Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2023

This is shaping as one of worst friday night games in the history...

 

[Madas]

Least we aren’t as bad as Essendon
They should get back on the drugs

And yet we finished below them on the ladder

 

[Madas]

And yet we finished below them on the ladder

Yep and probably lower when we get beaten by Hawthorn tomorrow

 

[Joao]

The Essington dude getting plenty of content out of the last two weeks (last month really).

 

[Freo Big Fella]

 

[Joao]

I'd take Jack Watts over McGrath. There I said it.

 

[King Tenz]

Essendon are cheeks.

Why the hell am I watching this bum ass team on a Friday night in round 24?

 

[King Tenz]

I'd take Jack Watts over McGrath. There I said it.

McGrath is absolute mid.

100 percent the wrong call taking him over McCluggage and Taranto.

I'd take Logue over him.

 

[Freo Big Fella]

Sheeds in the stands getting his offseason "draft hird" campaign underway. Outstanding.

 

[FreoRicci]

Most limp inept two weeks by a team this season.
Not west coast.
Essendon. Finals on the line and produces this crap?

Parish is worst.
Trash workmate of a team.

Yeah, he's overrated. Great Fantasy scorer, but that doesn't always equal to a good footy player.

I just got home now and flicked it on.....heck me Tippa looks like he's added another 10 kegs or so. It's pretty embarrassing that he's getting a game at all looking like that, retirement or no retirement

I can't figure out why they have allowed it. Is it because he has done so much for the club that he deserves it? And so other players on the list may look at it as a positive because the club is looking after players at the end of their career?

Or will other players loom at it and decide the clubs standards are poor and its time to look elsewhere?

 

[FreoRicci]

How much for Martin? Decent winger, WA boy too

I can only assume so. But he's hardly a legend of the game that would warrant such treatment. I remember Dunstall got a farewell game (against us) when he was unfit, but that was due to injury. And in any case, Tippa isn't fit to clean Dunstall's boots.

Dunno, but it's a terrible look for the club. IMO anyway. They might have copped some questions had they not done so, but I would have thought that would be easily answered with reference to internal club standards and that they don't want to gift games to anyone. Especially after such a woeful display the previous week.

Straight trade for Tabs?

 

[FreoRicci]

West coast and North have kicked more then 4 goals each week this season.
Essendon kicked 3. What a joke of a club

Beat West Coast by a point.
Beat North Melbourne by 5.
Loss by 126
And now 75.

What a terrible month

They loss by 126. The ‘fit, skinny’ guys were disgraced. You being Tippa in after that. It’s not like they’re first.

 

[sdfc]

Farewell game for Tippa is fair enough. One of the best players to watch at his best.

Call a spade a spade, letting “himself go”, is totally unprofessional.

If you want to play at the top level and reap the good dollars, professionalism is required. I like Tippa, but am disgusted with how he just thinks he can turn up and play.

Body shaming.

 

[Taylor]

No "body" is so powerful and fit that it can perform at peak when carrying surplus weight, everyone can get better who does and if they can and don't then they let their team down.

If they don't want to, then they retire and it's fine. Live your life.
