Opinion Non-Crows AFL 6: This Is Getting Cruel

[Geoffa32]

yeah true that..but I would love it if they dug in and said Georgiades had to be included in any trade..it would be worth it just to read the port supporter comments

WCE should just pick him up (Junior) in the PSD.

According to Rucci, Port apparently already have Dunkley's name on a Locker at Alberton.

If the mail is correct that he's going to Brisbane the aftermath is going to be hilarious.

i think he was taking the piss with that comment, he just came up with someone because he was being pressed

To be honest I haven't listened to it, I just saw it posted somewhere on Bigfooty.

No ....Rucci was serious about Dunkley to Port .....just didn't want to go into detail of why he was so confident

 

[George Kramer]

Yes I know, he didn’t want to state why he was confident and came up with the locker story, it was a bullshit story he came up with

 

[cleanhands]

Yeah, I’m not sure that’s entirely true.

Hird is a favourite son at Essendon. There’s a lot of Essendon people who don’t agree with what happened to him.

I’m not debating the merits or otherwise of bringing him back, just saying it wouldn’t be as unpopular as most people seem to think.

Maybe second time round he’ll do a better jab of it

Late edit: must have been a typo

 

[Slippery Pete]

Maybe somebody could post some dank memes?

 

[Scorpus]

Fremantle are real suckers for punishment

 

[Scorpus]

Ummm... it's probably because they are average and Fremantle have better players and lots of young talent to pay?

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

I’m loving this trade period already.

Media: player xx wants out. A future second rounder should do it.

Club: yeah get ****ed.

Strange they are digging in their heels over Lobb if they are upgrading him with Jackson.

 

[Crow till I die]

isn't this the guy that GC gave up their pick 11 priority pick to geelong for a late 20's pick to draft this guy. If so, what a monumental waste of the draft wrecking handout they were given. they should never be given draft freebies again if this was the player they picked after that horrendous pick trade as it shows really how little they care for picks

 

[spenze]

Essendon it again

Why do the dogs want him anyway?
Naughton, JUH, Darcy, Bruce and English already.

All the pressure is on the dogs, they've offered a big contract, enticed the player to come out publically, so now they have to do the deal even if means paying overs.

 

[Thetrader15]

Apparently after outside run...would Sholl be on their radar?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Particularly with Darcy.

There are plenty of other sides who need a forward/ruckman. Eg. Saints to team up with Marshall with Ryder retiring. Dees get someone to do a similar role to Jackson. Dons badly need someone. Etc.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Didn't Lobb try and get out last year as well?

 

[Crow_68]

Didn't Lobb try and get out last year as well?

He seems such an unlikeable character, reckon teammates get sick of him in a hurry.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Yes, but back to GWS.

Now he wants to head to Melbourne. Think his partner has already moved back there.

Sounds like someone has a front ended contract and is looking for the next payday

Last week I saw Hird claim that the issues at Essendon during his tenure were the result of "two bad men", I am guessing he's referring to Dank and The Weapon (Dean Robinson).

The fact that 10 years later that Hird still refuses to accept any culpability for what happned shows that he's learned nothing and should never coach again.

The sad thing is that he'll most probably get the job and a large portion of their supporter base will be overjoyed about it.

What is with the obsession (of some people) with making Hird Essendon coach again? He had a hand in the most disgraceful scandal of the AFL era - an entire AFL side getting BANNED by WADA for doping. Re-appointing him is a ridiculous idea. Just cut him loose and move on to another, untarnished coach.

Hanging onto the past seems to be an issue with Victorian clubs who can't accept that the days of buying VFL flags are over.

Playing at two AFL clubs is not ideal, but I can grudgingly accept it. Playing at three or more clubs means you're a mercenary or a spud.

AFL football is not like any other career. As a supporter I still respect old-fashioned club loyalty and playing for the jumper and your teammates.

 

[Rotayjay]

It would be if the media weren't cowards with how they cover Hird

The AFL and AFL media have always been piss weak whenever they talk about the Essendon doping program. It was systematic cheating and they talk about it like a tragic accident.
