Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2024 Part 2

[FreoRicci]

Eventually Port will fall, every team does (except Cotton On Geelong). The draft should be the worst teams get the best picks, I just don't see the issue.

Not when you gamble picks/free agency on 4 players.
Think there should be more compensation/consequences of getting a free agent- especially one that is Tom Lynch. Combined with Riewoldt.
Geelong practically went competitive again after getting Jeremy Cameron in his prime.

Not following at all tbh. What consequences do you want? Why shouldn't the worst team in the comp get the first pick?

We took Brayshaw with pick 2.

Nahh we took Brayshaw with the Suns pick 2...but it was pick 2.

The Pies board re: Trac might be as delusional as the Rioli stuff.

It's has to be a successful big Vic club thing. I was going to say "big Vic" but honestly, Carlton fans are reasonable on trades in comparison

Pretty sure it correlates to time spent in the bottom 6 which is why we dominate in this space.

Why what are they saying?

 

[Joao]

Why what are they saying?

Can't remember exactly but things along the lines of:

Salary dump
F1 + two spuds
Extend his contract for 2 years and then they have to give him to us for a 2nd (like Grundy)
A 3rd + Mcreery

I'll admit, I don't know their board well and some of these might be jokes, but I've seen enough ridiculous **** lately to know that not all of it is.

Bit like Lobb, Hogan and Acres who were all sold a dream by RtB only to see him sacked a year later and massive upheaval at the club they had signed up with.

Not Acres. He was part of the Hill trade after Lyon and arrived in Longmuir's first season. Actually, we were the team that gave Acres a definitive role to play on a wing, and it's that role that Carlton recruited him for.

The Cats to end the season with a leisurely training run against the Weagles. McLovin and Barrass both to miss the last game.

It could get real ugly. Cats need the %.

Jezza VC in my Draft league Grand final. FEAST

Can I interest you in a 92-12 scoreline?

190-12

100% Could win the coleman with 25 this week. Not impossible.

190-12

West Coast in Geelong without their two best defenders? Sydney 2023 game all over again.

 

[Quay Club]

Thank good we didn’t, otherwise we would’ve got our arses kicked and the Eagles would have 5.

Fyfe broke his leg and Pav blew a calf in that final

That was a sad what if year.

Unfortunately history keeps repeating itself.

It's the hope that kills you...

 

[Purpletown]

5 weeks for Houston seems about right. Plenty of opinions around that there was nothing in it, play on. Mostly Port supporters probably.

It was out of character by Houston but he wasn't going for the ball at all.

 

[stax on the mull]

Didn't realise that GWS were playing WB at Mars stadium in Ballarat. Bulldogs have 8 win 4 loss 1 draw record there. GWS have a 1w 1 loss record there - a 5pt win against WB last season and 1pt loss to Gold Coast in 2021.

GWS are used to playing in front of 8k shouldn't be a problem

 

[Madas]

Yeah but we traded for that. We didn't "earn" it for being rubbish.

Move over Geelong. We have a new Dad's Army.

That is absolutely ridiculous. And simultaneously hilarious.

Oh my god............wow...!

The mother of all “one last crack”s.

Houston got 5. Ouch.

Just read that reporter, Sam Landsberger has passed away in a traffic accident. 35 is far too young. Thoughts with his family.

Fair. But how did Brayden Maynard get zero weeks after ending the career of Angus Brayshaw? Oh right, Collingwood.

Collingwood's Brayden Maynard free to play preliminary final as rough conduct charge dismissed, AFL opts against appeal

Collingwood star Brayden Maynard has successfully avoided a season-ending suspension at the AFL Tribunal, while Carton's Jack Martin had his ban downgraded from two games to one.
