Docker123 Posted August 28, 2021 #478 Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) wow! Enormous defensive effort by the Giants in the last 10 minutes. Short last quarter. Hold on to beat Swans by 1 point. Buddy hung the ball out to the right with 2 minutes to go. Such a gettable goal, but… Giants 74: Swans 73.

Should be weeks. Stoppage in play, Greene had something to say. Then walked in and bumped shoulders with the umpire. Nothing hard, but deliberate. Dumb.

Such a gettable goal, but… Giants 74: Swans 73. It was a great, but disappointing, game. Sort of summarized the Swans season--win some close games, lose some they shouldn't. My fav play was the 2 goals that hit the post. Pretty accurate shooting, that 😁 I wonder if they practiced it??? I am hoping we get to see more of the playoffs but the TV coverage here is a little unpredictable. Especially now that American football is about to start. Go Swans (2022)! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early March 2014, the water temps were fine, and no need for wet suit's or even spring suits, although some areas were a bit cooler due to stronger currents from the south.

Yes, they had 6 attempts to take the lead in the last 5 and only managed points instead of goals. That is what pressure can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possum52 Posted August 28, 2021 #487 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Some happy folk in my family and some not so happy with the Dees beating the Lions by 33 points last night. I must say I am excited but also nervous with the Bombers playing the Bulldogs this afternoon. Hopefully a win for my Bombers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But nothing that was chilly, That's interesting. Everything I've read says wet suits are necessary. I guess we'll give it a go and see what happens. I would rather not have to deal with getting in and out of a wetsuit. 3 hours ago, MicCanberra said: Yes, they had 6 attempts to take the lead in the last 5 and only managed points instead of goals.

I just checked--game will be on TV tonight. I'll try and watch but I stayed up late last night to watch the Swans. May not have another late night in me!

I don't think many of them even know about AFL, except the 2 people we travelled with down under. They went to the swans game with us and when I try to talk about the Swans, they act all uninterested. Go figure 😉 But thanks for asking! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could he never have seen it live on TV in Buffalo? I live in Albuquerque, much less access to good TV and I get to see some games?? I envy his knowledge. I am trying to learn more but there's a lot. I learned US football by watching on TV, but I don't get to see enough AFL games.

I’m not a big AFL fan, but if he ever gets down under I plan to take him to a live game. Ugliest bugger you’ve ever seen, even his mum says we could pass as brothers. Not so much now I’ve shaved and my hair is short but when we sported similar hair and beard… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoWhiners Posted September 3, 2021 Author #497 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Games on TV here in the wee hours this morning and tomorrow. I doubt I will be able to watch them. Good luck to those who still have teams in the race! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted September 3, 2021 #498 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I am hoping that GWS can beat Geelong and the lions can beat the dogs although, I am not that fussed on the lions either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWhiners Posted September 3, 2021 Author #499 Share Posted September 3, 2021 How likely is it that GWS beats Geelong? They barely beat the Swans and that may not bode well for their chances? Looks like Geelong is favored??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted September 3, 2021 #500 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Yes, and they have lost Toby who leads from the front, so not likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
