AFL Game Day R5

[jeemak]

So how amazing are Carlton and their strategies and willingness to win now after giving away a lead and letting three get kicked with less than ten to go to lose the game?

There's too much emphasis on coaching and strategies, when in reality, it's mostly a ridiculously complex mess of 44 players going up against each other on a huge oval playing surface. A player one week will rise to the occasion, the next he won't, and a few instances of that happening makes the difference.

But I'm sure they trained it.

[jeemak]

Can you start talking up the Saints next week?

He's already said we're no chance of matching them tactically because Ross is a genius.

Did anyone watch the GWS v Saints game. Checked the score at 3/4 time and the Giants were up by around 30. I thought yes an easy win to the Giants and then I checked 20 mins later with 1 min to go it was a 1 point game. What happened ? Did the Giants just stop in their tracks or did the Saints play a free flowing attacking brand of footy?(not something normally associated with a Ross Lyon coached side).

And here I thought you weren’t paying attention.

You laugh but they've been practising Owies missing the sealer all week

[G-Mo77]

Wow! I honestly thought Richmond might be a surprise team this year. Losing to West Coast? Who does that?

[Hotdog60]

I picked Wet toast

[Grantysghost]

Reid is a star.

Norf really messed up losing the number 1 pick.

Probably academic, he will be at the Cats soon enough when Paddy D retires.

[ledge]

The score reviews every goal now , just get rid of the goal umpires it’s ridiculous.

[ledge]

Reid and Ginbey are a scary prospect.
I see light at the end of the tunnel for them

[mighty_west]

Harley Reid probably gets the rising star nod this week with 27 possies, 7 clearances and a goal.

[Sedat]

North winning the final round match last year and missing out on Harley Reid will go down in infamy

[chef]

Nice to see Harley killing it, lovely kid and lovely family.

Who looks silly now?

No need to self-narc.
