2021 Non-Crows AFL Discussion Part 1: we can have lots of fun!

[jackster83]

Whateley, I say this every year, he is as tabloid as they come but would be offended to hear it, arrogant flog.

He was just was talking about Collingwood, saying how it's overstated what Collingwood brought in last year. Goes on to say, they brought in 17, 19, 23. Very dismissive. Doesn't even name the players.

The Draft is so out of his wheelhouse. He knows nothing about the players selected, he has no idea how they will turn out, but already they are nothing and Collingwood are f’ed.

Henry, Macrae and McInnes was a pretty good haul on paper, even Poulter at 30 looks a good get.

Apparently the rebuild starts this year with Daicos.

He should be more worried about his beloved Geelong. Their gameplan looks like ours under the last 12 months of Pyke's reign.

I was in the Humphrey intro for a number of seasons.

I take a pretty good grab then pass the ball to the bear himself.

Entered a competition to name Humphrey, who was originally just Bear Bear (hence Humphrey B Bear) Didn't win damn.

What was your entry? Humbert Humbert?

God you've got a memory on you! Might have been, might have been Fairweather, I don't recall.

you mean you haven’t been in therapy to cope with the trauma of winky dink regression memory

Crisp!

Though you should be on a register for that Rorschach association

Port starting up rumours they'll get Zach Merrett as a FA next year.

Ohh you didn’t.


You did!

 

[MarcusP2]

There's a reference to date someone.

Smashed mettwurst and sauce sandwiches every day until that happened. Not sure I've had one since.

Agree completely but the Vic clubs would shut it down quicker than Garabaldi.
Would be a fun ride though.

You mean this Guy? Hubert Horatio Humphrey - vice president to Lyndon Johnson.
I think he won the comp.

Glory be, another missing piece.

Recruiting a player for any other reason than you expect them to get you closer to a premiership doesn't make sense to you?

Which flog started this rumour? Kane? Tredders?

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Tredders. Getting fed rubbish by agents and can't help himself.

Talks about all the cap space Port have, but nothing of the extra $1m-plus they will need to find to keep Rozee, Butters and Dursma, who are still being paid based on contracts signed after only playing a handful of games.

Port Powah have a long history of recruiting for "name" rather than need. This is what is meant when it's another puzzle piece for Port. Its their marketing spin for their members "Fwoarrrr, look who we got now"

For example getting Rockliff when you have already have Boak, Wines & PP in that role.

When Rocky arrived they pushed Boak to the forward line where he had his worst season. Rockliff was no way what they needed it was purely a marketing exercise "OMG Rockliff wanted to come to us".

+1

Correct weight.

Lets also not forget Ryder too and Motslops the best of them.

It was recruit Ryder, then trade lobbe and pay him at Carlton, recruit Lycett then trade Ryder because that didn’t work.

Good point, Lobbe had a career best year, they re-sign him on a four year deal, they then recruit Ryder to play as a key forward alongside Dixon.

The whole comp knew Ryder wasn't a key forward, his best work is as a ruckman. Powah finally realise this, move Ryder to ruck, Lobbes form drops, then he's dropped, then he's traded because they are paying big dollars to two lead rucks.

Once again recruiting Ryder was nothing about needs and all about marketing for the masses, seems to have worked on a few in here.

Same can be said about Fantasia, Rozee is a much dangerous forward then him and clearly he isn't ready to play in the midfield for a few more years.

A get this rubbish thrown in my face by a Power supporter - “Orazio could have come to two teams in this State, he chose us”.

I just respond with how are Watts, Rockliff, Ryder and Polec going? Followed by each was a missing piece and what have you got - no grand finals, one preliminary final in a compromised season since 2014?

Both Orazio and Allir aren’t going to be the solutions either.
