The 2014 AFL Thread Chasing a Place in the Eight

[Axver]

Add Mzungu to the list of players having a blinder today. Him and Pav are tearing it up.

 

[Axver]

Goddamnit. Freo didn't make enough of their chances while it was raining, and now the rain's gone and Sydney are charging. Ughhh.

 

[Axver]

Sydney've got this.

 

[Alisaura]

Oh dear...

 

[Alisaura]

Maybe Freo aren't done yet!

 

[Axver]

Matthew Pavlich you fucking beauty!

 

[Alisaura]

Never mind.

 

[Axver]

Oh piss off Buddy.

 

[Alisaura]

Gaaaah. Damn you Buddy.

 

[Axver]

Let me upgrade my last post to FUCK OFF BUDDY.

 

[Alisaura]

"From the prince of Hawthorn to the baron of Bondi..." Did he get demoted in the move north? Not judging from his pay packet.

 

[Axver]

Ugghhhh Sandilands needed to slot that.

This goal avalanche is so unexpected.

 

[Axver]

Don't see Freo somehow finding another four goals in eleven minutes.

 

[Axver]

Though there's one of the four...!

 

[Alisaura]

Why does anyone let Buddy ever take a set shot? *L*

 

[Axver]

Three goals in four minutes isn't going to happen.

 

[Alisaura]

Agh, why didn't that Freo player stop and take the shot? I know they're short on time but...

 

[Alisaura]

Ah well, Freo gave it a bloody good crack.

 

[Axver]

Fucking BALLS.

 

[Axver]

I don't care who plays Sydney in the prelim, just as long as they fucking maul the Swans.

 

[LemonMelon]

I hate to say it, but Sydney bought themselves a pretty damn good team.

 

[Axver]

That's partly why I want them to crash and burn.

 

[Alisaura]

Wouldn't it be a shame if Buddy and Tippett suffered separate but tragic accidents involving leg injuries...

 

[cobl04]

I just hope things spice up a bit from now on. We've had two games with really good patches, but it hasn't been all that exciting yet. Hoping Richmond and North get up, and then Richmond manage to beat Freo next week.

We've been pretty spoilt for good finals in recent times. 07 has really been the only bad grand final in the past decade, and I enjoyed the shit out of that one. And the 2010 replay sucked, but I got suuuuuper wasted that day.

 

[Axver]

I'm surprised North are going into tonight's game fairly strong favourites. Most commentary - and the betting odds - suggest an Essendon victory would be an upset, yet I'm more confident in the Bombers being able to fall over the line than North. We've got a shit-tonne to play for, while North are notoriously weak mentally.

Tomorrow's game... oh man, just imagine if Richmond go 10-0.

 

[LemonMelon]

Yeah. I think North is marginally more talented than Essendon and have achieved some great things this year, but they're so badly coached that I would be surprised if they pulled their heads out long enough to win a game that actually matters.

My head tells me that, after the way Richmond played us in the finals last year, they're doomed. But anything is possible with the momentum they've got.

 

[Axver]

Just about time for the bounce. I'm a little nervous...

 

[Axver]

I'm enjoying this start so far!

And it's strange to see Goddard and Dal Santo playing on different teams in the same final.

 

[Axver]

North got back into that, and our inaccuracy didn't help us. Thank god we're still in front at the first break, even if it's by the narrowest margin!
