I hail from up QLD way and I was of that opinion at the time but wasn’t on big footy back then.
I like to think I get a lot right in my footy assessment but I was 100% WRONG.
I think I know the other poster you’re talking about too.
Dead set, we are lucky to one rung ahead of bombers in this category. The fact they have won a final this century has us behind them for success. I don’t think we should be slinging shit when we are just as bad….
We need about 20 blokes with just a little bit of ticka as we only have 2 - Cripps and Weiters.
New coach as well would be good. Match committee has lost us at least 6 games alone this year… TDK sub fmd. What a joke
Treloar’s hamstrings looked cooked at Pies but have come good at dogs. Just need the right expert to work with him and be will be fine.
Cez worth keeping. Not sure if/how we get Petracca but only worth it if we don’t sell the farm in the process and he accepts a salary drop.
Or just get it right like Hawthorn every 20 years…. I hate to say it but can see them ending up with 7-8 flags this century before we get one. Unless we mail this off season
Going by the ‘suspend him for being a
moron’ concept - 20% of all afl players should be rubbed out permanently… half of pies team would be done.
But 6 weeks is excessive but it is inline with the mainstream agenda at play so most of the followers will just agree.
Hogan on Young…. I think the afl does it to get media attention from the controversy. Cannot see any other valid reason for the obvious inconsistency. The only thing they are consistent at is being inconsistent.
4th rounders if I remember correctly.
Picks in 60-70 range and I think one of them got them Mitchell Lewis at pick 70 odd. The joke at the time was that they offloaded Mitchell and Lewis for late picks and then picked an unknown prospect who had their name sake.
Eagles would be cheering for...
Does anyone know where the ‘Michael Christian is a cheat’ page is?
Maynard gets off with his threatening to quit when he intentionally bumped Bradshaw. And they pull this one on us against Boyd when the player ducked straight into him and no injury. FMD seen it all now.
This is the most accurate post in the conversation so far. I never saw Big Nick play as I was born in 82 but my knowledge of our great club is that he was a big part of our modern success and he passed on the baton to others.
It is possible that we will refer to Cripps as Big Pat in generations...
Both of my sons - aged 10 and 6 said to me - who is the guy that gets so muddled and can’t speak? I responded, that’s a past brownlow medalist and not Ben Cousins…. They didn’t get it
Yeah maybe.
What if we judge him at end of the year..
Maybe he is pushing players to the limits and some have soft tissues along the way. But by finals, they are all at full conditioning and injuries are minimal?
Do we still question him then? If I recall correctly, we went into finals last...
I love Charles but if he was to go down, swing DeKoning forward and bring in Pitto. Still a reasonable outcome.
Weiters going down, we bring in Young….
Level of importance.
1. Weiters
2. Weiters
3. Weiters…..
Wasn’t far off. Pretty damning article that I had never seen. The poster if anything exaggerated it a bit but still a lot of what was said was just in the article.
Club needs to just tell the kids to go where they get picked for year one and then request trade to us the year later like Horne-Francis. Then we pay less a year later than what it cost them in the draft…
Clubs will soon stop bidding on F/S.
Maybe it’s time all clubs affected by this rubbish should team up and dump a truckload of manure on the steps of afl house….
A tigers supporter did it in disgust many years ago and although it took a few years, the club seemed to get the message and get their business in order…
This will get me banned I know… I dislike Richmond being a big rival of ours…. But I have seen very few games where the umpires have been so biased as tonight. Looked up the umpires and 2 of 3 are from S.A.
Wow.
Only in Adelaide this happens. 😂
I hope you don’t mind me commenting in here… but I honestly think Reid should get 0 weeks for a good hard fair tackle where he was a victim of circumstances of the opposition player’s momentum. I am a big believer of protecting the head having experienced multiple concussions in senior footy due...
It’s quite simple. We lack speed and our culture is soft. Playing Sydney shows a club with culture. We had it once and it is long gone. I would love to end up with egg on my face but I am confident our streak between cups will exceed Swans before 2005 and Melbourne before 2021. That’s the...
