Opinion Non-Crows AFL 11

[Mutineer]

No Crows players. Biased VFL shit...

Nope Gary Ayres Medal is for the best player in the AFL Finals, that team is based on the Finalists only.

So Oliver and Smith to Geelong now. Surely they're running out of farms and pubs by now.

Cotton On probably gave them franchises

That list is very accurate on which clubs should be in the elite national competition.

The bottom 9 clubs speak for themselves - they pay their own way.

Add in Sydney, Brisbane and Tassie to make it a 12 team elite competition - 22 rounds of home and away - An actual fair draw and better skilled games as the talent isn't spread so thin - win/win.

Drop the 7 clubs who are just burdens that add nothing but keep their hands out for more GC, GWS, Norf, Saints, Melbourne, Bullflogs and Port Powah.

They’re not entirely burdens though, their existence is directly tied to the value of the media rights. Some of the funding would equalise variation in marketing opportunity due to AFL fixture being geared to maximising rights revenue.

Well now, that’s not very nice.

It was a compliment, can you tell us more about the advantage we may have?

Well then I’ve completely missed that. Unless it was what I just read from jeffcrowe about helping him with his off field passion?

No, there’s that but also the fact that his significant other is besties with Cummings wife. Apparently one of the biggest problems with attracting players without an attachment to Adelaide (either from here originally or partner is), is getting their partners to also want to come here. I suspect Sloane accompanied Dawson when they met up with him recently to speak to that point. His and Belinda’s lifestyle in Adelaide, the opportunities Belinda has had etc. cost of living, standard of living.

I am fully expecting them to at the last minute when it looks like Houston won't get them what they want for pushing him out, another player with worth being told to look around. They are DESPERATE to get into this draft AND Draper is their primary target. I heard this a long way out from a couple of my Port mates who are in and around the club. Will be interesting to see if they can make it happen now if Houston ends up staying

They aren't getting draper without a top 3 pick. It isn't happening

I would be surprised. Port need forwards and defenders. Not sure adding another midfielder to an already elite midfield is going to take them to the next level if the rest of their squad is a turd.

Many people fear the not living in Melbourne or Sydney for there careers. There really has to be more education on it. For example, Zoom has all but taken the need out of having to live in the same state with many lucrative careers happening well away from the corporate offices. There is also the fact many business people commute the hour to Melbourne multiple times a week for business meetings so Im a little tired of the excuse Adelaide lacks opportunities. It really is a lazy lie.

Not to young men and women whose social lives are used to Sydney and Melbourne. Sleepy old Adelaide doesn’t cut the mustard for a lot of them. Adelaide is not a metropolis. It’s just a fact. Great place to raise a family. Great place to retire (for six months at any rate). But what is there to do for these upwardly mobile dinks? Regardless of what WE think about Adelaide, it’s the perception of these young folk forced to leave their families, friends and social lives to an unknown quantity, that matters.

Most of them are getting pissed and wouldnt recognise the room they were in after 2am

You can do the same flight to see any show you wish to

Watched Dixon on the backchat podcast, interestingly he hated it when he first came, now he’s going to stay here into retirement.
Bought a property up in stirling and loves it.
(Understand it’s not for everyone, but if people gave it a chance)

Loves his wine does Charlie, I often run into him at one of the wife and my favourite little spots in the hills.

He's a pretty good fella really.

Some of these AFL Clubs are going to get themselves in an aweful mess ....signing longterm Contracts for good players, not stars ....it's just going to backfire spectacularly

Surely, Oliver / Petracca is sending big enough warning signs

Yeah my nephew was neighbours in Parkside with Charlie for years before he moved to Sterling and said the same thing
