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

[GROTTO]

Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Drafting players isn't an exact science, it's more of a lottery. Every club has stories of hits and misses, regardless of the number the player was drafted.

Its more like probability.

Sure you can get a gun with any pick, but the probability is very low.

The higher the pick the more highly likely you will recruit a decent player but in means a lock, which is why high draft picks are well sought after.

It was the corona with lemons fault

Sorry about that

It was a joke, but seeing that you feel so strongly about the wedge of lemon in flavoured water I will tap out

Correct, I was just pointing out to the poster I replied to that there are always players taken later in drafts that turn out better than earlier picks, and that recruiters don't have a crystal ball.

Give me a good wheat beer any day.
Speaking of lemon, whack a small wedge in a stubbie of Pale on a hot summers day after some hard work, sensational.

Beer drinkers sound as high maintenance as coffee drinkers

Knarlin Ned gets a slab of beer and it turns into a marathon Brewers Convention

All good I was joking too !!

Yep one of the main brewers there is a good mate.

They have only done two brews of it the past year.


With the rise of craft beer, Southwark is struggling.


Also all Guiness sold in Australia is made there and it is rated one of the best outside of Ireland.

Fair enough, that was a genuine enquiry.

I have to say I don’t drink Southwark a lot, but then again there are very few places that sell it from what I have seen, as opposed to 20 years when it was readily available.

I take it that means that production of Guinness in Australia will also occur through Tooheys as well?

My mate reckons NZ.

Tooheys doesn't have the right equipment or knowledge.

jugged hare is a stew. Most famous as the great classical french dish: Le Lievre Royale, where the sauce is enriched with blood. Artery clogging but delicious

potting is a form of preserving, not unlike a terrine, where it is sealed in melted butter and chilled

There are a lot of beer w***ers around unfortunately. Some on here would probably say I am one. Beer like West End Draught, Tooheys and XXXX I have never liked, and would often drink either Coopers or some imported beers over them, and am still happy to drink. This was before drinking before craft beer.

Each to their own (beer). For myself, I agree with the ppl who say that all kinds of beer have their place. cheap and supposedly nasty beer is exactly what you (meaning I) want after hard work on a really hot day, as long as it is very cold.

David Noble taking the Old Crows philosophy over to North by making their pick 3 recruit Will Phillips the medical sub

Mods - why does this thread title contain a question mark... or just love rhetorical questions...

There must be at least 100 people at this clash of the Tasmanian teams

Tasmanians want their own team.

Swans like us, have lost that spark/quick movement of the 1st month.

 

[AmericanCrow]

Would appear they finally reached an agreement to air games on us tv

Tribe getting blown out tonight so was channel surfing and noticed the game was on

Swans v Pies I hope, rather than Hawks v North... though neither a great standard.

Yep Swans/Pies

So half their sponsors get upset and the other half fold?

Nice collapse by the magpies

 

[pjcrows]

A big Hawks win and a sneaky Pies win would be ideal.
