Discussion 2023 Round 13: Teams & In Game Discussion

[Ricky Bobby]

Was at Waverley that day as a young kid….what a performance…..triple teaming him at the end were the tigers…
shame there is minimal coverage or footage of the day

I think it was back in the day when all games were played on a Saturday. I’m pretty sure I was at the G and the updates were coming through on the scoreboard at the end of each quarter 🤔

Dawson needs to get 93 points to have a 5 round average of 100.

Being in the very few that don't have him, I'm pretty fine with it.

 

[Wheedus]

I wonder at what point the AFL starts to get embarrassed by this

 

[Connoisseur]

I still cannot put the C on liard

I thought this was the perfect opportunity to do so, given the opposition?

Yeap i cannot go there again.
Marshall/Brawshaw VC

So if Laird averages say 120-125+ for the remainder of the season you will not at any stage consider him for captaincy duties because of one bad experience?

Against North and WCE i would consider.

Dawson score is Bull Shower

Where’s his ton, Laird only has to sneeze and he gets +10

 

[Tails]

Yeo .. onto the watchlist he goes ...

Don’t do it Tails, lol

He's got a bandaid on him for not sure what reason.

Round 15 target for me and I expected him to make a little this week on his 112 BE.

Poked himself in the eye

I am bewildered by the play on call from the umps these days when a player takes a mark. ROB takes a mark and takes two steps directly back on the mark and is called play on. It is just nonsense.

 

[Maccas marvels]

No chance of Laird sub today hehe….Mchenry on for Murray

 

[KLo30]

Poked himself in the eye in the first quarter. Haven't seen anything else injury wise since.

 

[Maccas marvels]

I think they are managing Laird a little because they need him at the pointy end of the season so getting subbed is not as crazy as it sounds. Game is won so why risk your best player if he was carrying a niggle or two.

No chance of that….we want to see him get 200!

After seeing Dawson get the rub of the green most of this season, I’m glad Laird is finally getting the ‘freebies’.

Doesn't seem two motions, just looks like he held the tackle too long if anything, Brockman possibly contributed to it being worse than it otherwise would have been.

Arms weren't pinned either.

How does a situation where a team is regularly uncompetitive to the point of averaging 100-point losses occur? In professional sports, aren’t most athletes relatively similar in terms of skill, athleticism, training, and resources etc? Shouldn’t the difference between winning and losing be relatively minor, especially in the age of equalisation?

Chesser going absolutely galactic by his standards.

Jason Dunstall kicked about 17.5 one day v Richmond... sorry 😋

I remember this day well. (actually, not so well.)

Back in the day a few of the lads played these stupid drinking games, and on this day we all had to draw out 2 names from the hat, and down a beer for every goal they kicked.

My selections were Jarman and Dunstall.
Was a big day.
