Non Lions Discussion 2024

How is that not 50 to Langford

Oh yeah, opponent.

Thought the same thing.

 

[McIvor]

Good on Bombers for getting that point unlike us against Carlton when we easily had the chance to get a draw.

Far out man, at this point I’m silently hoping we don’t win a game for the rest of the year specifically just to spite you.

I don’t think I’ve seen worse hand balling skill across a game than Essendon. God it was bad.

Imagine letting a game from two months ago live rent free

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Bombers lucky to get that, what a terrible quarter from them. Didn't handle the pressure at all

Dono what the odds would be of someone like Miochek shanking two routine kicks in a row out of bounds, only needing a point in either.

If I’m the bombers I’d take that result and run

That's your takeaway from that game? Any chance to pot our team I suppose.

Dear me. What would you be like if one of our players missed two clean chances at goal like Mihochek or Langford.

They don’t need me; at least I don’t have the rose coloured glasses on like many do.

B. Scott today at his press conference: "It's one of those frustrating (ones) – I've been pretty vocal, I don't know why we have a sub. I've got absolutely no idea."

He work at the AFL for a few years in charge of football operations, so it's surprising he doesn't know why the AFL has a sub.

marks overhead he holds the ball above his head. He should bring it down to his body/chest as soon as possible. Not doing so gives his opponent that extra split second to get a fist in.

Something to keep an eye on.

 

[BuntonRules]

Port have borrowed our game plan.

 

[Lace Out]

Ross should put up the green sign before the bounce in the first quarter

Appointment viewing 4:35 this arvo. 2 teams who are not only good they are also good to watch. Surprised I'm saying that about Carlton after they were pretty dour last year.

The 1:45 game will in contrast will be a good chance to iron my underwear.

I kinda hate playing on Thursday and Fridays because if we lose, which I suspect we do more often than not, I am way less interested. I’ve probably only ever felt this way in recent years. I mean years ago we never got those slots and if we did, we were so bad we’d lose anyway.

In some ways I’m looking forward to getting back to Saturday and Sunday time slots.

Watch our reserves while you're doing your ironing, 1.05pm bouncedown.

I would very much like to. But I simply cannot stomach the commentary

Nor can I stomach the likely prospect of us kicking something ridiculous like 8-27 again

[Harris Specter]

We are so far off these teams on current form it’s ridiculous.

No joy in watching our team at the moment at all, players are not caring or trying.

Early thoughts

Nearly everything in tight is going forward, particularly from Geelong. Knock ons, handballs, kicks, even when under pressure. It's so stark compared to the way we play. Doesn't matter that it's predictable: everyone is on the same page.

And both teams are looking to play FAST. Play on at every opportunity.

Also the protection Cameron got to fly in front of the pack for Geelong's 1st goal. There were a million players around the drop zone but the Geelong players all got in the road and left a clear path for Cameron to mark uncontested. We hardly ever do this.

Indeed, when Carlton do go backwards in congestion they sell their team mates into trouble consistently. Keeping an eye on this but the more I see it the more I question the merits of handballing backwards around contests.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Just like the Lions, Carlton kicking points against the Cats.

 

[HereIGoAgain]

Regardless of the result here, Scott and crew have reset Geelong beautifully to go again. They have given the rest of the comp the blueprint for regeneration. Again.
