Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2024 Part 2

[chaosball32]

I once again pose the question; how did we lose to this pathetic excuse of a footy team?

If we don’t smash these campaigners from the first bounce next week then there is something seriously wrong.

Obvs it's all about tomorrow rn but I want blood next week. No mercy.

WOW Luke Edward’s is unbelievably bad…

 

[mightymouse75]

Staying away from the death ride thread today.
Would have felt dirty barracking for west costco

 

[mattis117]

Saints giving a lot of vibe of selfishness. They all want their goals today and they look disappointed when their teammate gets the ball. Higgins and Garcia last couple of mins.

 

[longsuffreosupp]

Wow, if we don't beat WC next week..

It is a fact that helmets do NOT work. As has been said so many times before, just look at the NFL in America. They past players are lining up in droves to become part of a calss action of some sort. Hundred if not more have problems.

There is an additional problem in the NFL in as much as the players actually use their head to tackle the opposition. Their helmet is used as a weapon.

I think the NFL are now clamping down on helmet to helmet contact but it's still part of their game.

Plus their game involves running straight at the opposing players. Those players you are running towards are huge and nasty to boot. Our problems with concussion are mostly accidental rather than part of how you play the game.

Why about the ones worn in rugby and by some players now with a history of concussions?

Henry is a player who does little of substance.

Wanganeen-Milera is all class. Would love him on one of our wings.

NWM a taller stephen hill

Watch them come out breathing fire after this loss and bring in a rested Waterman, Yeo & Duggan ready for the Derby.

 

[noise36]

Its nuts that Hogan would be one of our best players on his current form, easily our best forward.

 

[hoss]

Yep, and knowing Schofield, they will do anything to derail our season. They're going to try and hurt us. Hope we're ready.

Harley flogging around again

Haven't watched him closely until today - and he's an absolute flog. Mouthing off, pushing players around, just oozes entitled dickhead.

 

[anchor man]

Same thing, it doesn't stop them from being concussed again.
The helmets they wear are exactly the same the AFL players wear.
Helmets do not stop concussion.

We all know what the issues were with Jesse when at home.
We really do need to let it go. He was, he isn't.
He is at peace with himself in Sydney.

 

[anchor man]

What a stinking game the Aints and Yellas was. A dead set shocker.

 

[doppo]

We all know what the issues were with Jesse when at home.
We really do need to let it ho. He was, he isn't.
He is at peace with jim self in Dydney

Yep - right bloke, wrong place, wrong time. Or something.

For a while there it looked he was on the same path as Cam, and if nothing else we can step back and appreciate the fact a lost and troubled young man seems to have found some peace and is back on track in life.

I also think our we would not be in our current position in terms of the culture and standards without some of the lessons of the 2016-2019 shambles. Football aside, FFC really seems to be a good place in terms of developing young men and turning them into quality adults at the moment

If West Coast didn’t have Harley Reid would I have ever seen a list with less upside? Not sure I have tbh in 25+ years of following footy.

There’s a slight chance Ginbey and Hewitt become A Graders but most A Graders show more in year two than they have. Hough might be the sort you don’t notice and that’s a good thing but doesn’t look much more than a role player to me.

Their other youngsters won’t be on their list in 4-5 years unless they barely improve from where they are now.

It seriously is a mess - May as well lock them in for at least three more bottom three finishes now.

Whatever the Eagles 'brand' is these days, the stats don't lie when they come up against a (limited) RTB coached team - tackles inside 50: 23 to zip/nada

I think the following are AFL players
Reid
Ginbey
Hewitt
Hough
Williams
Long

Only Reid is guaranteed A-grade and I actually like Trew as well so have no idea why he had his papers marked. Unless I've missed someone that is a lot of players to find still....

I only know 1 player there, golden boy.

Just shows how much attention I pay them these days!

I still wonder what happens if North don't win late last year to miss Reid.

Mckercher is building nicely off injury to be fair, but you take Reid out and that future midfield is threadbare.

 

[largebus]

On the bright side for the Eagles, picking Chesser over Johnson is working wonders. 9 disposals before being subbed out uninjured. I think we made the wrong call on this one

 

[Cesoir]

I’d ****ing love to live separately from my partner

We live on a catamaran, I have one side and the wife has the other. It is awesome

I think Melbourne under Neeld when they were getting tonked by 100 every week gives this Eagles team a good run for their money.
