[Eastdog]

Round 8 is a upon us and this is for discussion of all the other Round 8 games not involving us. It all starts tonight with the Grand Final replay between Collingwood and Geelong.

Should be a cracking game to open the round, I think Geelong might just get up though.

I tipped the Pies in this one by 11 points but it would not surprise me one bit if Geelong get up. They should not be written off yet.

No Scarlet is going to make it even more difficult.

Re: Round 8 - Other Matches

Would prefer if Geelong just fell over the line. With a week of questions about their premiership bona-fides, if they lose to Collingwood they would be red hot for us and would probably be too good. If they beat Collingwood though it would lift the pressure on them a bit and we'd be a better chance, one would think.

Or they could play themselves into form win or lose tonight. I dunno.. we're long odds either way.

Geelong despite them not being as strong as they used to be will still be a tough proposition next week. I think we are a chance against them but lets focus on beating Gold Coast first and go 4-4.

Re: Round 8 - Other Matches

Wow, is there a less courageous player in the AFL than Josh Hunt?

Not only does he plainly refuse to put his body on line when it's his time to go, but he has the audacity to carry on like a faux hardman when he has the chance to blind side someone. Just pathetic!

Re: Round 8 - Other Matches

Pendlebury was outstanding , gutsy win by the pies.
Cats, I reckon they just hung in there in the first half.
Selwood kep them in it, down to one rotation hurt The Pies.
Regardless of what happens tomorrow night, we'll be big outsiders next week.

Geelong - Last Quarter - 23 inside fifties for four goals 6. Geelong blew it.

Agree, but Collingwood looked the better side in the first half.In the end Selwood dragged them up and kept them in it in the first half. In the end Geelong could have won it

Definitely. Even though Collingwood got that 50 in the end to put them ahead Geelong had there chances and easily could of won.

Re: Round 8 - Other Matches

How many times did Geelong miss targets with hand and foot for the whole game?

[Eastdog]

Re: Round 8 - Other Matches

Do you think if we bring that pressure and intensity from the last few weeks against the Cats and say if they have a few key players out would we be a chance.

Re: Round 8 - Other Matches

Can someone please explain to me the point of a score referral system with completely inept camera positioning?

Tomahawks point/out of bounds referral in the third showed what a farce this system is. Fundamentally I like it but for god sake put the correct technology in place to support it you muppets!!!
