Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2024 Part 2

[pK75]

This is Melbourne we’re talking about, coldest weekend of the year in Melbourne, mt bulla will be packed!

When I tuned into the melb game I assumed it was highlights from COVID era. Absolutely disgraceful crowd.

 

[Kapow!!!]

Most Victorian clubs are pathetic in that regard when playing non-Victorian opposition tbh.

It's almost like they think their team has a bye unless playing a team from the same city. If any non-Victorian teams' supporters had the same attitude they'd fold within a season yet Victorian fans some the nerve to call Freo and Port "minnows" when they average 40+ thousand at each game and have one home derby all year. Absolute hypocrites.

Outstanding

Demons off to a flyer.

Which favourable results are Fremantle going to get this weekend for our ladder position by the end of the round.

1. Suns to beat the Lions? 2. Port to beat Carlton? 3. North to beat Geelong? 4. Melbourne to beat GWS? 5. St Kilda to beat Essendon

I'm picking 1 and 3.

I'm a terrible tipster, but this is going to be happening most weekends. I think I saw Ryan Daniels post that there were 25 games to be played before the end of the season between teams playing other teams who were between 1 v 13 on the ladder at the beginning of this round.

How true? Can’t see as it’s behind a paywall.

Everyone talks about booting Norf from the comp, Melbourne's lack of crowds is a disgrace.

Unbelievable the lack of scrutiny that club gets.

They lost a generation of supporters.

When your battling what 10 other teams for fans in 1 city to be so horrible for a decade plus and not just mediocre but abysmal.

They would have lost a fair few.

They are feeling the effects now.

 

[Joao]

Be interesting to see if the Eagles' next coach can get that sort of intensity out of them more regularly.

On talent, they are not a bottom 3 side. Especially if they can squeeze another couple of years out of Gov and Yeo. They really should be winning at least 5 or 6 a year at home with that spine.

Why we need to capitalise now, need to win that next generation over by winning while the toast are bad.

 

[Paracleet]

Not sure why people are getting stuck into the smaller Melbourne teams for their fans not turning up. It's an index of their actual number of supporters. Melbourne, North the Saints and the Dogs: Any two of them combined are just about a smaller club than even Port. Let alone us.

Morning

Any doctors out there who can give some advice

My son got knocked out yesterday and he is due to fly to Melbourne in a few days to meet up with us

Are there any protocols on flying after a head knock?
What do the AFL players do if they are in HIA Protocols ?

Tough kid to be piloting a plane after a head knock. Hope he's ok.

Players seem to fly home with the team even if they’re in the HIA Protocols, I’m no doctor but it doesn’t seem to be an issue unless there’s a complicated issue like bleeding in the skull. Get him to go to a gp and ask for advice.

Thanks
Yeh we did doctor Google and it seems ok

Yeh we tried
He won’t go

Suns and Bombers both have massive demons between ears.

It will be interesting to see how long/if Dimma has what it takes to get an interstate side going. I reckon he might have underestimated the job he took between the travel and the culture of failure.

Not sure why anyone expected much out of GC in his first year. Not having Touk and Witts FT, Rowell is one-dimensional and combine that with some of the worst tall forwards in the comp expectations are too high for year 1.

Touk isn't great anymore anyway and Moyle isn't far off Witts.

It's not an ability thing as evidenced by their home form. It's all between the ears.

No Jaymie. Bad.

His head should be fine but arms will be tired after flying that far.

Richmond’s inside 50s remind me of us in 2016 shudders
