AFL 2018

I was at the game , good game considering the weather ,
Was fine all week then the rain came in yesterday afternoon ,
Clearing today , will be fine for tonight’s game
-
@kiwiinmelb never looked in doubt. Tigers forward pressure was superb. That period where the Hawks couldn’t get it inside their 50 was telling that they weren’t in with a show.
Tonight’s game I think will be the closest. Busy time in the precinct with the Storm at AAMI and Dees at the G.

I’m going to the storm game , not expecting too much from them this year , been consistent but not quite premiership material imo , but I’m in the wrong thread for that 😀
Yeah tiges were pretty good , work rate was suburb ,
Some good games in the afl this weekend , all 3 left will be fiercely contested .

Could one of these teams kick straight?
-
This game is a bit shit.
-
Two easy wins to start the finals.
Geelong were rubbish.
-
Yeeeeeessss Dees!!! Great opening quarter set the game up and from there it was attritional and poor kicking from both sides until we pulled away again late. I thought we were gonna shit our pants in Q3 and early in Q4 but there was a composure and resolve which bodes well for kicking on deeper into September. The commentators were all creaming themselves over our ability and style after the hooter. I'm getting closer to having to blow a wad on a trip.

Didnt see the game but looking at the score im guessing there was a fair bit of this going on
-
So we have Melb v Hawks on friday night , winner plays West Coast the following Saturday
Pies V GWS on Sat , winner plays the Tigers the following Friday night
-
And in further evidence the current trading laws only work one way, the 2nd worst team are likely to lose their 2 best players this summer, and both are going to go to top 4 sides. .
I've actually got the shits with the players now. They helped create the dumpster fire that is the Suns, and now they want to jump ship to somewhere easier. What fuckheads.
And as for the blokes who all want to move back to Melbourne because their missus misses her mum. Fuck off. Port should be furious at Polec, but he's not the only one.
Come on the Dees tonight!
-
Dees!
Me neighbor nearly went home when the Hawks got within 2 goals in the 4th. But they got there.
West Coast next week to keep the dream alive

I enjoy Melbournes style, they just seem hungry and into everything. Fuck the midfielders must be fit. How was that crowd too. See the stats for the crowd at the MCG vs the Panthers Cronulla game. AFL just seems to get good crowds. It is a fun game to watch live as there are often lots of goals to celebrate etc.

Taking off my tigers hat, It’s fair to say like Richmond last year and the dogs the year before, they have that similar momentum , once you have that self belief, it can be a powerful thing . They are a genuine chance now .
Putting my tigers hat back on , hoping the pies and the giants have an energy sapping game tonight and run each other off their feet .

Good to see the Demons get through last night, hope they make the final Saturday now and are a chance to beat what looks like a tiring eagles team next weekend, having done it a few weeks ago at the same venue (although not with the intensity and atmosphere of what is finals footy). Thought the dees were going to lose it after a couple of soft frees awarded against them late in the game but they held their composure and kicked a few late goals.

Alot of people are looking at that game as a guide , something that is getting overlooked a little ,
West Coast had no Kennedy, and Darling was knocked out in the first ten minutes , like any side that loses its two main targets up forward , becomes significantly weaker ,they have kicked about 80 goals between them this year.

Welcome aboard.
I think the Eagles will get a couple of players back, but momentum is a strange thing when it comes to finals.
Walking around Melbs this afternoon, rubbish weather, but plenty of black n white around (not AB jerseys).
Would looooooove the Giants to knock off the Pies.
