Well, there goes the hopes of Collingwood winning a spoon

Doesn't look like the Saints will be taking that next step yet

Who do we think wins the spoon this year? As an Eagles supporter I'd say we're in with a pretty drat good shot.

We're definitely going to get more soft tissues with our old as gently caress list, compounded with all the outs to the midfield already. We'll get kerbstomped by the likes of the dogs/dees/cats

While warranted, Rowell isn't going to have a long career if he hospital runs into marking contests like that oft.

Can we stop this agenda to make it a night grand final? Pretty sure majority do not want this.

Diet Crack
Jan 15, 2001

Why though, you don't get to celebrate it afterwards? Personally it'd probably be on at a better time internationally for me, but I just don't see the need or desire to change it. Having it mid afternoon was always alright and I don't understand what the fuss is around "needing" to change it as opposed to suggesting it be changed.

ps. if we're changing things and doing twilight GFs, then interstate GFs should be on the card after last year. If it's two non-vic teams in the Grand Final then gently caress playing it in Melbourne.

I asked how much these people think that these former Collingwood players were getting 'paid' to stand up against systemic racism in the club.

Yet to receive a figure... ofcourse.

I have no faith in tipping either way on the Eagles/Swans, Saints/Suns, or Freo/Essendon games

Of the three I'd say the Saints are the most likely victors, Swans should win too. Bombers/Freo is anyone's guess.

Also Mason Cox is not the answer, Collingwood.

"lol lets just kick it around to find the best way to turn the ball over x100" - can't play contested footy and always have to try and force uncontested poo poo with long kicks. JUST RUN THE BALL FOR ONCE IN 3 SEASONS

Every single possession has been a clanger or turnover, it's been unwatchable on the Eagles side. Swans are playing good, but gently caress me we're giving them every opportunity.

I'm loving all the Freo fans trying to trash talk then immediately being reminded that they've won jack poo poo.

That said we're gonna need a rebuild after this year when Hurn and Kennedy retire. Trade Darling away I can't stand his bullshit anymore. Cripps is done. Yeo is becoming an expensive passenger.

This sport is broken - that Free to Hawkins was something else, then the 50 to top it off.

I'm surprised we even put up 20 so far.

Adam Simpson is surely gone soon, it's just the same lacklustre bullshit week in week out.

Diet Crack

It also makes me wonder how much of 2018 was down to Sam Mitchell - he's doing a job with the Hawks at the moment and a lot of the recounts of that season say that Sam was a big reason why we got to the Grannie in the first place being the mids coach. Ever since he left it's been an absolute clusterfuck and stinks of that 2015 grand final all over again where there is just no plan whatsoever. I think Simpson is (already or) starting to become the crux of the problem. It's not like the majority of this list can't play - we do have some old timers that will probably need to be traded (Yeo, seriously, 3 years of doing nothing and just constantly injured, then when on ground is average at best)

It's time to pull the plug and refresh the coaching box and list - rebuild time is now.

Diet Crack
Jan 15, 2001

The point is, even with senior players coming back in, like last week we had a pretty full list, they still play like absolute dogshit and you can see the crap that's been coached in - there's no run and carry, there's no quick movement - it's all based on Simmo's usual kick it long and try to mark on the boundary 1 size fits all gameplan. That's the problem here. I think he's lost the players too because they can see it doesn't loving work. Just by nature as well we're carrying a lot of olds which needs to be addressed anyway before it becomes a problem.

Richmond fans complaining about this being on a Friday while systematically ignoring the past 20 years of Richmond/Carlton on a Friday to start the season is a chefs kiss and a half.

Do you guys think Simmo has lost his players? Something doesn't add up as to why they're getting absolutely loving belted by 60+ even with the players we have.

Did WC have better players in against the Pies? The Pies are decent. Don't get how they lost.

Not really, we had less seniors and more juniors. This team today has more games played than the one that faced Collingwood, that's for sure. Collingwood also played a bunch of youths too:

The WC situation reminds me of Freo in 2010-2011. Played and won a final in 2010, then Chris Scott left as an assistant to Mark Harvey to go coach Geelong to a premiership, and Freo lost the last six games of the season by about 10 goals a game. Harvey nearly ended the careers of Pav and Johnson with awful player management, in a desperate attempt to keep them on the park when they just needed time to recover from injuries.

Replace Chris Scott with Sam Mitchell and Harvey with Simpson - I'm still certain he was the reason the midfield was great, even when it was missing Nic Nat.

It would be interesting to see how impacted they are by Covid long term though, if it's the reason why they look so uncompetitive.

Typical of AFL House.
