Discussion 2023 Finals Week 2: Teams & In Game Discussion

[Miss_Brightside]

Unfortunately for them that has no bearing on their finals performance.

I'm just wondering what has happened since win 13.

 

[Manikato1]

Watch out Bill Stephen.

He won't make it unless Port extend again at the end of 2025 but I like your point.

 

[Ben's Beasts]

I am all about a Brisbane v GWS Grand Final.

If GWS get the job done tonight I feel they can take it up to the Pies in a prelim. They play with so much heart.

Brisbane a near certainty to beat Carlton if the match is officiated fairly.

I didn't watch last night's game. I've kind of checked out since Richmond's season finished. Did Carlton have the rub of the green last night?

I’m not the right person to ask.

Missed opportunity to deliver a riptide to BT to finally put him out of commission for good.

Why didn't he interview Mami?

Don't know but momentum is very hard to maintain over a full season.

Fair enough. Well, good luck for next year, @Ben's Beasts. I'm sure your Dees will be up there once again in 2024.

 

[Miss_Brightside]

Definitely. Look at Geelong in 2008 and Richmond in 2018.

Most games coached without a grand final appearance (or winning a preliminary final):
Bill Stephen: 258
Ken Hinkley: 247

Am I the only one that finds it strange that last nights winner gets an 8 day break while tonight’s has a 6 day break?

Yeah, it's a bit weird, but it's more about giving Collingwood as minor premier the extra day for the GF. Had Melbourne won last week instead, Brisbane would have had the same preferential treatment. (And possibly avoided the traffic jam to end them all, with the Lions and Broncos both hosting on the same night!)

 

[Baglimit]

Have to kick those opportunities to win

 

[mike89]

All the talk is about Cogs but Tom Green has played an absolute blinder tonight. Incredible hands and skills under intense pressure.

 

[PC]

Powell-Pepper was always going to kick that point, just not a good user of the ball.

 

[Leroy]

If GWS get the job done tonight I feel they can take it up to the Pies in a prelim. They play with so much heart.

They did it in the 2019 prelim, I think the belief would be there that they could do it again.

In the wet slog against a fancied opponent on the MCG they were absolutely tough and uncompromising. Hopefully is a cracker game!
