Opinion 2018 Non-Crows #4: You say Potato, I say Portato (Cont in Part 5)

[Scorpus]

Apparently Geelong are "threadbare" in the ruck


Lol they're not threadbare, it's just the ones they have are shit. And they chose to trade for Smith and Stanley!

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Hannebery gone apparently.

 

[SuperBashBros]

Hannebery gone apparently.

We could definitely use this to our advantage. Swap their first for a couple of ours say 14 and 19. They can use 19 on Hannas and keep 14.

Is there some sort of rule that these footy writers have to verbally jerk each other off anytime they manage to get a rumour right? It's like so infrequent they can't help but brag. Go look at guys like Woj in the NBA and it's embarassing how clueless the AFL media are.

According to Tom Morris

Hang tight swannies. Don't give in unless it's a great deal.

Time these players start to honour their contracts and have some integrity

19 won't get it done

Paddy whacking is fun but at the end of the day he's set himself up nicely.

A brownlow medal
A house on the beach where he surfs
Married with children to the ruling class.
MillIon dollar media and gov sponsorship
Will get at least one more season playing out of geelong than here
Much more media attention and fame

All this doing the hard yards in Adelaide

Alpha males........

A fair bit of head wobble too

 

[Thetrader15]

I'm certain I've seen Betts do it on multiple occasions.

Also let's never forget the time Jarrad Waite received a free kick for kicking Otto in the love spuds.

Funny Michael Christian is commentating

 

[Thetrader15]

Haha what? That's one of the most mystifying calls I've ever seen

Not as bad as this one

 

[GreyCrow]

Not as bad as this one

Still have the old tv with the hole in the middle of it sitting in the back yard

 

[SaltPeter]

Not as bad as this one

Where's Phil Carmen when you need him?

 

[Scorpus]

Not as bad as this one

That decision made me furious. Only a cheat would make that call

 

[El Doederino]

Not as bad as this one

Nothing will ever beat Franklin getting a free kick for having Rutten in a head lock

 

[headache1]

People will lose their minds when/if Betts starts getting pinged for it.
It's only because Toby is a renowned thug that it has become an issue; the Dahlhaus kick got the ball rolling and now the pitch forks are out.

I don't recall Betts doing this...

No offence but we lambast Carlton flogs for ridiculous trade suggestions, do you honestly think Swans would take 19? No chance in hell

But Leigh (AFL Voice) Matthews said it was correct

 

[Squiba]

Betts frequently uses his sprigs to guard space or spring off the opposition. He just doesn't exaggerate it as much as Greene. Would be interesting if they bring a rule in for it if Betts would get pinged or not under the interpretation.

All I'm saying is, be careful what you wish for; the AFL screw most rule changes.

Swans are more interested in trading Hannebery to clear salary space it sounds like. He's still owed $2.5 million over the next 3 years, they're not getting pick 4 AND clearing that much salary off the books for a guy who hasn't looked that good in the last 2 years.

 

[Large 1]

Who has cash anymore.

I can pay for things with my watch.

My mates Rolex cant even do that.

I reckon it could pay for about $20k worth of things!

Thing is the Swans want him gone. Big difference. Has been very ordinary in the last 2 seasons and is on big dollars. Swans wont be trying to hold him to this contract.

Unless the Swans are still paying some of his salary, I think absolutely they would take pick 19.
The real madness here is that another club wants to offer Hannebery a longer contract on more money. Insane. Even if we were a basket case, if we offered big money and a long contract to Hannebery I'd be ropeable.

We shall see

Jebus!

yeh the COLA wasn’t the reason they could keep who they had and still go round poaching Franklins and Tippets.
