2012 AFL Thread III - Why Do We Even Bother With Our Stupid Teams? - Page 2

And maybe Carlton wins when LM is asleep...

I think the Bombers are just sick of playing on Saturday nights! Something like 6 or 7 in a row.

cobl04 · 07-07-2012, 10:36 PM

500 career goals for Buddy. Should join the 1000 club. Legend.

Alisaura · 07-07-2012, 10:55 PM

It's certainly an impressive achievement given his accuracy.

Edited - I was reading the score thingy wrong, never mind!

Alisaura · 07-07-2012, 11:58 PM

Gods, are GWS even there??

Axver · 07-07-2012, 11:59 PM

Starting to suspect not. At this rate, Hawthorn might win by over 150.

cobl04 · 07-08-2012, 12:06 AM

Buddy subbed off.

The ultimate insult.

Axver · 07-08-2012, 12:27 AM

Gold Coast's been leading Geelong early.

Both teams very sloppy. Imagine Geelong can rectify that though, while this is probably not far off Gold Coast's best.

Reggo · 07-08-2012, 12:39 AM

Carn cats!

Axver · 07-08-2012, 12:46 AM

Carn Suns! If they hadn't blown a couple of perfect opportunities through inexperience and inefficiency, they could have another couple of goals too. Geelong's defence is garbage so far.

Imagine all will change next quarter though.

Axver · 07-08-2012, 01:08 AM

Geelong's finally woken up. Gold Coast had a 17 point lead ... then Chapman kicked three goals in as many minutes.

Vlad n U 2 · 07-08-2012, 01:08 AM

193 to 31 ... oh man.

Axver · 07-08-2012, 01:18 AM

So for possibly the first time this season, Gold Coast looks more competent than GWS. The Suns lead the Cats at half time!

Alisaura · 07-08-2012, 02:09 AM

I wish I could think that the Suns can come back in the last quarter... ah well, can't win 'em all.

Vlad n U 2 · 07-08-2012, 02:11 AM

Suns prove once again they can only play at AFL standard for one half.

Axver · 07-08-2012, 02:11 AM

19 points down ... yeah, not looking likely, but if the Suns do come back to win this, I will never disobey your coin's predictions ever again, Alison.

And Vlad, not so sure about that - they've still been good and competitive in the third quarter, and indeed with no sheer dreadful lapses like in the second when Chapman got 3 in 3. Let's see if they can hold it together even vaguely in the final quarter before passing judgement ... but I'm expecting a fadeout too.

Vlad n U 2 · 07-08-2012, 02:26 AM

I don't think I've seen a player consistently kill a team's hope like Brennan does.

Axver · 07-08-2012, 02:28 AM

Four goal lead now to Geelong. Think this game is over - but it's the best Gold Coast has played all year, and the worst Geelong has played since ... 2006?

That Freo match where they were robbed of a victory ...

Axver · 07-08-2012, 02:37 AM

Oh good point, I'd forgotten about that. And there was also their game against the Bombers - though I think that one was perhaps not quite as good overall compared to today, even if they were competitive later in the final quarter.

What's frustrating is that the Suns scored 68 in the first three quarters - or on average just under 23 points a quarter - and now just 9 in the final quarter.
