AFL - Round 3 discussion - (and lives scores)

Carlile destroyed Pav, he has really come on in the last year.
Did a number on Tex and can now add Pav's scalp, will get St Nick next week so it doesnt get any easier

BOG for mine tonight- simply outstanding job on one of the competitions greats.

He's a champion and I'll back him to bounce back .. But IF and I mean IF, Pav continued current form, how much longer would we see him?

Ross Lyon has a very ordinary coaching record v Essendon. The Dons used to cut St K to shreds with their run, quick ball movement.

Having said that you'd think Freo would win tonight.

This isn't St Kilda circa 2011 V Essendon. Think you'll find his new playing list is a tad quicker & more dynamic than he had before. That is why the Dockers are a genuine top 4 chance.

Lyon must be having nightmares about the Dons.

Had achilles and back problems during the preseason....

Will his body improve much from here though?

Off course, he will gain fitness and start to contribute more to the team. Not going to be 100% at his best again but better than any of their other key forwards.

It was typical of a Lyon coached side tonight, they should of been 10 goal up at 1/2 Time, his sides just dont put enough score on the board for all their dominance.
Very defensive minded, with the midfield he has they should be racking up decent scores most weeks

I think they said 58 inside 50's or something Jim. 9 goals from that many inside 50's isn't going to win many games.

As I've said before, I don't think Lyon's gameplan can win flags. Freo will be up there, but they'll need to do more if they're going to threaten the really good sides.

BTW, yes I do know it was wet over there last night.

Dawson and Pearce.
What super stars
Pearce cannot go to the next level and be a match winner.
Had two chances to kick goals on his natural foot in the last quarter and blew them.
As for Dawson.
I've seen less soil in a babies nappy.

Agreed gadj.

The umps have pulled out some beauties both ways this quarter
That deliberate out of bounds was a shocker

Every now and again a little incident gets my blood boiling, and this one did last night.
The player was good enough to win the ball, which is the supposed object of the game, so surely he has the right to boot it to his team's advantage. The clock stops and ball gets thrown in to a 50-50 contest, so what's the ******* problem? I know it's been like that for a few years now, but still sh!ts me.

[saintal]

Agree 100% FH, been some shockers the past few years.

Nice of Channel 7 to put the North/Sydney game on 1.5 hour delay today.

[Jim05]

Gotta love Foxtel, 3 games on LIVE back to back and are showing 2 Live games at the moment all ad free
Commercial stations can get fugged

[mighty_tiger_79]

the umpiring from what i saw was diabolical

i only saw the last qtr

the deliberate out of bounds against the bombers was a disgrace.
i think the deliberate out of bounds really should be more focused on those players who just waltz across the boundary line - not those that are trying to benefit their team!

the free kick paid against the bombers where the player had dived on the ball and a freo player with no intention of going for the ball just ran straight into him and fell over - and then got 50m that was clearly wrong imo

[Squids]

I wonder how hard that arm guard Le Cras has on.

Geelong won too
Geelong 15.7 (97) - Carlton 12.16 (88).

[Jim05]

Dees having a real decent crack against the Eagles

[Jim05]

Couple of goals in time on to the Eagles gives them an 8 point lead at 1/4 Time.
Roos up by 13 just before 1/2 Time

Ashton Hams is a joke of the footballer. diving hack
