Round 17 Discussion

[Sedat]

How lucky are Essendon? The Crows have missed multiple sitters and have lost 2 players, including Johncock who was dominating.

I reckon the played the pants off Adelaide in the last 2 and a half qtrs, especially with their run and carry. Crows stopped as if they were shot - injuries didn't help but too much was left to too few.

Credit where it's due, they win their close ones. We utterly crumble pretty much anytime a game is there to be won late. Really makes a massive difference.

They almost threw it away against Geelong and beat two scrubber teams after falling a fair way behind. If we play the same type of footy as the Carlton game, we should account for them. Their forward line was horrible in the first half.

They dominated the second half which coincided with Adelaide losing Jaensch and Johncock. Adelaide should have stitched it up prior to half time with some simple misses. I hate Essendon but at least their downfall will be sweeter at the end of the year.

Kudos to the Brisbane Bombers( They might take legal action saying that)
Really the loss of Johncock was crucial,two less rotations were critical.
If we win our games we'll get there, simple!

I was shattered last night watching that game. Crows really did screw us again.

But with a new day, becomes a new challenge. If the Swans can beat Freo, and we beat the Kangaroo, we'll be in the 8.

I'm in a knockout comp where you can only tip each team as your certainty once.
I decided to bit the bullet and tip the Gold Coast as my certainy this week.
I very happy with my decision. The Tigers are back to their rabble best.

Also, the Suns are off the bottom of the ladder.

I'm buying a Tigers membership just to cut it in half

[GVGjr]

I honestly thought the Tigers might make some progress this year. They must be shattered by the loss.

If anyone is after some Saturday afternoon laughs, tune in to SEN.
They are not happy.

[Remi Moses]

No there apparently microwaving them now.
Tired of cutting them up, one bloke was sending a Polly waffle to the club!
Lock yourselves in folks there's going to be some feral outrage out there.
Kudos to GC though 6 goals down and getting up.
Pies had it over Carlton, thought the Blues were better than last week.
How in blazes did Stkilda let Luke Ball go, he was outstanding

Definitely did well but the breeze was a big advantage and reason why Richmond were up by so much after a quarter. What was it, two goals against the wind for the game.

[Doc26]

What a fantastic first year from their young ruckman, Zac Smith. He really is shouldering a heavy load as their primary ruck option. Standout for mine for the Rising Star award.

We have won plenty of close ones against shit teams.

[LostDoggy]

That was almost worth giving up Harbrow for!

[Sedat]

Saints result is doubly shocking because it keeps St Kilda well and truly in the hunt (they have a soft as shite draw) and it also makes West Coast a likely 5th place finisher, meaning 8th place will be travelling to Subi. The chasing pack really needs WC to sneak into 4th.

Melbourne also looking likely to win in Darwin to keep the pressure on for a finals berth.
