Geelong look slow and old. They've turned into turn over kings. Good to see.

Re: Round 22 Discussion

The era is officially over at Geelong.

Re: Round 22 Discussion

What to do if your Patrick Dangerfield?
Geelong's season finished last week, and they looked like a few of the old brigade know their fate

Re: Round 22 Discussion

Sedat - if you don't punt on games, you probably should. Had a good run of predictions and were certainly correct about the 'fire breathing pies'.

The era is officially over at Geelong.

Add Dangerfield, Scott Selwood, few top up players, can't see why they wouldn't make the 8 next year.
They have a huge advantage in this comp, called 'Skilled stadium'.

Re: Round 22 Discussion

I'll give you danger, but Selwood is average .
Even though the senior core have fallen off, when you lose that much experienced quality it's hard to regenerate quickly .
If I were a 25 year old I'd be choosing the dogs, the pies, and dare I say it the tiges as a destination club

Re: Round 22 Discussion

The final 8 is settled up 1st game into the second last round. Not great for the AFL and we are one of the main reasons for the squib ending to the home-and-away season. McLachlan will punish us by making us play our home final (should we get one) at the MCG, even if it is against an interstate side: http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-new...28-gja8wx.html

Voldemort has been subbed off with a knee. I was happy for his season to finish next week whilst ours went deep into the finals. Not sure I wanted his season to finish like this.

Re: Round 22 Discussion

Carlton tanking once more

[Bornadog]

Re: Round 22 Discussion

Not sure about that mate. To tank means you would be capable of winning but choosing ways and means to not win. I don't think Carlton are capable.

True

Re: Round 22 Discussion

Keep missing tigers. Chappy to snag 2 or 3 in the last half.

Re: Round 22 Discussion

It's beautiful to watch. Even if Rich win, they're blowing their chance to put % on us here.

We'll surely beat Bris by plenty more than they beat Roos next week, so as long as this remains close, I reckon we've got them.

Every Ess goal is a little win for us, as is every Rich miss.

Re: Round 22 Discussion

Cmon Essendon hang in there for 20 more minutes.

Just no blowout.

Re: Round 22 Discussion

Good lord anyone hear The Paul Roos presser?
Reckons the dees didn't take their chances ! Freo Kicked the first ten!
Pleased with the second half when Freo were in neutral !
Reckons they made a decent start!Well if that's a decent start I'd fear a bad one .
This bloke is officially the biggest spin merchant I've ever heard
