Bump

[comrade]

Brisbane are now playing Collingwood at Marvel Stadium on Thursday night due to the lockdowns in QLD.

[josie]

Feel sorry for lions. How different states can have different mask & aircon rules for quarantine hotels is baffling-not that Qld have confirmed root causes but guessing a link to hotel quarantine and likely weaknesses in program.

they play us the following week in Ballarat, so do they stay or can they go and come back.

On the plus for them is they get the last 4 games of season at Gabba

Might help us. Then again their coach seems like a v good coach & father figure so I reckon they will be alright if they do stay in vic until Ballarat game.

If I was them, I would arrange to accomodate in Ballarat after Thursday's game and see if they could train at the ground?

[comrade]

Pies on top half way through the 2nd. Pressure has Brisbane rattled.

[bornadog]

Brisbane looking down the barrel; Lose this and then they play us and they could end up 0-4

[jeemak]

Oh no, Marcus Adams has just gone off with a small cut on the chin. That'll be him out for the next month or two.

[jeemak]

The commentators are telling me this is a great game of footy. But I don't know if it is, rather, it's been pretty hit and miss with intensity and skill with some good examples and poor examples of each.

They're certainly talking up the rule changes. Is anyone actually taking count of one on one contests versus previous year averages or are we just accepting there's more of them now?

[jeemak]

OK, it's looking like it's turned into a pretty good game. Or it's still close which is the next best thing.

Harris Andrews has his arm massacred then, but it was a good goal from Daicos. He's a gun and if his brother is who is supposed to be better comes along then they're going to be fun to watch.

[jeemak]

How good Brisbane! And how good for Bailey to get the goal he was robbed of last week!

Brisbane should have levelled earlier or put their noses in front earlier. Good outcome, good start to the weekend.

Unbelievable finish

Redemption

[Sedat]

LOL Pies. That was highway robbery. Brisbane were very poor but the Pies butchered their forward entries all night.

Nah, you just give anecdotal evidence of how much better the game looks and how much more scoring there is without any real analysis while neglecting to mention that the AFL CEO’s brother works on your network broadcasts.

Some of the footskills in that game were horrendous. Still Andrews, Mcluggage, Moore and Daicos are absolute class.

[merantau]

Great win and justice for Zac Bailey. Marcus Adams played well.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

Phew. I'd much rather face a 1-2 Brisbane on the back of an after the siren goal than an 0-3 Brisbane with their backs against the wall.

[bornadog]

Phew. I'd much rather face a 1-2 Brisbane on the back of an after the siren goal than an 0-3 Brisbane with their backs against the wall.

Me too

[Happy Days]

So who pays the slightest bit of attention to Neale and makes him totally disappear next week?

[The Underdog]

Phew. I'd much rather face a 1-2 Brisbane on the back of an after the siren goal than an 0-3 Brisbane with their backs against the wall.

It’ll be a tough game. Daniher and Hipwood could cause us some problems.

[Sedat]

If Brisbane play like they played tonight we will win comfortably. They were largely unimpressive for a top 4 contending team.

Kudos to McLuggage who was exceptional in the last qtr. Excellent young player.

[Rocket Science]

Lulz at Jeremy Howe fangin' it with the cartwheel behind the mark on Bailey's match-winner.

Just send Libba to him and make his night hell.

Bailey absolutely flushed thet kick. Nerves of steel.

[Bulldog Joe]

Interesting game with both ex Bulldogs (Roughead and Adams) contributing in areas we see as a weakness (KPD)

I was intigrued in quarter 2 when I witnessed Roughy outpace an opposition player (Ballenden).

This should be noted for any end of year discussion when someone suggests Ballenden as a trade option for us.

[Happy Days]

I thought Adams was pretty bad to be honest. His intercept game has almost entirely disappeared and he’s a nightmare by foot if he has to do anything but kick down the line.

[bornadog]

Grundy had 54 hitouts

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

We'll need to win the midfield comprehensively, Daniher and Hipwood are far too mobile for our talls if they good good supply.

[Sedat]

We'll need to win the midfield comprehensively, Daniher and Hipwood are far too mobile for our talls if they good good supply.

Their mids were poor and 2nd to the ball for most of the night (except late in the match). On paper they have a very strong midfield but they have underperformed this season so far and aren't working hard enough. On the positive they hung tough really well when not playing at their best, just like they did last week.

Pies moved it too slowly when they had control tonight and they also butchered it going into F50.

[jeemak]

Ch7 God bless 'em just cut short an exceptional presser from a losing coach. Buckley all but put a line through hit outs as being something teams can dominate from, even those to advantage. Essentially all teams and coaches know who is good and bad at it, and set up their stoppages accordingly, with the difference being which midfield shows up and which doesn't.

I guess this needs to be viewed in the context that having a dominant hit out ruck can mean your midfield doesn't need to be on all the time. Good insights.

While he was clearly angry and things don't seem to be going well for him, he at least answered the questions thoroughly and it was a shame Ch7 needed to get a NAB advert for the rising star nomination for last week in.

They certainly performed poorly in round one, but since have ground out a win under trying circumstances in terms of scheduling and should have won last week against the runners up.

Teams sometimes don't get the results irrespective of effort, sometimes they do. I reckon last week and this week are good examples of that for Brissy. They'll be a formidable opponent next week.

Good to see you posting regularly mate.

[comrade]

Pies are weird. They were all over Brisbane but went completely back into their shell late in the 2nd quarter after some counterplay.

Feels like Bucks has instilled a ‘don’t lose’ mentality (hence the parking of the bus in our game) and it leads to these sort of panic ridden finishes (2018 GF also).

Coming to Bevo's way of thinking. :)

[DOG GOD]

A fwd line of Daniher, Hipwood and Cameron will pose problems for most defences, let alone ours. Cameron hasn’t set the world on fire....yet, and we know what Hipwood can be like against us. McCluggage was brilliant, and will need to be stopped, and certainly can’t afford to have Neale rack up 40 possies. It will be tough, but let’s get over NM first. If, God forbid, we lose that, then things can quickly derail.

Great effort by Bris last night, and good to see Bailey kick the winner after what should be been a winning tackle last week.

[comrade]

I think it says more about Collingwood's midfielders and their coach unable to stop the opposition sharking than it does about the effectiveness of a ruckman. Grundy was far and away the best player on the ground last night, imo.

28 disposals is a fair effort for a big man

The Collingwood forward line was appalling and they didn't make enough of their chances. Their midfield isn't flash either.
We should have had a 6 goal win against them. Grundy was awesome but it was against unprepared kids and their midfielders and forwards didn't make the most of the opportunities he provided them.

[hujsh]

My hope is that Brisbane got their accurate game out of the way and go back to spraying it at goal next week

[EasternWest]

Wrong thread.

[Hotdog60]

The Suns went alright last night if Tex wasn't riding a purple patch ATM and the Suns didn't lose their ruck they would have won this game.

[comrade]

The Suns went alright last night if Tex wasn't riding a purple patch ATM and the Suns didn't lose their ruck they would have won this game.

Witts will be a significant loss if he's out for a while. All their back up rucks are injured.

Man, I'm glad we picked up Stef 'The Equalizer' Martin.

[Hotdog60]

Likewise Stef's influence at the stoppage can't be under estimated. Even if he's not winning the tap his strength in there not to be out bodied is an asset.

[hujsh]

On that game last night... since when is there a second Good Friday game? I thought that whole point is they only do one and tie to closely to the Children's Hospital Appeal? Or has that whole concern just flown out the window?

Kind of feel like it undercuts the 'blockbuster' aspect of the match if there's a Friday night game right after.

[Hotdog60]

That's just how city hall works. More moola from the networks.

[DOG GOD]

Sydney taking Tigers to the cleaners right now. Got some good kids, and playing a brand that’s quick and team orientated. Hopefully they continue. I love seeing the Tigers backline in disarray.

[ratsmac]

Gee Sydney are looking good. They just made Richmond look like Norf yesterday. They have some exciting kids

[hujsh]

Will put more of the hype on them as well

[comrade]

Dalrymple + academy kids gifted to them = very quick rebuild

[bornadog]

DRs prediction coming to fruition

[bornadog]

Bombres quick start, three goals to zero

[bornadog]

Saints are the big pretenders, currently 5 goals down against the youngest team this round.

Edit: make that 38 points with 4 to Stringer

[chef]

Stringer looks in great knick, nice to see.

[bornadog]

Brad Hill officially over rated

[bornadog]

Wow Saints getting smashed. 3 min left in first half and 50 points down

[Rocket Science]

Saints doing their best to sully what's been otherwise exemplary long weekend.

Wake the f*** up you middling at best clowns.

[DOG GOD]

Stringer has certainly done a Brucey and slimmed down a lot. Moving well. No Ryder and no Marshall mean no Saints. Getting slaughtered out of the middle. Lack of effort on saints behalf as well.

[Grantysghost]

It's great to see. Just an average organisation.

[Grantysghost]

Stringer has certainly done a Brucey and slimmed down a lot. Moving well. No Ryder and no Marshall mean no Saints. Getting slaughtered out of the middle. Lack of effort on saints behalf as well.

They've invested 1.5 million + a year in Hill and Crouch.

[EasternWest]

Stringer looks in great knick, nice to see.

Looks fit. Maybe he's flying?

[DOG GOD]

They've invested 1.5 million + a year in Hill and Crouch.

And when the team is down, HILL is one of the laziest in the team.

[hujsh]

I can't take any joy in an Essendon win

[Grantysghost]

And when the team is down, HILL is one of the laziest in the team.

Unfortunately it seems that way. He's more cream than cake.

[Dry Rot]

DRs prediction coming to fruition

Yep, I thought the Swans would be good in 2021.

Bevo should show our a team a reel of Swans' forward entries: accurate, well thought out flat kicks to good leads which leaves little opportunity for the Tigers defenders.

[bornadog]

Port Adelaide getting thrashed by West Coast, looks like we will be top of the ladder after this round unless Melbourne wins by a huge margin to take over our 181.6%

[westdog54]

Tiger utility knocked out in heavy collision
https://afl.app.link/bYmoGPBA9eb

Great sportsmanship by Dane Rampe to signal to the Tigers bench that McIntosh was in distress and stay by his side until help arrived.

Staggeringly, Rampe was awarded a free from this contest for contact below the knees.

That. *!*!*!*!ing. Rule. Does. My. *!*!*!*!ing. Head. In.

Its an awful rule which is inconsistently applied. An over reaction to one incident.

Yes you did, and they are after three rounds and kudos to you! Sorry, bully for you!!!

However, I'm probably not going to ask Bevo to barge into the forwards meeting and ask they start looking at others and change things up right now.

[comrade]

The GWS faux-toughman act is so tiresome. Just giving dumb free kicks. They're an absolute shadow of the 2016 side we beat in the prelim.

[jazzadogs]

I wish Kozzie Pickett had lasted a few more picks, and we were able to snare him when we got Weightman (who still has plenty of potential).

Kozzie is a pleasure to watch.

[DOG GOD]

The GWS faux-toughman act is so tiresome. Just giving dumb free kicks. They're an absolute shadow of the 2016 side we beat in the prelim.

And it’s so great to see.

[comrade]

And it’s so great to see.

They’ve now lost Cogs, Davis and De Boer to injury. Very likely to end up bottom 4 this year.

[westdog54]

The GWS faux-toughman act is so tiresome. Just giving dumb free kicks. They're an absolute shadow of the 2016 side we beat in the prelim.

They're a shadow of the 2019 team that beat US in the finals. 1

And any semblance of team morale they may have had will be our the window with their captain on the sidelines.

Surely Cameron won't survive the season.

Easter Monday blockbuster, meh. Sure the last 10 mins was exciting but the rest of the game was average at best.

To me a blockbuster is when two teams in top 4 are playing. Hawks are bottom 4

[comrade]

Mark O'Connor will definitely go to Bont when we play the Cats. Hope we're ready for it.

[soupman]

Geez Howe (twice) and Frost killed them with ball in hand that game. That Clark goal was great fun.

Geelong were a pain to watch, so slow, and Hawthorn were frequently their own worst enemies.

Jiath is something though.

[jazzadogs]

Terribly boring match. The Hawks played exactly to the Cats hands with their forward entries - long, deep and poorly targeted - perfect for their intercepting brigade.

It's incredible that they were able to get so close at the end, even with their terrible skills and decision-making. Are the Cats no good this year?

Actually a Court jester is what he looks like. Someone to juggle and fart at will in front of the king.

[Sedat]

They've invested 1.5 million + a year in Hill and Crouch.
Would they have bothered to get Crouch if they knew Treloar was gettable?

That's a shame.

[azabob]

What's even better is Footy Classified asked did Collingwood push the wrong guy!!

Perhaps they should've looked at DeGoey or Sidebottom was the discussion!!

Sidebottom was horrible against the Brions. Torched the ball all night long.

I said this at the time. Treloar would’ve been a perfect fit for the Saints.

[Grantysghost]

That's a shame.

It's a terrible shame isn't it. They've gone way too heavy on recycled v the draft.

Membrey, Ryder, Butler, Higgins, Steele, Howard, Jones, Hill, Hannebery, Frawley, Kent, McKernan, Wood, Carlisle?
That's a chunk. Some decent players there but their drafting hasn't really given a lot and that's a big investment in recycled players albeit some would be cheap as chips.
Hunter Clarke looks sublime, King clearly a massive talent, Marshall, Gresham look good but I think they've done poorly in the draft overall.

Compare to the Tigers they have Lynch, Prestia, Nankervis, Houli, Caddy?

Not sure what they were thinking with Crouch.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

Is Dan Butler going to become the next Gowers or Lloyd for the saints? Amazing first season but then will fall away to the standards that got them traded/almost delisted in the first place. His stats are awful to start the season. He's got 1 goal from 3 games and is averaging 8 disposals.

It was looking like a great strategy last year. Although I had my doubts to its effectiveness long term, I certainly didn't think they would crash so soon. It's a long season so they still have time to right the ship. But they could be 0-3 and that includes poor performances against GWS and essendon who both should end up in the bottom half of the bottom 10. I think they are really missing Ryder and Marshall. Their over-reliance on small forwards means they need that height and contested marking ability both bring. Without them, too much is being left to their awful midfield.

Agree. Ryder and Marshall are massive outs. Most of last year, their mids got first use. But different right now. The opposition are killing it out of the centre, putting immense pressure on the likes of Howard.

King needs to start leading at the ball. He’s no longer the Giant playing under 18’s outreaching or out muscling the opposition.

More than anything, it’s their skill level that has severely dropped off. They are lucky to hit 1/5 targets atm, by foot or handball. Massive 3 weeks for them with WC, Rich and Port. Their year could be officially over with 3 losses there.

Form wise you can't see them winning any of those.

Ryder would be at best underdone if picked for any. They need a massive lift from Hill, Crouch etc

[soupman]

That's a shame.

A few clubs got screwed by doing the right thing and not leaving their homework to the night before.

St.Kilda would have been much better off with a discounted Treloar than an expensive Crouch.

Essendon could have not bothered with the debacle that was the Dunkley deal and instead been the good guys and offered Treloar salvation for a late second rounder.

Carlton could've grabbed a gun midfielder to help take the pressure off Cripps, instead they went out and grabbed a half back flanker at a premium price that they hope can be a quality mid.

Geelong would probably have baulked at Treloars age, but instead of their remaining cash going towards an at the end Higgins and Smith they could have gotten themselves a pretty good double act with Dangerfield.

Arguably two of those clubs (Essendon and Carlton) would've been ranked as the clubs Treloar would make the biggest difference at, instead he goes to a club where he is arguably not even in the best 2 mids, and has to play off the wing half the time.
