AFLW 2024 - Round 8 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
Honestly I’ve never seen a fan so pleased to see their clubs primary trade target move to an opposition club. Especially weird given that it only happened because of the gross mismanagement of their marquee player.
yeah, because kissing away precious first rounders for a guy that isn't going to make any difference to winning a flag is a dumb list decision. So I'm super glad we missed out on him. Thanks Trac for being a narcissistic sook!
When you move to the Magpies after being stuck at the Temu Magpies all your careerThis is so funny to me because he essentially gets to wear the prison bars every match now
Only just occurred to me how the relationship with these clubs has been
Gonna be annoying seeing the pies have a 65m pinpoint kick belting it outside of D50
If you don’t understand the importance of precise ball movement out of the defensive 50 in todays game then you don’t really understand footy at all tbh.
where did I say that? can you show me? Sure, Houston is a good player. Is your comprehension that poor that you can't understand that its unwise for some clubs who are no where near the premiership window to chase a good player? Houston will be very good for 3 years. Meanwhile, you've got an aging list with Tasmania coming. And are now further away from winning a flag due to throwing valuable picks away. Something the dees avoided.
Back where you belong, near the bottom
I agree it’s about winning flags. Collingwood might have missed finals this year but they were also 2 games and percentage away from top 4. With two draws and a horrible injury run. They beat the team who became premiers at the end of the season and came within a whisker of beating the minor premiers at their home ground. They just addressed their two biggest deficiencies
I actually agree with you to a certain degree. If you think that Houston could make the difference between a flag and not winning a flag than thats fine. I don't agree that he makes that difference but if you do then I can understand why you're excited about Houston.
The only thing I took from this is that you have really no idea about where the Magpies list is actually at and are just parroting Kane Cornes.
yep. avoided the question again. duly noted.
Pies haven't finished bottom 8 since 2021
Cool, we can win it from there!
salty about what?...have you been living under a rock? This is a day of celebration for me. I wanted no part of Houston. Flagpies? Maybe make the finals first. lolOh how salty we are.
Flagpies 17
I was just responding to a guy that said I was salty for 'missing out' on Houston when I've been consistent for months that I wanted no part of him that's all. I wanted that on the record
The Port stripes are their tradition, good on them.
I think this trades kinda proves that Collingwood don't really need draft picks like other teams do, sure they will have to use more picks for their future F/S and academy (if they get bid on) But they have proven time and time again that they will always have players wanting to come to them so they will always be able to low ball. Mix that with decent recruiting from mid season trade/draft and normally getting decent returns from their departing players I just don't see them falling anytime soon.
Every chance they do fall away but if my club had just won a flag and the organisation felt they had another one there if they got a few quality players in I’d be all for it
9 players 32 years and older. They're going to be the next Richmond if they don't win a flag in the next 2 years with the amount that they've given away and the lack of young talent on their list.
If we win one it’s worth a rebuild. Rather that than keep getting top 5 picks and winning nothing like some clubs..
Exactly, even if you don’t it’s worth a throw at the stumps
I think Hawks have shown that hitting the draft can put you pretty quickly into premiership contention. But yeah, obviously if you win one, it's worth it.
