Port Adelaide are 1993 Essendon
Itās also interesting to note that the Dogs still donāt seem to have been able to fix their forwardline problems.
No they aināt.
They wonāt even get to a GF.
Dogs forward line worse than ours tonight. If they had just 1 competent forward they would be up by 4-5 goals. Port were battered in the first half and good sides will punish them
I hope Rutten is watching this game. He might learn something.
Weāll see.
Sides with half decent midfields that are prepared to run and spread will murder them.
The Saints and Lions exposed Ports soft underbelly and they will get carved up come finals
Dogs forward line not helped much by having a spud like Bruce as their main target.
Stop throwing the ball Footscray you fkn cheats
Thatās all Libba does is throw it.
Is it just me or is this a really bad game of football?
Just create a macro to post that.
Port, West Coast, Brisbane - going to be tough to beat these guys if the season remains played over in QLD, SA and WA.
The advantage of living amongst family in a normal environment will grow as the season continues i reckon.
Most games are these days.
Itād be far simpler (and involve way less posts) these days to post when thereās actually a good game of footballā¦
Agree. But I also agree the AFL should stop messing with the game.
I know thereās probably a more appropriate thread for it but I reckon weāve reached a point where we have to bring in a rule that mandates that 2 forwards must remain in your forward 50 and their corresponding 2 opponents (defenders) must also remain in their D50 with them as well.
You could probably only enforce it at every stoppage and hope that this is enough.
I donāt think we could or should ever have a hard netball-type zone where they canāt actually step over the 50m arc in general play which would be way too much.
That at least takes 4 players away from the press/congestion when the ball is hemmed in one third of the ground as so often happens. It also means there will be players leading up towards the ball carrier which the game is missing.
Iād try this first. If this has not enough of an impact Iād then keep this but also go down to 16 a side as well as the second layer.
Tigers v Lions tonight, that should be an interesting one to watch. Not sure who I think will win, maybe Lions?
Hard one to tip, I donāt rate Brisbane highly and would think Richmond should win but this season is just bizarre
why is there a question mark there? We canāt answer who you think will win
Who do you rate highly Aceman, seeing as you donāt rate the top 2 teams on the ladder?
