Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2023

[MadEyeEmmy]

Lol Hogan having some epic tantrums. Mate, focus on making the distance from 25m out.

 

[Square Peg]

This year is starting to remind me of the year the AFL decided they wanted Footscray to win the flag.

They have decided it’s time Carlton won one. Every game they are close this year the umpires will step in.

Yep perfect analogy. It just sucks the life out of you knowing what you're up against when they start writing the scripts at AFL House for their "fairytale" team of the year.

Carlton are clearly AFL house's pre-emptive fairytale this year. If they make the GF it's going to be an umpire bloodbath against the opposition the likes of which we've never seen.

 

[Dump Truck]

This 100%, maybe long term it’s irrelevant but with Melbourne having our first, the short term is very ******* relevant and I can’t get passed how the club thought they could just put Hughes there.

It makes it harder to accept us letting Tucker go as well. In isolation it seemed ok, but due to the aforementioned reasons, I'd definitely have Tucker on a wing this year instead of Hughes.

I reckon the AFL are licking their lips at a Collingwood Carlton gf

 

[Righteo]

it's pretty impressive how quickly the Saints players have bought-in under Ross. Even with a much more talented list we took at least 6-7 rounds to really get going back in 2012. when they get all their players back they will be genuinely formidable.

 

[sumavich]

Dare say our list is better now too! Just shows what a good coach really brings

 

[EastcoastDocker]

Think Ross genuinely didn't have the cattle to play a more attacking style during his time here.

His ability to get the most out of brad hill has been impressive.

How many games did he pump into Brayshaw and cerra early

 

[gaskin]

Showdown is a good game so far.

 

[estibador]

Good first qtr in the Showdown (is there ever a bad Showdown?)

Frenetic pace and 11 goals scored already.

 

[CakeEater]

Never understand why c7 wouldnt want to show the showdown

No one outside of SA really care (ditto the derby).

17 and 21 in their debut seasons

Ask people if they would rather watch the Showdown or Essendon/St Kilda and anyone that is not a fan of those 2 teams will say Showdown.

Cool. I’d hate for that kind of development for Ras and Johno. Pump some Peel games into them I reckon.

The casual Victorian viewers will always prefer to watch a game involving Victorians

 

[Sweetback]

i like the tactical sub, you should be able to make three of them

They never show games where both teams aren’t Victorian, in Victoria

 

[holybishop]

I wonder why

 

[Redgum]

Notice lately how most games have all low score lines

 

[mike91]

Said it before and I'll say it again, Lachie Jones is an absolute spud

 

[Tonga Bob]

I’m looking at the St Kilda crowd and I reckon oldmate from round one is in there still shouting “You’re dogs Freo”. I know that bastard’s in there somewhere.

 

[88mph]

Essendon challenge - Ross is on the laptop and phone getting shit done. Saints then boot 4.

Haven't ever seen JLo on the laptop

 

[Lach72]

Saints playing superb footy tbh

I think that was me actually.
