Opinion Non-Crows AFL 6: This Is Getting Cruel

[Bearded Clam]

You know I find it funny how when Trigger13 commented about how good the Port midfield is some call him a Port supporter, At first my anti-Port hackles went up but he was not wrong in his assessment, The Problem I have is After I read the above statement, I paid more attention to the support the Port Midfield comments and notice that notable Crows BF supporters were praising the Port Midfielders and slamming the Crows midfield, saying the same things as Trigger did some even going further.

Yet only one person is singled out as being a non-crows supporter. Are we all becoming Followers and not independent thinkers and supporters,

this isn’t the first time with Trigger13 though…

its been bought up a few times now..

some consistent very high praise for the power even when they are travelling poorly..

who knows.. there’s definitely been some powa flogs with burner accounts pretending to be crow supporters in here in the past.. is trigger one?.. I don’t know and ultimately really won’t lose any sleep over it.

Pretty sure Grant Thomas was sacked for Ross Lyon after St Kilda made top 4.

Yeah I missed that one.


Him and Northy since the mid 90s.

You have him quaking Carmo

If I'm so un-scary why do you have to chime in? Let him fight his own battles.

So that's a yes he'll do it then? Post in the prediction thread?

Way too early to give up on Pedlar.

He hasn't even played a full AFL season yet.

Should correct that and add that this would be his first complete Preseason,
The kid has the talent to burn, just needs to sustain his fitness and game time, not ready for full-time Mid, but another full preseason and 2024 could be his year
Hopefully, we will see him playing some Midfield time later in the year, Just to Show some on BF how good he is.

He has said nothing worse than what I have read from other more notable BF crows followers. And yet he is the only one who has offered to show his membership card and Number,

I think I like Pickett even more now

Wait til he’s doing it in showdowns. For them.

 

[whattagun07]

I know there are always overreactions after 1 round of footy, but unfortunately, Port will be playing finals this year. Any chance they have of missing will ride on us snagging two Showdowns.

Brisbane would have probably made our young mids look alright yesterday too. It was a shambolic lack of pressure by them.

We do need to find that A+ grade midfielder from somewhere - we probably needed to try harder for Phillipou last year.

Phillipou was the one and I don't for one second believe we couldn't have landed him and used a future first for Rankine. A 190cm classy af, balanced goal kicking midfielder from S.A. that we just let slip right from our grasp. We let Gold Coast get the better of us, the worst trading team since early Freo.

Hopefully they are smart enough to be keeping an eye on this kid because you can guarantee Port are.

As it stands today our midfield is still bottom 6, if we exclude Rankins and Rachele. There's alot riding on these 2 being able to have an impact in the midfield.

 

[Southerntakeover]

I'd probably agree with that. You can't be 'one of the worst ran orgs in all of professional sport' when you're 6th worst in your league, though

Two of those teams have won premierships more recently than we have.

We're bragging about ladder ascending with a core that could never win a premiership. Just how long does the premiership drought have to get for people to think there's a problem?

 

[The Perfect Stranger]

I hope you are right. I'm concerned about his fitness/regular injury.

 

[The Perfect Stranger]

Prefer Laird.

It would be interesting to poll supporters, other than Crows and Port, as to who they would choose if they had a choice.

Militantly pissant.

Oh no, not a 'battle' to fight, I've been called out to spend time in the dork threads writing pointless lists, whatever will I do.

I reckon most in the industry would disagree with you. I hope our football dept disagree with you because if they don't, and they are patting themselves on the back "job done", then we are in for a decade of pain.

Well, they haven't been keeping an eye on our developing midfield Soligo is only starting to get mentioned in the media even in SA and Berry been has started to get mention in Victoria but both are a few years behind Rozee and Butters development. They also don't know Rachele can transition in the midfield as he has played there in his draft year and so has Rankine

 

[Southerntakeover]

Everyone in the planet is deluded except our two biggest board shills

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Surely not?

Imagine coming back to your hometown, playing a blinder and winning the game off your own boot in the premiership quarter, getting a front page headline, only for the paper to mistake you for a depth player.

Welcome to Adelaide Jason. No matter how well you’re going, you’ll never be a star in this town playing for the other team.

Laird was overwhelmingly voted as very underrated when he was listed in the top 50 AF players.

We under estimate Laird massively.

If doing an all time crows team he’d be in a shout for the third midfield spot with Roo and Goodwin

 

[cm_perfect]

Credit to Port and JHF. They look like they’re on track.

But this is just embarrassing.

That’s terrible but fits well with what my circle have been calling him.. Jason Corne-Francis.

We should be pinning our hopes on Rachele, Rankine and Pedlar because without them our midfield is bottom 6. It's going to be interesting to see how many midfield minutes these guys get over the next month.

I've always saw him as solid B+ grader but can be an A grader if he continue those inside 50m dart pass he demonstrate in the preseason. While other have him as B grader, you don't get named AA as a back pocket and nominated in AA squad as a midfield if you are just a B grader lol.

Oh my god. That's so awful a take. Stop posting immediately.
