It's the game day thread. What did you expect?
Didn't hear or see 1 second of the game so went to read some of the game day thread.
Wow! What a bunch of sooks.
Don't want us playing finals huh? Well ok, book your holidays and piss off from posting on the board. What's the point?
Unbelievable.
I was surprised when I saw the scores. But shit happens.
I actually thought we were ok for most of the game and really just were hampered by conversion and some really dumb mistakes going forward.
On another day we could've easily been 40+ points up midway through the 3rd rather than 20 with the game as good as over and we probably run out 10 goal winners. Instead we didn't convert while they did and then lost our heads for 10 minutes to find ourselves behind. And even then we regained composure and dominated the last 25 minutes when we had to. By the end it would've been utter daylight robbery for the crows to win that after being smashed in contested ball, clearances, inside 50s and expected score.
The score looks bad but I think our performance was better than that.
I mostly agree with that.I actually thought we were ok for most of the game and really just were hampered by conversion and some really dumb mistakes going forward.

You’re absolutelyYep- he’s tackling very well and trying hard- maybe I’m seeing it wrongly.
I think there will be some adjustment to Mannagh coming in given he has taken a fair bit of the “at contest” stuff miers was doing. So miers is playing multiple roles including wing etc.Miers should be playing at half forward. ATM he’s out of position + unable to create goal assists. He was tackling well, recently.
Last night he was contained. I do acknowledge Miers was moved to strengthen our MF + did well at CBAs. Bruhn’s return saw him win CCs.
Not sure how Miers improves. But playing some kind of role?![]()
Agree. Teams are putting lots of work into him for that reason and shutting down his clear space. But when he gets it he is still doing good stuff.Ah well- wouldn’t have been in in my votes. He’s getting some touches but not making his usual effective use of them. Happy to see it differently but I think when he’s at his best he offers such a point of difference- and I’m missing that and I think the team is too.
Yep-sounds about right.Agree. Teams are putting lots of work into him for that reason and shutting down his clear space. But when he gets it he is still doing good stuff.
Watch him on bigger grounds coming up and I think he will improve.
You are obviously not capable of a rational conversation without becoming abusive and sarcastic if anything does not line up with your view, in future I will just ignore your posts.That is a crazy comparison.
AFL players get criticism and adulation (along with a large pay packet). There is an upside to balance out the downside. That is the lure to playing.
Umpires would only ever get criticism. There is no upside, only downside. Regardless of how much money they earn.
Yes, an increased salary would potentially give some incentive. But you have to be a special kind of narcissist to be happy getting abused every week and named and shamed in the media for any mistake, with no upside other than money.
Extra scrutiny for umpires will only lead to bad outcomes. Although I guess it might make you feel better so you can add to the pile on if an important decision goes against the cats. Whatever boils your potatoes I guess.
Abusive and sarcastic. Good oneYou are obviously not capable of a rational conversation without becoming abusive and sarcastic if anything does not line up with your view, in future I will just ignore your posts.
My sons 17th....Typical bloody gameday thread fake fans. Real fans are people like you who don't actually watch the games.![]()

Good thing is Vinum will disappear so this appearance of the site's resident pimple will be shortlived.
Nothing outlandish in what Baudolino expressed during the game.
I feel bad myself as I also commented on Cameron's infuriating conversion early, then he went on to kick 6 goals and I didn't really give him his proper acknowledgement."DrOp ThE bUnDlE"

Damn, I was really bringing my sophisticated, Lana-esque analytical A-game to the gameday thread yesterday, wasn't I? I hope everyone was taking notes. It's not every day you see the same person write two posts as insightful as "wtf was that" and "Tuohy sucks now" within such a short period of time.![]()
I reckon 'wtf was that' would've been the most repeated phrase amongst all of us watching yesterday.
He is good enough to have that sort influence not every week, but more regularly than he does.Jeremy Cameron 6
Sydney 5

The point being it can be a bit of a cauldron of negativity minus too much of the positive stuff and we are all guilty - I was yesterday more than I'd usually be. At times those threads can dip into the dark side too much. However, people including myself are free to avoid the emotions of a gameday thread if it becomes too annoying.
