2017 Non Crows AFL Discussion Thread part 2

Why the hell do we have this shit on fta instead of the Derby?

When have we ever had the Derby on FTA? I swear it's always Foxtel coverage.

Why the hell do we have this shit on fta instead of the Derby?

Because they didn't pay enough for it.

 

[NikkiNoo]

I bet Sandi's two daughters' aren't afraid of heights!

Imagine if North never had Wayne Carey. He's the only thing that's kept them somewhat relevant the last 40 years.

Yeah, nah. They were a good club in the 90's. Carey didn't win all those games off his own boot.

 

[hey shorty]

He did win alot of them that way mind you

 

[Drummond]

I tipped North but what to see them done. Go Suns!

Anyone else reckon the Suns actually have some decent talent? I think if they get a good coach, another A grade midfielder, they could shoot up.

Now if they didn't have Bob Ansett's money, they really would have struggled through the 80's and 90's

Plenty of good talent, and some of it not playing tonight. Solid midfield, 2 star big forwards and a handy, if a bit injury prone defence.

they bought all the rights and sold half to foxtel...

 

[Red mist]

Say that again...
If you could start a team.
Cmon. They are the newest.

Rocket shouldn't be renewed.
North are reasonably shit.

Bit more in defense and someone to step up into Ablett's role or a nuggety inside extractor and they would have the personnel. Just need good coaching

 

[xchadders]

terrible match. terrible games all day, really.

Their skill level can be pretty ordinary a lot of the time, but they're a fun team to watch with some very entertaining players. I'd love to see them sneak into the 8 this year.

like essendon?

 

[NikkiNoo]

If by sold you mean Foxtel told them how much they were paying for the rights to show every game live and seven had to put in more than they did last time to match, then sure. The rights were sold to Foxtel, Seven and Telstra at an increase from $250 million per year to $418 million per year.

 

[Elite Crow]

We are going to beat North by 1000 points

Yeah, I think the worst thing for that club is to be competitive enough to keep Eade in the job. If they get belted enough that the AFL sends Clarko up there for $5m/ year, they make the finals next year.

 

[Footypie32]

Cause it doesn't clash...

No shit. So explain this...

 

[Drummond]

Love seeing Ablett play this well, beautiful stuff. Winding back the clock.

 

[skoobydoo]

Had to laugh at the Port Puffers at half time.

Charlie Dixon has 3 goals to half-time and the texts come flooding in. He'll kick 7, no he'll kick 8.

He managed another goal for the game. Against that "opposition", and I use that term advisedly.

#trainingrun

He didn't get a touch in the second half last week and they dominated the game!!

 

[hey shorty]

Brown can play a bit

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Why the hell do we have this shit on fta instead of the Derby?

The skills aren't great but it's a far better contest.

 

[On The Crouch]

West Coast are certainly enjoying being back at home.

 

[hey shorty]

Flat tracking it again.
