Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2024 Part 2

what's their pizza like?

Haha, I don't go often (I live in Onslow).

But their Hotel Motel pub does a pizza exactly how you expect, limp, floppy and droopy - the exact opposite of an Andy Brayshaw contract extension.

Whatever happened to the all you can eat Chinese restaurant in Bunno? Now that was a great place for a players trip dinner.

 

[freocuz]

This delisting and rookie draft is a rort. Hawks signed up Gunston last month, then delist him today and commit to pick him as a rookie? What a crock of shit.

I hope North or Richmond pick him and he retires immediately.

A 250 game, 500 goal, all australian, b&f winning, triple premiership medallion rookie.

Whatever that list is, I think it needs a new name

The State government will commit appro $1m to host the game in Bunbury. They will recoup $3m in speeding fines with fans driving to & from the game on Forrest Hwy.

What a ridiculous speed limit they’ve got on that highway.

Does Busselton have scheduled flights from eastern states or are these going to be charter flights ?

They've had direct flights from Busso to Melbourne for a few years now. But I always thought they were Jetstar not Virgin, so maybe they will be chartering.

I think the senior list and Category A rookie list should just be merged tbh. These days the Category A rookie list is mostly a small reserves list made up of whoever you can get away putting on there. It’s all the same except for the technicalities of it.

Category B rookie list can be renamed instead.

Don’t care what it’s called, just wonder why we’re turning a 20yo development ruck into a FA for life instead of just moving McDonald, Wagner, Fyfe or Walters to the rookie list.

I don't understand why they don't just change the name to the supplementary list. We get the same arguments every year and the whole issue is immediately fixable with an insignificant and easy change. If they don't want to change the rookie draft they could keep it and call it supplementary draft

I think you said it yourself - the change would be insignificant. Too insignificant for the AFL to bother.

For change to be made by the AFL it needs to be something no one asked for with a high chance of making the league slightly worse or a reversal of something the AFL *ed massively in the first place. Don’t think a legacy name like ‘rookie list’ that no longer applies is a massive * up tbh.

Kinda old news already, but the Dees annus horriblus continues with Joel Smith suspended for over 4 years for not only using coke, but ‘trafficking’ also.

Gotta love how no other players were implicated…. AFL doing another outstanding job of under the rug

No mention of the teammates he sent a message to offering to supply the gear.

Apparently some media outlets know who these others are, but Barry sharing at this time

Surely trafficking to teammates implied usage, albeit no evidence proving in the system to give a strike to

So yeh, feels like the AFL is leveraging their power to sweep this one quietly away

It's a bit Ghislaine Maxwell isn't it? Trafficked to whom friend, to whooooom?
