Opinion Non-Crows AFL 6: This Is Getting Cruel

[cm_perfect]

The internet going mainstream kind of ruined it. I knew it was all over when the boomers discovered facebook.

The internet has a lot to answer for.

So we only got a “C” rating for our trade period given we lost Frampton (??) and weakened our 2023 draft hand (double ????).

Every AFL club's trade and free agency period graded

With the AFL free agency and trade period now over, and the draft just around the corner, ESPN expert Chris Doerre has analysed every club's dealings and delivered his individual grades.

Seriously, all these footy experts in the media, no matter whether it is radio, print etc have little or no idea.

Saints vs North @ Coober Pedy.

No
In my humble opinion there are 3 absolute character towns in our Country
These plebs don’t deserve to be near
Copper Pedy
Kalgoorlie and Charters Towers

Fair call. Marla then.

Apparently Sydney did better than we did even though the only trade they did was bringing in Aaron Francis.

Whoever wrote that article is a moron that doesn't know what he's talking about.

Didn't mind Doerre's opinion a few years ago, now he just chases clicks. No 'expert'

Wilcannia?

I wouldn't bother reading the opinion of someone permanently banned from BigFooty

It was the rain and mud. So it depends on the time of year.

Which is something the AFL will factor in for awarding games to Norwood in Magic Round.

Unless the AFL (or government if they’re lobbying for the round) tip some money in to resurface the ground.

If it’s early in the year they won’t have to worry about the ground

 

[George Kramer]

I remember hearing how he was another superstar and evidence that Port never lose on a draft pick

(Williams, that is)

Who from?

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Who from?

Old mate Bicks

 

[Maddogmetro]

Reports that AFL will look at tweaking the salary dump rules after the lopsided trade.

i.e. We changed the rules so Geelong could benefit hugely, didn't block the trade even though it was the most uneven trade in history, and now we will change it back so that nobody else can exploit it.

The whole thing is ****ing rigged.

Cook or Nullabor.

 

[Jcpdragonx]

There is nothing wrong with Chris' assessment of the Crows. We got a fair deal for Rankine, and also became weaker in the position we are the weakest in. B would best case assessment.

 

[Redline]

Can we try and not poke fun out of a player who's just been delisted?

Especially when it comes to Frederick boys as they're good friends of my son, so yes I'm biased!!!!

I think he was keen to let everyone know that he had kicked the winning goal that night. Which of course he hadn't. Unfortunately like Dursma and his arrow, when it doesn't come off opposition supporters are going to make fun at him. It's a tough industry.

Anyway good luck to him. Play on

Isnt the ground used for baseball over summer?

Or am I thinking 10 years ago.?

Shit I read that article today and laughed and didn’t realize it was that moron.

Yep, that's along time ago. The surface has held up well in recent times. This was just a unique year with so much rain and overuse of the oval.

Anyway I dont think they would use an SANFL Oval. My guess would be six at Adelaide Oval and three (including Crows, Port and one other) in the country.

Isn’t the whole idea that the games are all in the same place?

Having them in a country area would be pointless.

 

[Bay62]

The Saints problem is that, after all this time they’re so bad that anyone who wants to go there as CEO or President, and clean the place up and make them successful, is actually perpetuating the problem, because if they were a decent CEO or President they wouldn’t want to go there in the first place

Yeah your right, I am only guessing.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Wilcannia?

Not in SA. However, if the AFL hold the Magic Round in NSW, then by all means they can send them there.

Where the hell is the ruckus from the other Vic teams? How can the AFL get away with favouritism in a state that's as tribal about footy as Victoria and not get any backlash at all?
