Re: Round 18 - Other Matches

Noticed a former Bulldog who had a fleeting moment a few weeks ago is again out of Sydney's team!

Not a hell of a lot of pressure in the game to be honest.

Agreed. The Hawks cut poor teams to ribbons with their foot skill, and tonight they had ample time and space to hit targets with ease. It's a different ball game in September though.

We played well against the Hawks for two quarters to be within 15 points, then they smashed us in the second half. No one else has been near them since.

I think Bill Brownless mentioned on AFL Live Regional Radio tonight that their percentage since being rolled by Richmond has been something like 230% over seven weeks. Just phenomenal. A sleeping giant was awoken that afternoon.

Geelong finishing strongly Adelaide.
They're booing Scott Thompson for an accidental clash with Stevie J.
The cats are the dangerous floater of the bottom 8.
Norf creaming the lamentable Dees. Watched a quarter and the Dees really gave a yelp for about 5 minutes. All on the back of Nathan Jones.

Re: Round 18 - Other Matches

For a player I didn't rate 2 years ago, Tom Hawkins has improved exponentially. He has become a fantastic physical presence across half forward, very Jonathan Brown-esque.

That was a weird one. My first thought was that he'd lined him up Brodie Holland style, but when I saw it in slow mo it looked as if they both just seemed to appear from behind the rucks at the same time. I'm sure Thompson didn't make any great efforts to keep himself from popping him, but I don't think he lined him up either.

Probably one of the last guys you'd want to hit you too. He's a tank.

Easy for me as I'm in no comp, but when was the last time Geelong lost at home?

Re: Round 18 - Other Matches

Sydney last year. Richmond almost beat them earlier this year.

I am really enjoying not having Bruce in the commentary box.

You'd think it would make the coverage better, wouldn't you?

Tipped Geelong. Good tip.

Re: Round 18 - Other Matches

Looks like its going to be a close finish between the Blues and Tigers. If the Tigers lose this one then I don't think they'll make the finals.
