Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2023

[s_wd6]

nah i reckon theyre just lucky enough to have not been outed yet

Yeah you’re probably right. There’sa few players on our list who I’m surprised have had nothing come out abt them (except Covid parties)

9 years and 191 consecutive game streak up in smoke. I had to confirm he was 29 and not some 16 year old chatting up the Year 7's.

Has to be a first. Broken not due to injury or suspension. Think should get an asterisk and allow to keep the successive alive.

Actually think he should play and this to blow away. Favourite player outside of Fremantle. Such a gun

It was at its worst during Ross’s first stint at the Saints. Dal Santo’s peen, Reiwordt’s manicured peen. Although neither as bad as Crisp apparently having a few strokes on camera. The messaging stuff can end careers though: Patton and Bootsma to name two.

Big cash splash for Big Bash and women's game in pay deal

The Big Bash and women's cricket in general are the big winners after a new Memorandum of Understanding was agreed on between CA and the ACA

www.cricket.com.au

I find the wage war between AFL and cricket interesting. The women are so far ahead in cricket I'm not sure when if ever that they'll be able to catch up in AFLW. The top earners getting over 800k for womens cricket is fantastic.

For men, you now can earn a really good wage (like 600k+) being a good state cricketer if you're also good at t20. You can basically double that if you can get into the IPL.

The top mens cricketer would already be over 2m when everything is put together - Cam Green certainly made the right choice while it will probably be a long time before AFL men get close to that. I suppose this is all offset with the shear number of players in the AFL meaning you are more likely to earn a wage as a professional sportsperson choosing AFL but if you're one of the best, cricket will earn you more. Cricket careers are also longer which makes a big diff

Bootsma wasn't helped by the fact that he was utter shit.

The answer is simple. Have India become mad about AFL football.

What's there excuse.

These players get more education when it comes to social media and how to use/deal with it when they enter the AFL system then other people at the same age especially at 18.

You have to be completely dumb to incriminate yourself by posting shit on snapchat or whatever platform it is if you have a public profile.

Some will just never learn and not realise how lucky they actually have it.

With the WPL in India the gap is only going to widen.
Besides career length, the concussion/CTE risk of having life long effects is a lot lower as well

Neither got suspended though from memory?

Honestly don’t think think Crisp should be suspended tonight. But the media loves to snipe the players.

As much as people love AFL in Australia, there's absolutely no scope to go from a low contract to having financial pay days. It's limited in being only a domestic competition. It's limited by the salary cap and lack of sponsorship support.
Educating kids to train and excel in international in benefittal, IMO, then struggling and competing in a 20 team (in the future) competition.
Women's Soccer is gaining traction in both financial and popularity. The World Cup later this year will be a boon for the game here in Australia. AFLW are on a thin edge tbh.

The saints players were just naked. Crisp seems to be soliciting people to engage in illegal behaviour

 

[mike91]

David King - Neale is in really really good form

His stats are down, impact on games is down and part of a massively dissapointing midfield

I expect that to change tonight, but this clown getting such a high salary is so wrong

 

[Outshined]

Ash Johnson would look great playing for Peel.

 

[Piggy Smalls]

Ash Johnson would look great playing for Peel.

The way he’s won or halved his first three contests he wouldn’t be spending much time at Peel

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Collingwood are going to do something nasty to the Lions here

 

[Deathly]

Ash Johnson would look great playing for Peel.

Would look ****ing awesome getting dropped after 1 game for Banfield under JLos' watch.

 

[Outshined]

The way he’s won or halved his first three contests he wouldn’t be spending much time at Peel

Probably should have made the cynicism there a little clearer!

 

[greatgatsby]

Half Collingwood's side would still be "developing their capabilities" at Peel.

 

[Piggy Smalls]

Could the Daicos brothers and Pendelbury be the three best kicks in the AFL?

 

[holybishop]

It didn't last long.

i used to like that song too, i now watch gabba games on mute

truer words have never been said

Pete was such a freak, and now these two boys. The genetics versus environment debate is over, it's the genes

I know his "basketball background" gets memed a lot but god damn Pendlebury's a silky player.
