Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2023

[King Tenz]

Flanders is loving having a new coach!

Makes you wonder why the old coach didn't want to play him? Gun as an inside mid.

Solid win this for the Giants. It's fun watching a group playing for their (inexperienced) coach.

When is it ok to choose a non-Freo team for finals?
Come at me all you want, but the reality is that someone will win it

Never, imho. I personally wouldn’t mind seeing Port winning it (I always thought we had at least something in common with Port for whatever reason) but I won’t be actively barracking for anyone and my interest during finals season will be limited.

4 minutes left, 10 points down and Pedlars in the centre? Guys done nothing all day

Time and place and that wasn't it, poor coaching

Idiotic from Milera. Should have looked to hit up someone short instead of blazing long.

If there's an ex-Freo player who I still like I might support them. Can't think of any this year though.

Ross coached teams doing Ross coached team things

2019 Ross Lyon losing to the bottom team Carlton at home whilst competing for finals vibes

I would like to see the lions win it if someone has to. Neale is one of my favorite players.
Would like to see ratts beat the coach that screwed him over.

Ross screwed Ratten? Hardly, that was St Kilda being St Kilda.

Ziebell is top 10 in games played for North. Wow that's embarrassing

He was a B+ player for a few seasons but he's been getting cheap kicks in the backline for the last few years. Probably plays 60 games less if they weren't completely awful the last 4 years.

C grader at best in my honest opinion, he was never good. Fake tough, poor leadership, zero skills

 

[serial_thrilla]

I'd love to know how North got that free kick shot after the siren from the boundary, given that the siren went before the whistle...

Ffs norf so close yet so far.

You can see it when he immediately flops for a free kick as soon as he is tackled.

 

[longsuffreosupp]

Wouldn't mind playing Saints or North now...wait, we'd probably still lose

 

[Madas]

We’re ripe for the taking.
Eagles will rest Shuey, McGovern, Barrass, Hurn and bring them in. 100% go all out

Will likely be a send off game for Shuey and Hurn as well
They pretty much have first pick in the bag so will go all out
Warm up the microwave

Today I learned... Ben McKay has had 8 seasons with North Melbourne for only 7 wins.

7 wins, 1 draw.... 58 losses. Poor f*cker, wouldn't blame him for looking to bounce.

Geez that's dire. Only time he won more than 1 game in a season they also lost 17. Never gets on the park and when he does, they get smashed. **** that.

He's won only won game in the last two seasons. JFC.

Ashcroft has already won like twice as many games in his first season.
