Non-Richmond games 2023
« on: March 02, 2023, 08:05:53 PM »
Pies beat the Hawks by a goal ... 15.16 to 14.16.

Only a practice match but hardly convincing by the Pies. The Pies defenders were setting up for the deep long kick and the Hawks were able to find targets 40 out by lowering their eyes.

Markov by the way had 8 possies and in the last qtr one poor turnover across HB which gifted the Hawks a goal.

Trying to understand why the media are pumping up Port this year :huh3

Geelong seemed to still be on their flag hangover.

Ashcroft impressive for the Lions. Going to be hard to beat for the rising star.

Maybe because of that entitled adolescent turd they recruited?

Gee I hope Geelong falls of a cliff or ceases to exist.

Easy!

Coach in the final year of his contract

Pump up so it gives the media a weekly headline until he gets sacked

They target a coach every year, it's Kenny's turn this year

Geez, the bits of Saints vs Bombers game I saw was ugly to watch. You wouldn't think either will threaten the Top 8. Bombers with just 3 goals are bottom 4 bound once again based on that lol.

Got to love how defensive footy is now seen as a bad thing by the commentators. A game with no tackling isn't a good thing.

Carnage tonight.

Howe broken arm after colliding with Stengle. He was in agony on the ground withering in pain. Ch7 rightly didn't show any more.

Stewart knee (medial?)
Stengle (concussion?)
De Koning hurt his knee as well but he's come back on.

I reckon Howe has a compound fracture of his L) ulnar and radius just near his elbow, looks quite displaced. Should be in surgery within hours at most.

Bit of a shoot out otherwise. Happy for them to hurt themselves a bit (not like Howe tho)

Yep, Howe's left arm copped the full force of his body as he landed and snapped :P. Just horrible :P.

Geelong played like a bunch of millionaires and got what they deserved. Ridiculously accurate kicking (16.1 at one stage) hid their poor defending. A shootout might be good to watch for commentators and neutrals but that first half was bruise free March footy. Once the Pies improved their pressure from halfway through the 3rd quarter, the Cats goals dried up, and the Pies overran them.

Don't rate Collingwood that much but glad pussies lost.

A curse on them please.

Port smash Brisbane by 54 points

Kenny out of the media's firing line for this week at least

Fagan has his contract extended, so maybe the media will go after him?
