2015 Non-Crows AFL Discussion - Pt. 1

[Don Muraco]

We need to start by beating Brisbane. Nothing else matters right now. Lose that we are all but sunk.

The other thing is some of these lower teams could cause some upsets in the latter half of the year. Gold Coast and Brisbane will be stronger with players returning, St Kilda are going ok and Carlton are lifting. That could mean one less win may get a team sneaking in.

I'm thinking some of the lower teams may have one eye on the upcoming draft. (like this )

Were Carlton bottom before the game today?

Were Carlton bottom before the game today?

Yes

 

[Rotayjay]

I've been busy again, but I heard the result and just dropping in for a laugh ... #lolport

 

[fabs33]

Yes

Twice in one season! For a side that went into the season aiming for a premiership that's impressive.

 

[Scorpus]

Goldstein finishes with 80 hitouts! 27 hitouts to advantage!

So that's two records broken. And records set by Sandilands

Insane! That's 3 times in one year the record has been broke!

 

[Kerleys Ghost]

Did Hinkley actually go on radio and say "put your seat belts on" before the game?

He must have been referring to the car crash that was about to take place.

Anyone hear this? I just read it on AFL.com

You'd think they would learn not to talk it up. It just compounds the embarrassment of failure.

Watched a country footy match today, most of them were Carlton supporters...we had a good time.

They did lose right, I got smasheshed...?

I listened to my neighbours from all the way up here where they gather and clog up the quiet normal area. Their loud stuff dissipated..... I just turned my outdoor TV biggie up to mass volume.

 

[spenze]

Port can't make the eight now

Because it is far too late
to make the final eight
They are history for another season
They are the players from Port
They are worse than they thought
And they said
Matt Primus was the reason

That is great work

We've got massive injuries. Oh piss off you inept excuses for human beings.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

No Mumford, No GWS

Will cost them finals.

Like gold coast & Gazza last year.

Like gold coast & Gazza last year.

A huge void that won't be filled just yet.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Schulz's career hit the wall even faster than anticipated. I thought he'd at least be serviceable through to end of 2016.

Using their first two draft picks and 750k on another ruckman instead of pitching for a KPF is gonna really really hurt the power going forward.

Shambolic forward planning not to get in Schulz's replacement while they had time. They literally put all their eggs in the 2015 basket and it has backfired spectacularly.

Combined with the failure if the future.

I have been saying all year they need to play trengrove at chf.

 

[Pugsley]

Brisbane, the aim is to go forward

Best gif I've seen in a long time

They should make a bid for Tippett.

Their salary cap is full so can't afford tippett

Won some cash on him today. Very happy.

 

[Scorpus]

It's pretty damn quiet at Etihad tonight. If you were a Dogs supporter, why wouldn't you show up when your team is playing the bad Brisbane?

 

[CrowinNT]

I listened to my neighbours from all the way up here where they gather and clog up the quiet normal area. Their loud stuff dissipated..... I just turned my outdoor TV biggie up to mass volume.

They turned their big TV off (like at matches leaving the ground at half time or not even getting there in the first place) Seriously now they are playing some war games on a console. Kicked the empty dog dishes and being totally feral .

 

[Magma]

always a shame to see htb decisions like that. game penalises the attacker way too much these days. why not just sit back and tackle

 

[Don Muraco]

Their salary cap is full so can't afford tippett

Could get him a second job at Balfours Ala Judd. (Or the TAB with Tippo's tips)

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Might get back to the "old" Sergeant Schulz quickly if they give him the money he wants for his contract.......BUT Paddy Ryder got all the Sergeant's money didn't he!!

Shouldn't Schultz be gunning it in the last year of his contract given some think that is the reason why danger is playing well... Even though he plays well every season!

Yep, not great for team dynamics when players are paid above their worth for their role in the team.
