankly deserve to play finals.

You do know it's the hope that kills you yeah?

This!!

I'm actually underwhelmed by the possibility of making finals. We have consistently showed we are nowhere near the contenders this year.

Agree. Plus you can guarantee when we get pick 11 instead of 9 we will miss out on Charlie Curnow.

That's my secret. I never hope.

Yep. What’s the point-we are just making up the numbers. Of course we will all be hoping for a finals run but it is very very unlikely this time around.

Why didn't Cripps try to punch the ball?

Stick an arm out and fairly spoil the mark and his body would've ironed out Ah Chee anyway.

It really shits me when players decide to injure the opposition.

And don't give me that "spilt second" crap. Jarrod Harbrow had a split second when he killed Lewis and he did it spoiling the ball.

I hope Cripps gets six weeks, but it won't happen.
