Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2023

[armpit]

There was always the danger that after their hard fought win last week that they'd tire.

 

[Purple Jesus]

Cerra has the turning circle of my Model Y.

 

[BeinPurplenGreen]

Crows move the ball the length of the ground at ease. Drooool.

And it is such a gorgeous ground too.

I was sceptical years ago when they announced the upgrade but jeez it works well, great place for footy.

 

[wakojako]

Well that was short lived

 

[Jeba]

Amazing how different the holding of a fwd is interpreted each game

 

[DQ 4EVER]

Come on Blues

The Crows jumpers are pretty badass. Are these special for this gather round?

 

[Lach72]

Free kick Carlton in full effect

 

[freo1997]

Is that what you call spreading rumours and falsehoods, I'll have to confer with my dictionary

K.W that’s all I have to say.

 

[Taylor]

Adelaide are cheating outside a bit too much this quarter, they'll let Carlton smash themselves trying to work the lead down.

 

[Piggy Smalls]

How easy does this game look when you get two contested marks in one passage forward.

 

[Lach72]

Hope they do Gather round next year.
Think I’ll go.
Almost went this year

 

[Purpleheart_56]

I hope MJ44 can become similar player to Dawson...

I don’t mind the concept as a spectacle but I’d struggle to support a round that dishes us up a Friday arvo game. The sad thing is that before the fixture was announced I was on the record as saying we’d get Gold Coast on a week day at a primary school oval somewhere in the suburbs. So contemptuous but so predictable

 

[Wilksyy]

Sydney fans after letting him go

He asked to go home and there's no chance he's getting a run as an inside mid at Sydney so credit to Nicks for giving it a try.

 

[DQ 4EVER]

If only the umps adjudicated against Carlton like this when they played us.

STFU Kingy, you literally offer nothing.

We can all read stats you pillock.

And Adelaide played hardball so Sydney ended up getting unders.

Complete opposite of us with Jackson. And Hogan. And Josh Carr back in the day. etc etc. It’s in our DNA.

Top 20 picks on Adelaide team inthe last 8 years:
Thilthorpe 2 - Forward
Rachele 6 - forward
Rankine 3 (cost them 5) - Forward
Jones 9 - midfielder
Pedlar 11 - Forward
Fogarty 12 - Forward
Doodee 17 - Defender
McHenry 16 - Forward
Milera - 11 - Defender
Michalhanney - 17 - Defender

You could add Dawson who cost pick 18 and looks class.

Apart from burning 6 on Fisher Mcasey in 2019, it’s a good rebuild. Strong emphasis on forward talent at the very pointy end of the draft.
Thilthorpe is a freak. What a player he will be if he stays fit.

 

[Madas]

we make some dubious trades, but is Adam Saad one of the biggest wastes of money in the last 3 or so years..?!?! Any game I watch of Carlton's and I fail to see what he really does to justify his price. What is on, $700K minimum?!

Proper gross

He’s probably one of their best players every week ?

Were we ever a chance for Thilthorpe ?

 

[Purple Jesus]

How is Doedee pronounced DOO-DAY??

 

[Lach72]

Tell ya what I love what Rankine give offensively but he’s soft as shit on the chase and tackle

 

[Lach72]

He was pick one, so no

 

[freo1997]

Tell ya what I love what Rankine give offensively but he’s soft as s**t on the chase and tackle

Hence why Walker had plenty of run and bounce for us.
