2016 Non-Crows AFL Discussion - Cont. in Part 2 (link in OP)

[Sanders]

$371 million land and assets parcel with 80% to go to the Chinese. It's just too big for the national interest. They'll have to break it down and get more Australian investors taking a larger chunk.

Gui throwing money at Port was a blatant ploy to get state labor government support in his bid to acquire S Kidman & Co

I'm mostly concerned with Chinese commercial interests getting control over our rangeland beef stocks and the price of steak going through the roof

He didn't throw one red cent.

It was all non/binding promises maybe, if the stars align type stuff

 

[MRB37]

Early days but Bullies backline might have the same problem we did in Round 1.

 

[TrainRoo32]

Gonna see a shootout tonight, Friday nights starting to deliver again.

Ur gonna get that, when Carlton isn't on 25% of the time!

Port will get a swift lesson on the value of a MOU in Chinese business.

 

[Huntercrow]

Only early but could be a classic

 

[hey shorty]

Spud is a good nickname for Firrito

 

[GROTTO]

Early days but Bullies backline might have the same problem we did in Round 1.

Ours was self inflected on Thursday selection night.

VB in and no Hartigan hurt us that Saturday night.

 

[Elite Crow]

Petrie just got done holding the ball for far less than Smith got away with

 

[Huntercrow]

Just hope the umpires are chilling

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Can't believe GWS have access to another 9 players from their academy this year, 5 of whom many recruiters believe are in the top 25 according to Barrett. Many of these academy players are from footy heartlands as well, which is entirely against the point of an academy in a non dominated AFL state. A team that already has 25 first round picks on its list and another 10 pre-listed 17 year olds, never mind the 'mini draft picks' they had. **** that, and thankfully every other club (besides GC of course) are kicking up a stink about it.

Might also lead to further opportunities to target some of their fringe players as they will be after later picks for academy points.

 

[TrainRoo32]

Does anyone have a passionate hate for Norf? I don't know why but I can't ****en stand em!
Might have to do something with Thompson and Petrie and Thomas

 

[hey shorty]

He was in his forward 50. If Isaac was in the same area on the ground he would've got pinged too. Umps don't have the balls to pay them in defensive 50...... against Hawthorn

Definitely one of my more hated teams.

How are you not including Lindsay Thomas in this conversation? He's a ****head.

 

[hey shorty]

Thomas with 2 dives already

I can't stand Harvey. Petrie is very average.

 

[Sanders]

Wouldn't surprise me if Port never see a cent of that money and the game next year is canned now.

There is no game next year. There are no promises, no commitment, no ground or schedule

The AFL have said if you can sort everything we'll give you a game.

Nothing is near sorted or ever will be in this scheme

Nothing more than a big circle jerkery game of What If?

 

[Sam_Malone]

How long did that "east west" thing by the umpire last?

Have not heard it yet tonight.

 

[Huntercrow]

Dogs a bit fumbly in defense....looks familiar

 

[pjcrows]

Lindsay Thomas FFS. Looks for a free before he even has the ball. Some players are good at reading the play - he's good at reading the fake.

 

[Huntercrow]

Friday night Jitters

 

[adelaidecrows]

Does anyone else think Swiss have done themselves no favours by aligning themselves and their advertising with just one AFL team?

 

[pjcrows]

Haha that's gone about 6 metres.

 

[Huntercrow]

Is that 15???

 

[jenny61_99]

15 metres just got a whole lot shorter!
