2021 Non-Crows AFL Talk 2: are the VFL corrupt?

[RoweyThePainter]

he has acute myeloid leukaemia

Poor man. I remember him as coach of the mighty Woodville Warriors.

My son had acute lymphoblastic.

Did Eddie just say the Dogs have this game by the ‘scrote’? Wowsers.

 

[treeman]

Did anyone see that throw by the Bulldogs in the middle?
How was that not called?

Surely you’re not surprised by what comes out of his mouth?

I assume he has a form of cancer. My 4 year old son died of leukemia in 2019. It is a hideous beast of a disease. You would not wish it or the treatment on your worst enemy.

Very sorry to hear that mate, devastating for one so young. Much sympathy to you

That’s like looking for a needle in a pile of needles.

Thankyou. He was braver than I could ever be.

 

[Bay62]

Thankyou. He was braver than I could ever be.

Yeah amazing what little kids can do sometimes. I’m sure he inspires you

 

[cleanhands]

Thankyou. He was braver than I could ever be.

They all are

Strong performance by the Dogs here. Any chance Freo had went off with Fyfe

Plus their ruck and CHB all in the same minute

How pathetic have Australians become to take photos of this and post them? Wow.

Just pointing out the hypocrisy.

the latest rule change in regards to “handballs” is a complete and utter farce and some of the players are taking full advantage of it. I reacon C Oliver is one of the best players running around at the moment but **** me some of his “handball” attempts are just simply taking the piss.

I know if you disagree with me, I’ve got nothing to worry about.

How hard was it to call a throw, it’s was almost the easiest rule to adjudicate.

Wishing Russell and his family all the strength

I changed my tip to Carlton with less than a minute to go to match the bookies

How can they still be this bad after 20 years of rebuilds?

If they lose today, they’re on equal wins with us, and there’s a big argument we should have 1 or 2 more

It’s insulting to the clubs who try

I threw 100 on Eagles a few hours before the game. I rarely/never bet ...on anything...but this had CarLOLton written all over it. Eagles - massive outs and travelling pretty rough. Carlton - beat Hawks, push Swans, looking likely winners. In the end? - so Carlton like.

Also, I was spurred on to do so because I bet on Collingwood, just knowing that Crows being favourite with Collingwood travelling pretty rough and injured, we would blow the game...as we did. So Crow like.

So that’s my betting for the year. Always choose the certainty.

The AFL have set the precedent. That has to be a $50k fine for Collingwood.

Quite a few images of various AFL players not wearing masks properly. Time to start handing out the fines AFL

Time to send those photos to AFL. I have. I kid you not.

Good punting!.

the pies game was always gonna be a danger game for us..

And within the first five minutes i remember thinking “here we go again”.. you could just see from the outset that we’d turned up with the wrong attitude and mindset.

They got the jump on us and we went straight into panic mode and played utterly rubbish football... turnovers, basic skill errors, fumbles, poor decisions, kicks in hope... all signs of players being ill prepared and in the wrong mindset.

We arrogantly turned up thinking we already had it in the bag because hey, we beat the top team at home a couple of weeks prior so a bottom team should be a cake walk, right?..

So we got the slap down we deserved and its a real worry that Nicksy obviously isnt a good enough coach yet to see that coming and plan for it. Hopefully he learns from it.

 

[footy4ever]

Just pointing out the hypocrisy.

Which is why I’ll keep emailing them to the corrupt VFL

Good thing for Don he doesn't have to worry about that side of it anymore.

 

[hey shorty]

He was always very good at the other stuff.

Since 2001, Carlton have won more spoons than they have appeared in finals series.

And yet they get gifted the season opener every year. Seems deserved...

 

[1970crow]

I get the traditional games, but that one I just don't get at all.

Would be good to see the preliminary finalists kick of the season's 1st 2 games on Thursday & Friday nights as a blockbuster start to the season.
