Re: AFL Round 5, 2017 Discussion

I think we can beat both Melbourne or Richmond teams but they're both playing well.

The AFL would be very pleased with a crowd of 85,000 and the Tiger supporters certainly come out when the team is winning games.

Does anyone actually have any interest in today's game Pies v Bombers?

A slight interest but I doubt I will watch it.

Ditto.
I've actually only seen these two play once or twice on this day since it came into being.

One of the big keys to a big crowd at the MCG is the MCC Members turning out. Sometimes the ground can be packed, but the Members area is a bit light on. That doesn't tend to happen when Melbourne are going well.

Richmond have done phenomenally well to hold onto their supporter base despite their tribulations over the past 35 years. Although many of them have placed footy as a squarely secondary hobby over the past three decades, there's a hell of a lot of them out in that SE corridor of Melbourne!

I'm always interested in Essendon being beaten. I wish I could flick my brain across from antipathy to aloofness mode for them - as I realise that by hating them, I am, by definition, consuming their product and probably indirectly helping them - but I just can't.

Their supporters are collectively the worst in the comp by some distance.

None. Haven't watched it in years, won't start today.

I'm taking clients to the EFC Chairman's Lunch at the G. Never been to one so it's a box ticked I suppose.

I went to the game last night and it was diabolical, the skill errors on both teams were abysmal. Both had efficiencies in the 60's

If either of those teams served that up against us we would smash them, that i have no fear at all of.

Melbourne have (apart form Hogan) virtually no KPP and thier rucks are offiically decimated.

As for Hogan, people were all over stringer last year when he was down on form (we know why) but seriously Hogan was 500% worse than stringer, he was always behind, looking for a cheapie, didnt really run and for all intensive purposes looked rubbish. Given his amazing talent its a shame. - is he going to leave at the end of the year?

As for the tigers, they really rely on three players, Rance, martin and Reiwoldt, if any of those 3 have a dirty night they wont win. Ive got no doubt that we can cover them.

First game back from suspension so i'll give him this week as a week to get back into it but as said earlier pretty much all young KPF are doing terribly this year

Richmond are entering the "men's dept" the next fortnight.

Re: AFL Round 5, 2017 Discussion

We complain about some of our players and their yips with set shots. C7 just showed a graphic that said at 3/4 time from 11 set shots Collingwood have kicked 1.8!

Re: AFL Round 5, 2017 Discussion

I like Anzac Day game , you know one will lose, the way Collingwood is going , not just the seniors but the reserves to , shows Buckleys game isn't any good.
They have a lot of talent in the seconds but they are playing terrible too .
Watch the pressure start to mount now.

Re: AFL Round 5, 2017 Discussion

Every Collingwood goal is a grind, and the connection between mids and forwards is hopeless .
Buckley' s had plenty of time to build this list, yet there are holes everywhere .There's no injury excuse now as well.
His coaching must be held to account as their high defensive line got cut open constantly . Stack of bomber goals kicked over the top

Re: AFL Round 5, 2017 Discussion

Went along today and it was an OK game from a neutral perspective. Daniher has some pretty good wheels for a big fella.

We should have no trouble accounting for either side.
