Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2023

[greatgatsby]

If Richmond have a bad year next year they could be entering fire sale territory.

Come on down to freo, Shai Bolton.

Now, this is irresponsible flirting. Thinking about adding Bolton to our young forward line is just ...

averaging 23.6 disposals a year

2023 Jye Amiss 38 goals
Harry Sheezel 26.5 disposals

I'd argue there is at least a few of those extra kicks for Sheezel over Cripps from running out of the square for the stat.

So I think it's comparable.

 

[Madas]

Baker as well.

Heard something during the week that Baker may be considered for the Tigers captaincy

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

I dont think either of those players are going anywhere and while I dont subscribe to the Naughton hates Freo thing, Baker will not play for us. Baker also probably the perfect player to keep around for a rebuild tbh.

Bolton is on 1 mill a year, and contracted through 2028, goodluck...

I find you can roughly calculate kick outs by subtracting possessions from disposals. So Sheezel averages 6.8 contested possessions and 17.3 uncontested possessions, for a total of 24.1 possessions. 26.5 disposals - 24.1 possessions = 2.4 kick outs per game.

If you got a goal for every time the commentators orgasmed over Bolton doing something 95% of the competition could do then he’d be worth it. Horrendously overrated.

or you can look at the stats (which confirms your numbers)

[Belnakor]

Imagine the grief this board would have given Longmuir if the ruck took the kick-in when Freo were trailing in the last 2 minutes.

When was it a couple of years back where the eagles lost a close game and niknat was too unfit to make it to the contest on the 50 lol. And then the coach claimed it was a set play for niknat to sit behind the ball totally gassed and unable to run lol

He's cream and the Tigers don't have much cake at the moment.

Damn good cream though.

what is that implying? baker hates freo or..?

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Supposedly, several different people close to him have said "not in a million years", though I dont know why

 

[Joao]

**** that campaigner then. I never even wanted him.

 

[BStaff17]

Gee I left Australia for a 10 week holiday on June 25 and Carlton were still a mess.

They must not have lost a game since.

Tbh only been following freo games while I have been travelling and the fact we have been shit has meant I lost interest in the rest of the comp.

The blue bagger train must be in overdrive and unbearable in Melbourne atm.

Nic Nat retiring

Nic Nat retiring

To be expected. Gg Nic Nut.

 

[oldgoat]

Nic Nat retiring

sensible

 

[freoextra]

Yep fat Nat has officially retired, seemed like a good bloke and not his fault he was the most over hyped player in the history of the game.

 

[MadEyeEmmy]

Pregnancy does tend to mean curtains for your sporting career. Go well Nic Nat.

 

[Deathly]

Felt sentimental toward Hurn and even Shuey to an extents retirement announcements.

Nic Nat? Nah. Actual shit bloke and dog player who used to intentionally hurt his opponents to compensate footy nous. Would have loved to have seen him get belted one last time.

It was always annoying. Dude at his best legitimately changed games by himself but anyone not WC could never get behind him because "The Worst" was ****ing obnoxious in scraping every single bit of attention as humanly possible

 

[MadMundy]

Naitanui will go down as one of the best ruckman of the game in my opinion, all down to what you consider a good ruckman.

Shame about the team he played for, but he seems like a genuine guy, wish him all the best.

All jokes aside, same.

 

[s_wd6]

i've never forgiven him for ruining sandis career. dog act.

 

[ImperialPurple]

I mean - he did text Sonny that one time.

 

[serial_thrilla]

Good call from NN. Could easily have clogged their list for another year.
Seemed like a nice guy off the field, so I wish him well.
