Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2023

[Dockeroo]

For you yeh. 44 + 4 = 48 when I went to school. Swans 8th on 50 points.

For absence of doubt, Adelaide would be playing finals v Carlton in week one in Melbourne if Ben Keays goal had not been incorrectly disallowed last week.

For absence of doubt, Adelaide would be playing finals v Carlton in week one in Melbourne if Ben Keays goal had not been incorrectly disallowed last week.

Yet the addition of Gather Round gave them an extra home game and 4 points that normally wouldn't happen that the other interstate clubs didn't get enjoy.

Cry me a river if they won on the road a bit more they would have made it.

Only won 2 games all season outside Adelaide.

Hawthorn and West Coast nothing to bleat about.

Sydney don’t deserve to be there either though, took a north Melbourne interchange brain fart and a goal umpire brain fart for them to qualify in 8th.

Geelong losing to Freo twice also cost them a finals spot. Ha

 

[Taylor]

Melbourne and GWS hold Fremantle and Richmond's first round picks, five and six at the moment, both traded last year for mature players.

Do we expect much discussion on the trading of futures during trade period, critical of the cost of the likes of Jackson, Hopper, Taranto?

who’s gonna tell him?

Yes I know I ****ed up. My maths is shit…But will own it unlike others on this board.

Go the sharks .

So are there fans.

They've buggered off very early.

honestly pretty embarrassing, their team has been on an absolute tear to end the season and make finals for the first time in a decade and they check out early bc theyre down in a nothing game. surely stick around and support the team for a good end to the home and away season

You could argue that as well.

But the whinging from Adelaide fans is tiresome.

They had 6 games decided under a goal and lost 5 of them.

They had there opportunities to win one more game and didn't take it.

Gryanel Messi is the best footy meme this year. Amazing he's on board with it.

I like how you have cut off all the irrelevant teams that finished below swan districts (not including Perth)

All the points you raised are irrelevant. The fact is they were robbed of that game and more concerning is Gillian throwing the goal umpire under the bus when the whole goal review system is inadequate in the first place.
Needless to say, if that happened to us we would be screaming blue murder and rightly so. I actually wish all the clubs got together on this issue and force AFL to sort the system out once and for all

It happened to us twice this year, 1st was a Hughes kick that was paid a mark to the opposition when replays showed it had crossed the line and should of been called a goal (if they’d called for a review) second was even more bizarre, mark was paid to Freo play, who went back and kicked the goal, then they decided to review the mark and reversed the decision declaring it had crossed the line for a behind so the mark shouldn’t have been paid.
They need to change the rules to review everything that goes near the goals, whether the ump calls a mark, post or behind but this would slow down the game immensely.

None of them as clear cut as Adelaide’s and none of them cost us a game.

You can all have opinions and tell Adelaide to suck it up, fine. But unless something drastically changes, it’s a matter of time before we lose a game blatantly like that and then this server may as well switch off.

 

[Taylor]

You mean like how the umpire set the place for a free kick after the siren a good ten metres further forward than where the ball went out of bounds and then handed the ball to a player who was nowhere near the event to take the kick costing us the match?

That would never happen to us..

Who's to say sydney don't win a clearance and kick a goal in the remaining 90 seconds of game time though. It's not like our game vs north where we were robbed of a kick after the siren with the most clear deliberate ever seen and then the AFL released unsynced footage to try and prove they were right.

We lost that game and didnt deserve to win but it is ****ing unbelievable they gaslighted everyone and no one said a single thing about it. Some real mafia type corruption bullshit there

All of those are what ifs. None of them eventuated as painful as it was. If you can’t see the difference between those cases then there’s no point discussing it further

... it happened at Optus stadium against Carlton.

... it happened at Optus stadium against Carlton.

What happened? We made a big comeback and kicked a goal to take the lead with minute to go and got disallowed?

 

[s_wd6]

both of them are scenarios that actually happened that definitely changed the result of the game. Carlton were gifted an easier set shot to the wrong player which won them the game, and Hughes was robbed of a kick after the siren that would have drawn or won the game.

Adelaide had 90 seconds left after that incident. There was still enough time for both them or Sydney to kick another goal. It’s more of a what if than the other two scenarios. Plus Adelaide kicked 4.8 that quarter. Mostly have themselves to blame.

 

[Taylor]

We were in front, Carlton player had the ball kicked it clear out on the full as Tabs pushed him in the back. The ball crossed the line at about 55m out from goal.

Luke Ryan picks up the ball and moves back off the mark to take the kick, single Carlton player on the mark, up field umpire says no no, it's a carlton free kick for the push in the back... so they give Carton the kick where Luke Ryan was standing way off where the ball crossed the line and let a player who was nowhere near the thing take the kick after the siren to win the game - and he did.

I wasn't even talking about denying Freo a shot inside fifty after the siren to draw/win the game against North
