Was it Houston who refused to put his body behind the ball and let an opponent walk away with the ball? He then tried to make up for it by lifting his intensity for the next ten seconds.
He has not proven himself on the big stage as yet. Cannot recall him playing any match winning hand in a final? He is an elite athlete who can power run a whole game. He can get by himself, hence the goals from the square or streaking forward alone. Port got exposed on the turnover last night. You just cannot afford to not be goal side of him cause you won't catch him. He's been clever at the forward stoppages, loves getting on the move through/past a stoppage and they use him well. I can't stand him with his faux toughness and OTT celebrations but he's a bigger threat with the new rules.
Nor the new rules which suit them as much as anyone. Teams that love possessing the ball have a big advantage. Less pressure on the ball carrier increases your chances of hitting the next target. And there are more options for the ball carrier. I'm hoping finals intensity negates this somewhat. But it's no surprise seeing the uncontested kings like the Cats/Bulldogs doing well.
Was that the one in the last where Farrell got the free for the dangerous tackle and then kicked it slightly wide of the target? The Port player made no attempt to get in the path of the ball and Geelong got a goal from the subsequent turnover.
I would vehemently disagree with your mate on that score. The stupid INXS song shows how moronic they are. IMHO the most cringeworthy thing that happens at any AFL game throughout the season.
He is right.
Yeh, get a Cranbourne or Pakenham line train after an MCG match and you'll meet some interesting characters.
Front runners. Give them time and space and they'll cut you up. We play like we did against them earlier in the year and they'll star. Same with Rohan. We play the richmond way and they'll be ineffective.
Cheers Eee Zeee Baby, glad I wasnt the only one noticing seems the broadcasters did.
As feral as the Tiger hoards can undoubtedly be, not even the RFC would go so contrived to do an Uber Poor Mans Liverpool and Gerry and the Pacemakers with INXS. is contrived guff and drivel its actually embarrassing and makes the ol ROAR meter at the G look cool AF.
I don't get the association between Port and INXS. They're not even an SA band.
There is none that I'm aware of and the most laughable part is that the song doesn't even fit the brief or the narrative they've just grabbed at one line in a song to try and make it something that it aint.
There is none. It's just contrived *smile* to try and make themselves feel relevant.
