Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2024 Part 2

Fremantle going to struggle to make top 8 .

3 games we msut win or it season over

We will get there.

Our team is too good to let it slip now.

We were 10% off yesterday and still leading by 25 early in the 4th as gutting as it was yesterday losing.

I still think we win our 2 home games.

Like our midfield surely won't get smashed like that again.

In terms of premiership though I felt we needed top 2.

Though I would be confident if we get to 4th and play the Swans at the SCG week 1 we can still do it.

was also a “boong”;
(b) Mr Hill told Mr Rioli of this comment at the first pre-season training session
around late November 2013;
(c) Mr Hill told Ms Ah-Sam Rioli of this comment within a week of telling Mr Rioli
about it;
(d) Hawthorn did not take any action in response to this incident.

Geez some of the stuff that alleged.

I think we were more than 10% off considering our strength (midfield/ruck) was well down. I've not seen a performance like that from Darcy in a long time then to have Jackson provide nothing either. Add to that our midfielders getting out-positioned regularly at stoppages.
It's a tried and true tactic to get the ball outside against us, the Bombers (credit to their game plan) accentuated that by pushing our midfielders into the contest and spreading.. They essentially did what the Bulldogs do..

Was scouting the Eagles board for that trade talk that Snuff mentioned and found this. First thought was to say something, then I remembered it is far funnier if they don't know.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We should expect to challenge for finals next year. With the likes of Sydney falling back to the pack, the shitness of reigning premiers Collingwood, the losing streaks of Brisbane and Port early in the season, the falling apart of Carlton, Essendon and Fremantle, the rise of Hawthorn... we should simply put no limit at all on where we finish in 2025. Especially since we should get the easier draw we deserved this year.

May not be funny if it's true.

 

[Joao]

May not be funny if it's true.

That would be funniest of all.

I honestly hope they do think they are a chance, go for it, just miss and then load up for 2026. If they spend 2025-2027 accumulating mid range first rounders and topping up, they'll expand their half decade of **** to 1.5 decades.

 

[Stinky Lomax]

Dusty has retired effective immediately.

It’s so him not to go one more time for a farewell game.

Well done Dusty, that was one hell of a career, the biggest of big game players.

 

[Ge3ks]

Is he done done or is he Hardwick done?

 

[nurries]

Is he done done or is he Hardwick done?

If he retired at the end of the year, I would say done. Retiring now more than likely means Hardwick done

Two absolute giants. Dusty banging around the top ten of all time, Hawkins top 50 I reckon.

Dusty with 3 grand finals and three norms was just huge, although Bachar Houli

Always sad when the kings of the game finish up

 

[BStaff17]

Poor GCS...

Probably a good thing last thing Gold Coast needed was an over the hill Dusty chasing a superannuation package.

They need to develop what they have.

Good. He forever deserves to remember how he missed out and ****ed himself. What a grub.

missed out on a premiership and won a wooden spoon.

I know West Coast winning in 2018 is a sore point for Freo fans.

But the fact they won it during his suspension only adds to the deserved punishment he copped.

There going to have him as sub for 2 more games to get him AFL life membership is hilarious.

Mind you bowing out on 280 games when he was well on track to get to 300+ barely missing a game through injury in the first 10 years of his career.

He actually was almost 12 months younger then Mundy was when you compare the ages of both when they played there 200th match.

Mundy played another 176 games and Gaff 80.

Is another example of how difficult for longevity when playing for a WA club and getting to 350+ games.

To Pav and Barra we continue to salute you.

To Gaff and the Eagles enjoy retirement you loser.

 

[MadEyeEmmy]

Bahahaah and getting a sympathy game for a send off. Pathetic and therefore very on brand for Gaffy

yes very telling

worst thing to happen to Brasyshaw and he has gone on to play great football.

 

[Ge3ks]

West Coast are officially tanking. Proof.

Gaff calls time as Eagles plan farewell game

West Coast great Andrew Gaff has announced he will retire at the end of the season, with the veteran wingman to play the next two games as part of a farewell.
