The Finals thread: (week 1)

[Buddy Love]

Whoa that was slick 👌

 

[Under the Sticks]

Well, at least he didn't rush out of the line like we've been used to from our halfback for the past 15 seasons......

oh but he went arm grabbing on this second try....dear me I'm having 2025 flashbacks already

The Raiders are shot after a 6 day turnaround from 95 mins of high intensity daytime football last week. Sharks will probably go on with this.

Talaki is having a "Harper" of a night. Absolutley killing it off the bench.

We're living through an era in which its all about how good you are with the ball in hand. Halfbacks of today couldn't hold a defensive candle to the likes of Des Hasler, Geoff Toovey or even a Steve Mortimer.

 

[rich]

Well we aren’t improving on the defensive end with our new no. 7

 

[Buddy Love]

Hynes killing it. Fogarty been pretty average can't lie. Sharks will go on with this but I hope I'm wrong

 

[Eagle 1]

Listen to Kevvie. Twice said they should have taken the two and not played on… Raiders score, and Kevvie says you have to take those chances in a prelim… which is it, Post-Event Kevvie Obvious? 🤷‍♂️🤣

Yep, he's a jovial fella, with a few footy tales to tell.

Maybe that's why the faders only offered Fogarty 1 year. Not happy with his defense reads. Much like our departing myth.

 

[mickqld]

If the faders lose this and Fogarty cops a lot of the blame like after last week then his confidence is going to shot to hell.

mmm...is his high bomb kicking game enough tho.

 

[skull61]

Don’t think the faders performance is on one guy Sharks running harder and defending better seem to be playing with more confidence and no pressure whereas faders not handling the pressure so far.

 

[Oligarch]

Fox death riding Fog pretty hard. Lucky he has Brooks next year 😬

Sharks and Dogs are the only teams left who pass my "Not Beaten by Manly This Year" test. They're specials.

[Remind me of this when Canberra have a great second half and storm home for the win.]

Timiko sucks as well so that doesn't help.

Next year looks so bad I don’t see much upside with Fogarty
His defence was/ is as bad as DCE

 

[mickqld]

Looks like huge fukup by the faders not picking Ethan Sanders in the 19.

You mean Brooks lucky to have Fog next year?

 

[Under the Sticks]

Weekes needs to get involved in the absnece of his usual feeder Strange

 

[Buddy Love]

They keep doing crash plays when the space had already been created out wide. Weekes needs to be more involved
