2020 Non-Crows AFL Discussion Part 2

[Bay62]

Essendon

No Hurley
No Heppel
No hope

 

[AmericanCrow]

So much for my hope of 0-0 tie

Hate these clubs

 

[GROTTO]

Its going to take injuries during a game to stop Richmond in 2020.

They take their game to another level when someone tries to go toe to toe with them. Not to mention they have injured players to come back in.

Geelong do too

The government of Tasmania has already said they would underwrite it and they would easily get a supporter base. The afl are just being pig headed. NT could also do the same. They could split their home games between Alice and Darwin. They would be way more marketable than dead wood vic teams.

I think you're misunderstanding exactly how small both places are, and exactly how much the AFL just cares about finances. They would have moved teams if they genuinely thought the numbers stacked up. But Hobart is about a third of the size of the Gold Coast and Darwin is about a quarter.

Anyway, I'd love to see a Hobart team, but I think the reasons it doesn't happen is more complicated that the AFL just being campaigners.

 

[Mego Red]

I would rather the league was cut to 12 teams with the financially dependant ones either forced out or forced to merge..

So port, stkilda, north etc forced to merge with each other or with suns, gws..

Then 24 rounds with each team playing the same opponent twice. Once at home once away.

How are you imagining the loss of TV income affects the currently healthy clubs?

 

[Deaneus!]

Dangerfield is rubbish

 

[Mego Red]

Tassie has done themselves no favours with their ridiculous border restrictions. We won't have to worry about losing Jones to a Tas team anytime soon.

LOL - what a ridiculous thing to say.

 

[Scorpus]

Should have been 50 frees in this game already for incorrect disposal

 

[jackster83]

Umpires keeping Geelong in this.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Richmond just lost Soldo. Looks like a knee.

 

[BunjiMC]

If you tackle someone without the ball but don't give away a free. Does it Still count as a tackle?

 

[AmericanCrow]

I stick by my firm belief that surfer boy simply does not lift the level of his team when it matters.

Finals will be the answer this year, but from time he left to this evening the answer is:

underachieving

 

[GROTTO]

Geelong do too

Which big game players do the Cats have out?

 

[AmericanCrow]

Some guys are great talent—he is—but for whatever reason don’t add to a squads overall level.

Crows made GF without him, never with. Hell, got there beating his team.

Geelong has not even made an appearance

Cats will be desperate for another Mid like Crouch, its going to end very soon the elite talent on their list, all on the wrong side of 30.

When the fall comes, it will be sudden and fast.

They tend to buy their way out of falls like ours unfortunately

 

[AmericanCrow]

Those kids at halftime bits are great

Very cool

 

[jenny61_99]

Mine would've been under no illusions that I'd have done the same thing..... Except I wouldn't have dropped my yiros.

I’m a lucky mother. My kid doesn’t drink. Has never wanted to. Hates the smell of it. But with COVID, they haven’t been able to go out anyways. Poor bugger. He reckons he fit’s right in on a dance floor (pre COVID) because he looks like he’s drunk when he dances!

They did to the Eagles what the Blues did to us, made them pay massive overs for Kelly.

At least Kelly is an elite blue chip player.

Cats have a strong draft hand in 2020.

 

[AmericanCrow]

Stellar ball movement by the black and yellow

 

[AmericanCrow]

I will never understand the drop kick from that distance and angle

As an American it just strikes me as counterintuitive

 

[Scorpus]

1 goal in 2.5 quarters for Geelong is a preview of their finals appearances this year (like every year)

 

[AmericanCrow]

Is you know who playing the second half?

 

[AmericanCrow]

That is a sweet sweet outfit IF his pants were just as shiny
