Opinion Non-Crows AFL 6: This Is Getting Cruel

[Golumless]

I thought at the time it was more Luko thank Rankine, did we make some big offer to the Suns for their Pick 2?

We'd have bitten Gold Coast hands off for either of them. I can't remember if we did or it got nixed beforehand.

Looks like Kenny has gone from Coke Zero to straight Coke over summer.

Thats some gut.

This is what Kenny will need in the coach’s box on gameday… supposedly relieves nausea and vomiting
Poort’s performance.. enough to make him sick..

My recollection was that we were keen on lukosius

I’m not bullish on Richmond like most commentators.

Think I had them finishing 9th at the end of the minor round.

On the flip side, Melbourne look very slick. Grundy is going to be a valuable asset for them up forward where they lacked last year.

Can only see Collingwood regretting offloading Grundy, just seems very short sighted

I thought their plan was to play Gawn mostly up forward & Grundy in ruck... as wanting to extend Gawn's playing career?

Think they were talking of something like a 70/30 Grundy/Gawn ruck split.

You would have thought a Grundy/Cameron ruck/forward combo would have been better than the Texan...

Gawn more valuable behind the ball I reckon.

Of the two sides in last years top 8, I reckon both Collingwood and Richmond are most likely to miss.

Geelong, Melbourne, Brisbane, Fremantle, Sydney are locks as far as I’m concerned.

The issue then becomes who replaces them - Carlton but who else?

Cotchin once again being a dirty prick and shoving his forearm into the head of Melbourne player on the ground

How surprising.

Now will it get looked out by match review?

Wrong - the Melbourne player headbutted Cotchins arm

Not sure Fremantle are a lock... they are like the Pies where could easily go either way.

Imo, Richmond will make the finals.

That's not how they sold it to Grundy to get him to the Dees.

Goodwin & Gawn sat down with him & mentioned Gawn is willing to give up most ruck duties to extend his career.

I understand that, just reckon gawn is wasted up forward.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

It will be interesting to watch if Gawn struggles to make impact up forward.

I have tipped the Dees to not make finals as I suspect their forward line may struggle.

One of the better ranked teams is likely to miss finals.

I think Freo could be wobbly. They lost a lot of players - Acres, Lobb, Mundy, Logue and Tucker all played significant games for them last year. At the very least their depth may get tested this year

Their best 22 is good... but they traded out their depth, so if they get some injuries, they miss imo.

I feel similar about Freo, they're far from being a lock for the 8.

I think they could finish anywhere from 6-10.

In my ladder predictions they most probably won't be in my Top 8

I thought the Suns and Port were good chances of making the lower part of the 8, but both have looked shit in the pre-season. Still might not mean much, but it's made me re-think a bit. The sides I'm confident that are no chance of making it are North, Hawthorn, Essendon, West Coast and St Kilda.

He might be comfort eating friend. The “stress” of it all. I really hope our Ken stays strong. I know he can survive!

Will be a VERY unpopular thought, but crazily I think they’ll win Round 1

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

I’m really forward to old mate Cornes-Francis squeeming all season polishing the Stinkley turd.

I think for them to get value out of the trade it really comes down to how much impact either player can make up forward. If they can snag a couple of goals each game (combined) that's a win. Otherwise who cares if you win the tap outs when you're opposition ruck is resting.

Surely will still make finals. Grawn, Grundy, Trac, Oliver, Langdon, Hunter, Brown, Kossie, May, Lever etc Then you have the coach and staff who know what it takes to win it all.

I accidentally hit the 'Gift' option instead of like and saw you can pay $3,000 to permanently ban someone.

Is this for real??
