Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2023

[Superkoops]

Gold Coast’s midfield is really complementary; Rowell the bull, Anderson the silk and Miller the workhorse. Add in Flanders, Humphrey and Witts it bats pretty deep.

Stephen King looks a decent coach too

Reckon Ned Flanders will stay now. He has really been playing good footy. Started to show a bit just before Dew got sacked but really flourished with King.

 

[greatgatsby]

They’re a bit off the boil at the moment. Maybe gettable next week if we play like we did today. Maybe.

Perhaps. More like they rebound hard. That was their worst performance of the season by a long way.

 

[gaskin]

What happened to the big O, listed as subbed off injured

He was sitting on the bench with ice on his ankle. He probably sprained it.

 

[Superkoops]

He was sitting on the bench with ice on his ankle. He probably sprained it.

They got him going again and he went on for a few mins just after the midway point of the last qtr. GC were up by 32 pts and then another goal so they tapped him out as he was struggling

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Two non-Freo Freo things from today. Mac Andrew is going to be the CHB of this generation, incredible player with an incredible ceiling. Would sell my soul for him.

For all the gloss on Adelaide this year, think about where they would without Tex and think where we would finish with Tex this year. That list still has a decent way to go IMO

Didn't see most of the game but a Brisbane loss and a Lachie Neale

Tex fakes on the right, runs left and slots it from near the boundary on his left 48m out... ridiculous

Mac Andrew? Yeah he's legit for the Suns, I see why he flew up the draft order to be top 5. Gun.

Auto corrected me, yeah, Mac. He’s going to be an absolute wall in 2 years

 

[MadMac]

Tex is possibly having the best season of his career

 

[Dockeroo]

Annoyingly, the results aren’t helping our efforts to get up the ladder and reduce the value of our F1 pick that’s traded to Melbourne.
I think we will need to win more than 10 games to avoid pick 4 going Melbournes way.
Other years we have only won 7 or 8 games and still ended up with pick 7 or 8.

[MadMac]

This Fracis Evans is quite a handy small forward. Haven’t really noticed him before this game

 

[Joao]

Best overall kick I've seen is Tex. Genuinely dual footed, good set shot and excellent field kick with penetration on both feet.

 

[King Tenz]

So Port are pretty overrated.

 

[Sweetback]

So Port are pretty overrated.

They’ve lost three in a row. Will probably have come good when we play them in three weeks

 

[Sweetback]

Having said that, the Port autopsy thread is grim reading, despite their still being second on the ladder after this weekend.

 

[largebus]

Incredibly poor from the Pear doctors not checking Aliir after he got KO'd.

Gold Coast have certainly taken a Shining to him

Defending has It.

 

[freodog]

With a host of top end Academy kids plus the talent they already have and Hardwick coming to coach. Look out for Gold Coast next year & beyond

 

[gaskin]

All they have been missing is a competent coach so if they do get Hardwick then look out indeed.

 

[Taylor]

Looks like Freo can get Brisbane if we tag Neale and they haven't adapted to missing 50 possessions in the middle from Ashcroft and Neale. Gold Coast were moving the ball similar to us, shorter kicks around half back.

Not out of the question at all

 

[Purple Jesus]

The Acres decision is so so bad.
Third round for a 26 year old just off his career best season, arguably the best player in the finals for Fremantle.
Bell can get ****ed for that.
Carlton on the up, 9th whilst Fremantle 5th. Here have a mature player to fit the wing. Whilst we crash and burn with an absolutely overrated hack in Henry.

Said as much at the time. ****ing dumb.

, former 1st round pick..
Getting over is early injuries.
Starting to look for contact in his game.
Starting to grow a set and we get a third round and stick Hugh's on his position

Hope they don’t “overlook” him for the top job!
