Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2023

[FreoRicci]

The GF that year was incredible. Coniglio played one of the best quarters of finals football I’ve seen. I think he was still only 16.

Incredibly that Krakouer was better. One of the best games of football ever witnessed.
It’s on YouTube.
Weird because I’ve always watched Coniglio in that light and he has never reached that potential, as harsh as it is. Nuts of a game that was

 

[FreoRicci]

Clancee Pearce was in that team too. A LOT of kids drafted from that Swans side.

2008? The Subiaco side had some gems too
Greg Broughton, Daniel Rich, Adam Cockie.

Was Walters ever in that side? Didn’t play the GF 2008 from memory

Being in a team his whole career that has been so stacked with top end talent has probably hurt him a bit.

Ken Hinkley extended to 2026.

Port to go out in straight sets now

 

[Sweetback]

Jack Reiwoldt retires. His high water mark has to be belting out Mr Brightside with the Killers in his playing gear and premiership medallion around his neck.

2008 GF no. Looks like he only played 2 league games before being drafted (remember he was still 17 being a bottom ager)
He played in the 2010 Krakouer final though.

Ken Hinkley extended to 2026.

From the Port board.

Its sad how much i hate this club at the moment

I don’t even hate our club when we’re in the bottom 4, be nice to have greater expectations.

Yeah... be nice to have the experience of full acidic bile burning in the pit of your stomach at something you can't control and from which the outcomes aren't clear.

Pretty sure Baker was always an Eagle, like a mad one

Then he was playing against Peel in that year that we beat Subi with a Freo team, would have made the hate towards us even stronger (and he was a hothead so clashed with the Freo boys, Traino said on his poddy with Bakes that they used to hate him a bit)

Finally, he loves it over in Melbourne


all 3 of those add up to never coming to Freo

Ross Lyon said on Footy classified last year that they put huge work into baker at freo and were going to take him in the draft the year before Richmond got him. He must have been an overager?

heh the Port board must be a thing of beauty

 

[Dockeroo]

This is next level nuffie stuff.
Even Taylor would be proud of this one!

ah the Chris Tarrant trade finally washes out…346 games and 786 goals later

 

[Lach72]

heh the Port board must be a thing of beauty

it really is. Top 4 with that young group running around and they’re losing their shit

 

[theGav56]

If he goes to a challenger, it will weaken them though.

I assume they'll need to include a draft pick and a chunk of salary.

 

[Taylor]

This is next level nuffie stuff.

Melbourne were the team chasing Oscar Allen and did want to exchange pick #1, but JVR was brought up.

So I think they can work on this some more.

 

[FreoRicci]

Riewoldt is only 4 games from 350th, and 14 goals from 800 and being all time leading goal kicker for Richmond.
That sucks. Surely one more season.

 

[Big Animal]

haha. We get pick 1 and your best player and next captain coming into his prime. And you get a magnificent assorted meat tray. What's not to like.

That's peak trade radio type shit. Lmao, love it.

 

[Belnakor]

Are you thinking of the North game at Optus where Goldy just drifted down and across the front of the square to take easiest of marks ?

That’s the one lol.

It was funny how Simmo/gameplan was set up to cover NicNat’s lack of defensive work.
He did the same in the Derby. Kicked it out on the full, Darcy ended up with the mark inside 50 30 seconds later with Nicnat on the wing, gassed.

That one had to be a joke though right

That sucks. Surely one more season.

The thought of pre-seasons kill the minds of players more then the playing.

The thought of going through the hell of pre-season to play 1 match wouldn't be enticing
