Opinion Non-Crows AFL 10

[BACCS]

Which 5 games do you see us winning?

The best I can see is St Kilda (assuming they don't pick up form), Western Bulldogs (assuming the shit version shows up), Port (only if they view it as a critical game) and Hawthorn (extremely unlikely). Maybe a guest appearance from Essington, but that doesn't seem likely at all (and them playing badly could probably still beat us).

Saints and Bulldogs don't travel super well, doubt we drop those if we have a few back by then. Hawks will be tough and Essendon matches at Marvel give me nightmares. Port have been shit against us recently, that's more likely than beating the Hawks at AO.

Probably win one or two unlikely games against good opponents just to really tease us.

8 or 9 wins for me, finish 14th or something. Nicks is sacked with a month to go.

So these are the 3 clubs the AFL should kill off, bring in Tassie & back to 16 teams.

30 games home & away.

Plus bigger list size if it's going to 30 games you need at least 50 on the list

 

[BACCS]

Genuinely can't understand why we can beat Carlton regularly, but not Essendon.

Bit like Freo beating Melbourne away the last 3 times, but struggle against most other teams away.

Gee imaging having De Koning instead of ROB…

Gee imaging having De Koning instead of ROB…

Rob is a good ruckman, when he isn't facing athletic ruckman who can jump.

[Kane McGoodwin]

So I see Jake Kelly is still a very stinky player

Now do they habe any interest in Murphy...

 

[jackster83]

This game really hasn't lived up to expectations.

The earlier game was a way hotter contest.

 

[BACCS]

Tsatas was a very highly rated mid heading into the 2022 draft, wtf has happened? Starts as sub a fair bit and couldn't make the distance from 40 metres before.

 

[BACCS]

Any chance of getting Pittonet out of Carlton now that De Koning is their preferred ruck?

Pretty big Bust already

 

[DJ75]

Is Laird the only player in the AFL that gets called for throwing the ball?

 

[ams4crows]

Is Laird the only player in the AFL that gets called for throwing the ball?

Yeah because he makes it so bloody obvious that he's throwing it

 

[Peter Doherty]

Just noticed Shane McAdam dropped...



On SM-A325F using BigFooty.com mobile app

Same weekend the McKay's play against each other McAdam and Johnson both omitted.

 

[jackster83]

Gresham is such a nothing player.

 

[MatthewB]

Plus bigger list size if it's going to 30 games you need at least 50 on the list

we would still use only 25 players

 

[DJ75]

Yeah because he makes it so bloody obvious that he's throwing it

I just watched game with 10 throws a minute. They were pretty obvious as well

 

[maxlilly]

I know we have cracks at our recruiting team (deservedly so), but Essendon’s use of first rounders is pretty ordinary:

2015: Darcy Parish, Aaron Francis
2016: Andrew McGrath
2017: Traded for Devon Smith
2018 & 2019: Traded for Dylan Shiel
2020: Nik Cox, Archie Perkins, Zach Reid
2021: Ben Hobbs
2022: Elijah Tsatas
2023: Nate Caddy

Would say there is not one elite player in that haul…..

I think that is pretty good drafting
Most of those guys are playing pretty good footy
I don't see the busts that Adelaide has

The bolded duo look like shocking value on paper, but Essendon actually came out alright, based on what those picks became.

GWS used the 2017 first rounder on Aiden Bonar, who only played 6 games for them (and was delisted by North last year).
GWS used the 2018 first rounder on Jye Caldwell, who got traded to Essendon anyway.
The 2019 first rounder was the biggest loss, as it ended up being used on Jason Horne-Francis Miles Bergman.

holding the ball was the correct decision...
what! We are more campaignered than I thought possible.

Boycot the AFL

 

[Lawrst]

Is Laird the only player in the AFL that gets called for throwing the ball?

No McHenry got done this week too.

How do you drag the ball in when you're in an up right position? It wasn't like he way laying down and dragged it under him? He dragged it back towards himself as he went to get up he was immediately tackled. There was no prior, what did they expect him to do? Not reach out and attempt to pick up the ball? Just sit there a watch some one take possession?

It was a ridiculous decision, the tackle on Wardlaw by Yeo was more holding the ball than Yeo ever was.

 

[Sanders]

Not according to my ladder predictor. We end up 14th, 3 wins ahead of Saints and 2.5 behind Hawks.

Don’t forget the priority pick that North will be gifted
