Round 12 - the Datsun 120Y games.

[artball]

GinnaGIRL wow 4 times tackled, as soon as he feels contact goes to the ground. Two were probably there but umps waking up to this cheating flog looking for high contact. The girl appeals from the ground for a free, one-trick pony, searching for a free.

apparently McCrae will be "seeking clarification" ...

 

[St Kevin]

Freo remind me of Richmond 2017-2020 in terms of play style.

 

[Scoop]

Thought the Pies and Hawks was the best game of the year.

The last 10 minutes was contest after contest. Intense.

Oliver Henry is the real deal. Reminds me of Charlie Curnow.

 

[casper68]

Hipwood needs a bigger mouthguard.

 

[bigwow]

I agree with your point here on Ginnivan.

But, I have to say, I've watched a fair bit of AFLW and there is nothing gendered about the way he ducks for frees.

DS

Yeah, most of the AFLW girls are much harder than Ginnivan, he's flattered by any comparison.

 

[Redford]

True. Umpires did well in not paying the acted frees. He does look like a girl, especially those loose shorts which look like a mini-skirt.

Between him, Papley and Weightman there’s a lot to dislike amongst small forwards right now.

 

[AstuteTiger]

True Tigers do have a good home ground run from here . Could have a pretty good idea by next Thursday if we lose to Port. It's a must win but Port are going well now, won 5 of their last 6 and lost Carlton by 4 and Lions by 11 earlier in the season. If we lose there'll be 4, likely 5 and up to 6 teams at least 3 games ahead of us and depending on that 2 or 3 at least 2 games ahead and our percentage currently 8th best. 6th to 8rh realistically looks the best for us now imo.

I reckon we'll beat port, especially on the G where we have been playing quite well. Our run and spread imo will be too much for them. Their strength is contested ball, we must match them or beat them in contested ball and we'll win.

 

[Redford]

Lions aren’t done yet….

 

[Redford]

They might be now….

 

[zgod]

I am. They’ll drop out of the top 4.
Team looks soft and lack pressure.

Agree.
Flaky.

 

[22nd Man]

Don’t think it rained 43mm for the 2 hours of the game did it ? Looked pretty dry under cover, in the empty stands.

I didn't se any vision. Just thought the heavy rain miGht be an issue. And WC are no good ... rule of thumb is that the better your opponent the more people want to go and watch.

I watched the game. Bit of rain…off and on. Nothing major. Most of the small crowd seemed to be sitting in the open.

Conversely an easy win for Adelaide should have brought more of them out than the paltry 22,000 that attended. That’s a terrible crowd no matter what.

What, you saw a bit of the third qtr?

 

[Tigerfan]

Ok
We are next up
Thursday

 

[AstuteTiger]

His career will end quickly if he keeps this up.

Same for Weightman the campaigner at the Dogs and Cryin Gryan they are all at it.

100% spot on! It's cringeworthy. Weightman, auditioning for superman and GinnaGIRL graduated from Selwood's school

DS

It's his features, girlie and his skirt, sorry loose shorts

 

[eddazol]

Richmond should be seeking clarification from the AFL and the umpires every week.

 

[zgod]

Get our *smile* together and we win this.

 

[craig]

Hipwood needs a bigger mouthguard.

And a pair of shoulder pads! Lads got shoulders like a Brown Snake.

 

[backpocketplumber]

Shoulders like a brown snake….hah hah
