Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion

[Forward Press]

O’Neill now becomes the third former WCE No.24 to become involved with Essendon after Worsfold and Rosa

Out of curiosity, who else wore number 24 for us?

Out of curiosity, who else wore number 24 for us?

In an actual game, Luke Partington and Phil Read

Nobody else

There might have been others given 24 that didn’t play league

Odds on tricky Ricky was trying to pull a swifty. Looks like it's a bit harder to **** Sam Newman than it is to **** a schoolgirl

 

[WCE_Phill]

Looks like he ran out of feathers

Looks like he ran out of feathers

Likely he's just getting his role streamlined.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Streamlined right out the door

 

[UseR2006]

LOL They created a new role just for him "the executive general manager of Football Talent, Strategy and Special Projects"
Sounds like a bunch of nonsense. Probably just didn't want to sack him so quietly moved him to a new role that does SFA all will eventually just move him out when he's had enough.

Yeah no way that just sack one of the biggest names in their history.

Smart move to shift him, isn't it feathers that the player's manager fella doesn't like ?

Old Slyce retiring although that hasn’t come directly from him

While Lycett has not publicly confirmed his intentions, the Power said the premiership ruckman “has indicated to the club he will retire”.

And FRO Kern

“He was an incredible workhorse for our club during the last five seasons and was totally focussed on putting his teammates first. As a former Port Adelaide junior, Scott was Port Adelaide through and through and we thank him for his passion and commitment to our club.

He’s a WCE man. Played more games for us too

We made a very good call not to squeeze the salary cap further to keep him. Handy player but not worth the cash Port were prepared to pay. Also had the same unfortunate durability problems like a lot of our players around his age.

Also has a tattoo of the Eagles logo, not the Port logo, because of that premiership he played in for us. To clarify things for Ken, a premiership is something you get for winning the grand final, which is a game you play in when you don't choke in finals.

Shades of Lyon announcing a player's retirement before the player had the chance - the player concerned escapes me though.

I would have loved to keep him beyond 2018 but agree with this

Pretty sure he did it to someone at Freo too

 

[Truckosaurus]

At Freo he announced some delistings before the players were told, yes.

The McClelland trophy is the award that no-one knows what to do with. Used to be awarded for the minor premiership, but no-one cared as all that counts is the actual premiership.

Earlier this year the AFL announced the current ham fisted idea to award it for the team with the best combined finish with AFL and AFLW. Predictably, there are some obvious flaws that have been revealed:
-no one asked for a combination and the two leagues are treated very differently by fans (as they are completely separate competitions with different rules)
-AFLW plays far less games than AFL, meaning they need a debatable conversion system (games are worth double for AFLW)
-AFLW is a far inferior level of competition, so it feels wrong to weigh it higher than AFL

A million reasons to smile: Dees crowned best club in the land

Melbourne is officially the best performed club across both AFL and AFLW in 2023, with the Demons officially named winners of the McClelland Trophy

How do you figure AFLW wins are weighted higher than AFL wins? Basically a club can't win unless its men's team performs well.

 

[Rowan18]

How do you figure AFLW wins are weighted higher than AFL wins? Basically a club can't win unless its men's team performs well.

That's the formula the AFL used, because they played less games.

I think the issue is trying to combine separate leagues. It's as pointless as trying to throw the seconds teams in too (WAFL/VFL/SANFL).

The premierships are what people care about. Probably better to kill off the McClellan altogether.

 

[Cuzz09]

Yeah no one cares.

Better off giving whoever finishes top in each comp $500k

I thought it used to be a bigger combined cash bonus for 1st and premiership?
