@barbarian said in AFL 2020:
The half-forward line is where the head scratchers are. Charlie Dixon is a genuine full forward, and picking Danger and Bont there is a bit odd given neither can hit the side of a barn in front of goal.
But you can't have an AA without Bont and Danger...
-
Would’ve actually made more sense selecting Danger as ruck rover and Petracca as half forward
-
Be interesting if Rules was an international sport , and you had an important test series or WC to play ,
What the team would look like ,
Im guessing more emphasis on who stands up in big games
-
@kiwiinmelb @shark guys like Selwood, Pendlebury and a few experienced heads would probably be first names on there.
-
finals kick off tonight with a cracker. Port v Geelong should be huge. Can Geelong actually turn up this finals series? Are Port as good when finals pressure comes on?
Tigers v Brisbane tomorrow. Lions trying to win that fixture for the first time in a million years. I can't see it happening.
Then the eliminations on the weekend. Saints v Bulldogs should be close as fuck. Weagles v Collingwood you would expect to go West Coast's way.
-
Week 1 predictions
Port v Geelong
Lions v Tigers
Saints v Dogs
Eagles v Pies -
Doubt that would pay much

Only two favourites in my picks according to Sportsbet
-
I'm actually surprised the Dogs are favourites
-
Here come the Cats.
I’m no Cats fan and I can’t stand Brad Scott as a coach, but hearing a booing and disgruntled home Adelaide crowd is music to the ears.
-
Geelong looking good at times, finishing 3rd or 4th, and then imploding in the finals. Set your clock by it
Dangerfield is such a soft downhill skier. If he wasn't quick he'd be in reserve grade. And the commentators pull him off constantly
It's almost football heresy, but if the Cats are serious, G Ablett doesn't play again this year. Father time gets even the very best.
Good win by Port. They are a bloody good side. Their prelim in Adelaide means they can start looking at accommodation in Brisbane for GF weekend
-
Brissy trying to hold on with 6 minutes to go.
Bolton almost kicked the goal of the season. Just grazed the padding.
-
LIONS!!!!
I can't remember the last time I was that invested in a game. My kids heard some colourful phrases.
I thought we fucked it with those two misses at the end of the 3rd. Then the 4th was a shitfight. But we won, and we're in a prelim!!
A word on the Ch7 Richmond cheer squad. It was apparent there was only one team out there. And only one result. Listening to them after Mccluggage's goal was pretty funny.
Yew!

I thought Brisbane played fantastic footy. Their game suited the ground and the ball bounced their way, went to hand and it looked the best they can play.
Richmond will be better without Chol taking up space in the forward line.

Speaking of the ground, from my armchair there appeared to be an extraordinary number of guys slipping over. Humidity or surface?

Brisbane played well ,
Think we might be looking at a port v brisbane GF

Is that you Bruce?
Talk about praise through gritted teeth.

Sorry I'm not effusive enough in praising your team of gods descended from the heavens to demonstrate how the game can be played. How dare my team have the effrontery to even take the field.
