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

[Bay62]

You may regret that when Dangerfield is holding the premiership cup.

I don’t mind if he gets it. I’d rather that than Richmond again

Or the pear .

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Or the pear .

There's not many teams to barrack for

Dogs - Beveridge. Hell no
Cats - Dangerfield. Hell no x infinity plus one
Port - will have to leave town if this happens
Melb - Lever. See Cats

WCE and Richmond look done.

The clubs who might limp in to 8th won't win (Freo, St K, GWS, Ess)

That leaves Brisbane and Sydney. Slim pickings

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

JUH had 7 disposals, 1 mark, 1 tackle and no score. Meanwhile, on other debuts...

Lance Franklin: 6 disposals, 2 marks, 1 tackle, no score
Jack Riewoldt: 5 disposals, 2 marks, 2 tackles, no score
Jonathan Brown: 0 disposals, 0 marks, 1 tackle
Nick Riewoldt: 3 disposals, 1 mark no tackles, 1 behind
Josh Kennedy: 3 disposals, 2 marks, 1 tackle, no score

Not every KPF who doesn't have a TT-type debut is the next Jack Watts. JUH will be fine, people (not necessarily in this thread) almost seemingly want to see him fail for God knows what reason.

 

[Redline]

They beat Melbourne literally last week away from home and had to play a home game today at a ground they’ve never played out. I don’t rate him as a coach, but geez, they aren’t going that poorly.

Yeah fair call, the weeks a blur sometimes.

My preference;
Brisbane
Sydney
Then anyone but the pear !


I still think pear are a sneaky chance as they will finish in the 4. if they get their injured players back in Fanta , butters , dersma, Jones, Gray
anything can happen

think rocky and Hartlett are cooked .

Don't care about Lever winning a flag so would have Melbourne #2

All the other likely teams can get stuffed

 

[Redline]

That was at least 3+ years ago, that’s a long time to hold hate

I agree, not that I condone it any context but people forget Wawrinka had just left his wife and new born for Vekic who was much younger than him. So there was a bit more to it than just the history between Kokkinakis / Vekic.

But if Melbourne win we rise in clubs with longest flag drought rankings.

I don't care about that stuff, nor do I hate the bloke. I just find him to be a hypocrite with a lack of respect for his profession and fellow players and I do not understand why media give him any attention. Luckily it usually only for a week at most at two grand slams a year.

And that would be well deserved due to our club's horrendous mismanagement

 

[SugarShane]

Good lord. Quite daunting how quickly we've turned from contenders to "please keep the other useless perennial shit kickers below us."

 

[Tas]

You guys have it in the bag - no further discussion needed.

Perhaps, our form after the bye hasn't been too bad. While I don't expect to pass Crows (would take 3 wins to zip), I am not sure Hawthorn will legitimately try to win any more games from here on.

We play a few flaky sides like Eagles, Carlton, Essendon and on current form... Richmond with your mob in the last round. It is not that I think we are that good that we will pass anyone, I just have low confidence in a lot of the other teams apparently trying to make the top 8 with 6-7 wins for the year. I would be confident with Brad Scott's potato-filled squad of a few years ago of comfortably routing a fair chunk of the upcoming teams we are playing.

It is kind of depressing rebuilding during these times, it is no surprise Swans doing so well after a few years rebuilding, there aren't many good quality teams going around atm.

Unless your club really aren't fussed about pick 1 or getting Horne, I'd be surprised if they let themselves become open to climbing up - it's your time to make the most of things this year. The Hawks beating GWS was a bit of a surprise - opens them to climbing up a spot, maybe they'd be happy to get Callaghan/Roberts/..., will be interesting to see what happens with them the next few rounds.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Youtube live coverage of the Euro Football final. I'm assuming it's not on fox/free to air.

Italian defending on England's goal was hilariously shit.

I blame David Mackenzo

 

[FR0GGY]

It is a joke that Gold Coast have a priority pick this year. Should be taken off them.

Should be an easy phone call.
“Hey Gill, gold cost finished above us this year and last and they have a PP, where is ours?”

There are a lot of good players, I am sure the club will be happy with whomever we get, but there seems to be a much bigger drop-off between Daicos/Horne and the next group than there was last year, so far. Not sure if things will change.

But who knows, this time last year I thought we would get McDonald or Hollands.

 

[Sucka4Love]

Yes but the comeback was beautifully done, Forza Italia, it’s going Rome

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

England players too concerned with what colour hair dye they were all going to use after winning. Lesson learned you'd think

 

[FR0GGY]

Clean up on isle 5.
Take the covid soccer talk else where

That is a good thing as it shows our ****ing incompetence. We will be there with Saints and Carlton - two of the worst clubs in the AFL for shitness.

Also Freo, GC, GWS in never winning one. Personally, I hope Brisbane get up (but Hipwood going down makes that difficult)....all the other options make me feel a bit ill...

You don't need to worry about Richmond getting another one.
