AFL Game Day R17 - 2024

This is interesting the way the Swans are structuring up almost man on man (not quite) to stop the Saints chipping through them.

That is 100% man on man with a spare in the skinny side pocket to force them to the far side where (I'm guessing) Grundy has set up camp.

Wish there was access to the down the ground cameras full time.

What did people think of Phillipou's game? I had him marked down as an ok player prior, that was a real break out for me and at his size he could be anything.

2022 draft looking great. Cmon Buss add to it!

Bravo Saints. Dockers & Saints prove Sydney not invincible. Such an open year. Pity we haven’t been able to show close to our best most weeks this year. Difficult to predict who could win it this year. Wouldn’t mind Dockers, now the Pies appear to be struggling.

Ross gave him some tough love through the VFL which seems to work.

Bevo needs to give Marra some tough love in the VFL

[bornadog]

Heeney Brownlow gone.

He clocked Webster will have to be gone.

[FrediKanoute]

Was a really bad round of results for us. Teams wnnng put a big gap between us and fnals

Given Naughton is going to be out this week I don't think we can leave Marra out.

Marra is just going, but is contributing most weeks. He's only in his fourth year, so is likely to be inconsistent.

[Grantysghost]

He was trying to get separation however it's got be to weeks.

[EasternWest]

Heeney Brownlow gone.

He clocked Webster will have to be gone.

Isn't hitting Webster regarded as performing a service?

Yeah, you are probably right. He needs to pull his finger out this week.

[jeemak]

How is Heeney more culpable than Spider McGlurk Thatcher in that Webster went lower and Heeney was just trying to get "separation" when Spider McGlurk Thatcher was just trying to get "touch" on Naughton?

Bad results for a home final but no real ground lost for sneaking in to 7th or 8th Collingwood, Gold Coast and Hawthorn losing. GWS have a tough last month and we have them in the final round. Our percentage is still solid and should help us.

We had a real shocker this weekend but our best can challenge anyone. Carlton are absolutely gettable this week if we have the right attitude as we did against Freo. We haven't had 2 shockers in a row all season.

But the real buzz of the round is whether you watch press conferences.
