Other Games Rnd 20 ... If you give a stuff

[DavidSSS]

Didn't watch it but apparently it was an uncontested borefest. 262 marks...

On track to be comfortably the lowest-scoring Round 20 ever. Couple of Marvel games might be enough to rescue it from notoriety.

Borefest indeed.

268 marks from what I can see, given the average for 2021 is 190 per game that is stunning. Geez, talk about chip, mark, stand ad nauseum. Probably a good thing there was no crowd there, they might have been asleep in the stands.

Edit, sorry, I got the wrong game, it was Collingwood v West Coast which was 268 marks, Geelong v North was 262.

Wow, this will make for exciting games and Dusty moments because we all know Dusty likes to chip and mark

Regardless of what happens there will be no Dusty.

Article on Jake King in the paper where Jake says not to rule Dusty out if Richmond makes the finals. Not sure if that’s based on something he’s heard or it’s just Jake speculating.

I just read that article (link below), id say it's more wishful thinking as from what we have read already dusty cannot have any body contact for 3 months. So likely will start preseason training a little later than the rest.

Simpson has to be on really thin ice. Very average game day coach.
Spent all yesterday with his face in his hands.
The only thing saving himself is his contracted to 24 and with all the cuts to the footy departments.
They might need to hold onto him for 1 more year.

Anyone listen to the dud Huggins yesterday? Arrogant *smile*.

 

[MD Jazz]

Richmond and WestCoast haven't been the same since they played each other

No, this is standard WC out of their comfort zone. Since Covid arrived they are the most mentally soft side I can recall. They have the talent but not the will. It’s amazing they won the 2018 flag.

Jake’s probably punched a few kidneys in his time, might have the recovery time down pat.

Ratonmygear 6 disposals
5 kicks 1 handball 2 marks.
0.1
That's Chol quality.
Massive dud, we seem to make duds look like Wayne Carey sometimes

Pretty sure the Ratty Golly only had 6 kicks against us as well, *smile* only kicked four goals.

Yep take away the Tiger game Rat has kicked 9 goals from 23 games over the last 2 years. Then goes and kicks 4. Has had less than 10 disposals in every of his last 6 games averaging 7.5. Not quite Cox level but close.

West Coast Eagles The Flat Track Bullies at their best Yesterday

 

[TigerFurious]

Like us, West Coast have been hit hard by the rule changes.

West Coast rely on forcing their opponents to kick high and long when going inside 50m. These kicks were then picked off by the likes of McGovern, Barrass, Hurn etc. they would then counter attack with precision kicking into a forward line stacked with tall talent.

Now, possession heavy sides like Geelong, Sydney and yesterday, Collingwood have been able to open them up in a big, big way. They do this by using the stand rule to short kick into their forward line and avoid The like of McGovern, Barrass who are then caught out guarding space instead of an opponent. Combine that with an underperforming midfield and they are currently on track to be the only finalist ever to have been belted by 90+ points twice in a season.

Not surprised after watching the Amazon doco.
Ordinary coach.

Agree. Didn’t he sound bland and boring. Geez.

 

[TigerForce]

C'mon Huns.

 

[QRtiger]

Suns are just hopeless.

 

[TigerForce]

Why is the season still going? Most matches look like training runs and some teams don't give a stuff with lack of crowd which is the major part of having a 'real' game. Might as well cut the season short and play finals now as other leagues have done.

 

[eddazol]

Suns scored 1 point in the last 2 qtrs.

 

[mexican_radio]

Suns are just hopeless.

And yet they produce the game of their lives vs us. How does this happen?

 

[CarnTheTiges]

And yet they produce the game of their lives vs us. How does this happen?

Because we’re the reigning Premiers and everyone lifts when they play the best.

Sydney need to pull their fingers out agains tthe Bombers.
