Round 1 Finals - the PRE hangdog games.
- Thread starter Redford
- Start date
Sydney kicked the ball unbelievably well.
Florent to Parker was unbelievably good.
Did you see the way we tried to close down the game when we were 3 points up?
It was comical.
We tried to keep the ball in congestion bit the ball was still getting out.
We missed soooo many opportunities going inside 50. Rioli 2 times, Short, Baker
We need to get better kicks
Could the Dees be the shortest lived dynasty since Carlton Rd1-3 this year?
Swans may have had a leg up with free academy picks but they are less hateable than the other finalists, perhaps Freo aside. And Papley aside.
Today's Cats Pies game is a nightmare for Richmond neutrals. Always want the Cats to lose but that would effectively creates a Melbourne Collingwood Prelim.

last night was a bad result for Geelong
win and they gotta get through Melbourne at the MCG in a PF
lose and have to fend off dogs / freo before facing sydney at the SCG ... before facing Melbourne in the GF
sydney winning made the series that much more delicious IMO

But at least they'll get to whinge about the pre-finals bye costing them a certain flag, so they have something to look forward to.
If Geelong lose at any stage of this campaign they’ll try to reintroduce the Argus system.
This is the difference between their pressure game & ours of yesteryear.
They have the disposal skills to complement the pressure which the game's current incarnation requires.
Interesting point BT raised. Sydney have a lot of left footers in their team.
Same drafting decision Hawks made when rebuilding their list when Clarko started coaching
My little fella is just in the first years of playing sport. Has done a bit of little tackers tennis, soccer, little aths and basketball. Haven’t actually taken him to Auskick. Just playing muck around with each other is his only exposure to Aussie Rules.
He is fairly right hand and right foot dominant (when playing soccer, tennis, writing etc), so I think he is a rightie. But for some reason the action of dropping a ball onto his boot to kick (like we do in footy) it feels awkward to him on his normal side. So prefers to drop it on the left. Perhaps I keep him doing that. Seems it’s generally quite an advantage.
In actual fact, in soccer he generally kicks with the right, but his left isn’t really any less powerful, and looks not really too much less natural. I don’t think he is genuinely ambidextrous. But there is some cross dominance there.

Maybe but if you break it down
We lost on Thursday night due to some of the worse kicking I've seen us produce in more then 5 yrs.
It was horrible
Nah all skinny fast pricks.
They play short, Mark, handball, bullet past for the recieve and hit up really really well.
We need runners.
Our best players if you notice this year have been the ones that continue to run out games, Rioli Flappers Pickett and Baker.
We need to get back our pick 19 off Geelong and get that kid Holmes to the club.
He is the prototype of the 2022 footballer.
Good mark, quick and runs all day
I can't believe we helped Geelong pick him up.
While we stare at Collier Dawkins & Dow
Same here. It's been my campaign all season. I'll back up the Paddle Pops to maybe win next week. SEN mentioned 4 or 5 injuries where Alan Richo cliches "they'll be right for next week"...but who really knows espeically risking Petracca hair-line fracture in the leg, and Harmes should get 1 week for high contact.
No team in the league more prone to believing their own press. Things aligned for them last year, but they’re back to being Egobourne now.
Apart from maybe the first month. Looked vulnerable all season. Played their premiership season in April. Certainly didn’t look world beaters after the initial surge.
