Opinion Non-Crows AFL 4: The Centre Cannot Hold

[Shuestar13]

If you were anymore undermanned, you would have had to send in an amateur side.

Unfortunately… today was probably the strongest team we put out for the year (on paper)
On paper doesn’t translate into reality sadly.

I think it's just hard work now.

The amount of players who've got covid in the same week, it will affect them all for longer than the 14 days, some worse than others.

When the losses mount it's hard to keep backing up.

Cripps very aggressive to the umpire there.

Called him everything under the sun but kept his arms down - play on

Was it my eyes deceiving me or did simpson have a pen and contract with him as he was walking towards georgiades ...imagine getting pick 1 or 2 in this injury interrupted season and nabbing georgiades when he is ooc...fast track that rebuild

I fell asleep at quarter time of the Port match. How is the board coping?

Hmm, that is a very nice prospect indeed. If only haha.
We certainly will have some ample salary cap space being freed up. Sadly it seems we are going all in for English from WB. But who knows. The main priority is the midfield tbh. Interesting times ahead.

Not usually one for online harassment, but get this f***er

If it makes you feel better Tim Baxter stole rate payers money as deputy mayor to run personal trips on a public Myka Card. Apparently he used it 600 times and topped it up with rate payors money, only to claim he confused it for his own Myka card. So much for Mr Perfect.

 

[GameofSloanes]

Anyone know what the crowd was at Adelaide Oval? Does this not get reported anywhere any more?

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Carlton still have way too many passengers to be a contender. Newnes, Setterfield, Fisher and Cottrell are all as bog average as it gets. They're very similar to their 2009-11 team, their top 5 is almost as good as any team's, but their depth holds them back from taking the next step.

Fox Footy reporting that Tex could potentially have 9 Brownlow Votes and potentially leading the count.

Lets also not forget, just how much "talent" they have recruited over the years and failed.

They were damn lucky to get Curnow and Cripps too. Cant believe so many teams overlooked Cripps.

 

[ABAB]

Rozee will be fine imo. Everything he does is fast and effective. I don't think he's as soft a everyone says, he just picks and chooses when to go. Iron that out and he'll be a gun.

Very difficult mindset to address though and he wasn't soft when he played HB in his draft year at the SANFL level so only started to play like this in the last few years.

 

[ABAB]

Feeling pretty pissed that we didn't beat Freo, we bloody should have, definitely let that one slip through our fingers

Probably didn't deserve given we only played 1 quarter of football that day and they had a lot more shot on goal.

West Coast need to target him or McDonald, Kennedy and Darling are both cooked.

Carlton have no turnover game so if the lose clearances they are in real trouble

I heard Kern say 28k in his presser

Genuine question; Anyone know what’s happened to Sinn? Not getting a game for the pear.

I was thinking..

Tex about to turn 32.

How many genuine key-position forwards through the ages have played this well at that age?

Buddy Franklin and Hawkins if we are talking about modern day full forwards.

Of the 500 goal kickers in AFL history, quite a few were contributing at 32

Alistair Lynch, both Riewoldts, Matthew Pavlich, Tom Hawkins, Lance Franklin, Josh Kennedy, Matthew Richardson, Barry Hall... all 40+ goal forwards at 32 years old

You can go back further of course to the Lockett, Dunstall, Ablett era where they too were still kicking bags in their early to mid 30s

 

[ABAB]

Yeah, "only" 2 games or 33% of the total games games played outside the 8 which is actually quite a lot.....damn, they are really deluded other there.

Buckley, with a wry smile, about Port - “Yeah, but it was a soft kill”

Was it ever!

Needs to put Cr in front of his name. Tells you there's a w***er there all right.
