Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2023

[King Huskii]

I didn't watch the game nor have I been paying attention to any media, was there a reason why he did a Winmar? Just campaigners in the crowd tonight?

Nope, he was racially abused during last week's game

Pretty shocking.

 

[Madas]

Wonder if Jai Serongs illness is playing on Caleb’s mind at the moment?

No doubt but it’s pretty mild viral thing. Just needs to dial down the training for a bit to allow it to calm down. Non athletes would barely notice it after a few days.

He took some time away from training because of it

He was called a c**n. His reaction is exactly what you want to see from a young player to say he’s unbroken. That’s the best middle finger he could have shown to his abusers.

Racist people are weak minded.

Some of them are sad campaigners, some are genuinely malignant

But they are all just dickheads.

Would't expect anything less from scummy saints fans

We have them amongst our own, so no need to throw stones in glass houses

 

[Sweetback]

Yes. There are too many dickheads

That language is now rightly deemed an assault.
There is of course a slice of society (including footy fans) that will remain proudly ignorant of that idea.
Cant do anything about what they think is ok.
If they face a stadium ban they feel more inclined to mind their manners and keep their vile vomit to themselves.
Thats a win for civility which is good.

Yeah I’d name them, show their faces and ban them.

 

[stax on the mull]

A bit of rain could theoretically give Richmond a chance tonight. I would have thought Collingwood easily except for the weather.

 

[FreoRicci]

Hill should’ve just do a normal set shot. God that’s freaking annoying

 

[noise36]

Pies lucky not to give away several free kicks in front of Richmond goals before that counterattack and goal the other way.

Htb, then jumping on another players shoulders in a ruck? contest wtf is that

 

[nurries]

Ok we get the Daicos father and sons gifts are good footballers but ease up on the wankfest

 

[Ripper]

This game should be over already

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

I know it's Collingwood but the Richmond midfield gets absolutely belted on the spread. You can watch Taranto and Prestia immediately give up any idea of chasing anyone as soon as it's Pies ball

They will probably change the rules when Pav and Mundy boys are eligible

So the same as our midfield, then?

Only for those years

How far away is Roger Hayden's eldest boy? No way are they letting us get four Haydens

Eligible this year isn’t he? Haven’t heard any talk for a while so maybe just isn’t good enough

That's a shame. Three will have to do
