Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2024

[FreoGirl]

Do you argue that west coast having Reid v North with Wardlaw, Sheezel, Powell is better?
North signed Xerri who is an elite ruck at 25. What do West Coast have?

It’s such horrid list management. Plus the fact that West Coast giving away multiple first rounders for Kelly and he’s injured.

which is why we have to be careful in the trade period, but at least we still have some talent coming through

Stkilda are shit.

GC shit away from home.

GC will be the definition of making up the numbers if they nab a finals spot.

I hope they are shit at Optus

Which they have been for what 8 years now?
Imagine when they lose McGovern then Barass. Club is stuffed.

Was 10-0 North’s way in clearances before finding winning one to start the game. That’s pretty damning.

McShovin will be hard to replace. Barras is actually really good too so that will be tough also.

Club really is in a bad spot. Straight into my veins, baby.

Think the Eagles in for a big shock once those two age out of the team. They've been blessed for a long time with amazing spine players. Hard to find good ones.

I also think they might be impatient and stuff up their draft selections on a "quick fix" player like Baker

Could there be a more boring side than Snooze Kilda

Us if you listen to someone in the media.

I was telling my son how each game this weekend could advantage us, and he said “but West Coast losing doesn’t help Freo on the ladder”

“It does in others ways, ways you will come to understand”

it means we can wear our Freo gear for another week ha ha

That's the way they play and have done for a long time.

He gave them enough of of a tease of high scoring footy last year to secure his position - straight back to pig wrestling now though.

That he's somehow managed to turn Max King into TEMU Matt Taberner is astonishing, yet somehow not surprising either.

Surely if you've got a beast in King, you keep the game open and attack

 

[Purple7x08_24]

That's the way they play and have done for a long time.

My feeling is Reid has already decided to go back home. He doesn't seem like he's connecting with his team mates, but I coudl be wrong, it could just be his personality.

I can definitely see Geelong sniffing around when the time comes

 

[Ge3ks]

Wonder if that ball was touched. Oh wait...

 

[Ghost Pig]

The beauty of that North win was that WC supporters had given up early in the 4th, then they were sure they'd won, then they lost again.

I usually avoid such sweet things, for my health, but today I must admit I could not help but indulge, the dentist be damned!!

 

[noise36]

Suns are diabolically bad inside their attacking fifty , so many entries wasted.

 

[oldgoat]

Caleb Serong is the best

Josh Treacy is a very thoughtful young chap

 

[Descent]

I’ll admit, I think Mitch Owens is overrated, but even by my low expectations he’s been pretty mediocre this season.

I don't miss Henry. Has done nothing at saints.

 

[Purple7x08_24]

I don't miss Henry. Has done nothing at saints.

It's easy to stick the boot in with players that leave but he certainly hasn't proven himself. He's no Pickett. I don't really think Henry is that good at all.

Henry, Lyon…

Same, same.

 

[freo84]

Henry, Lyon…

Same, same.

Lyon was great for the first 4 years. He gave us the some of the best wins ever. I'll always like him for that.

 

[Ge3ks]

Gotta give Ross credit for recruiting the universally despised Winhager and turning him into a universally despised tagger.

 

[Retzlaff]

The ‘94 premiership team watching in the stands would’ve won today

and St Kilda booed lol

 

[Kram]

That comb-over do is fooling nobody Ross.

 

[s_wd6]

Saints seem to have the worst field kicks in the league. They've missed some shockingly easy kicks that could've opened them up.

 

[s_wd6]

I don't miss Henry. Has done nothing at saints.

He's all chest. Never seen someone run around the field so breast-ily.

 

[freo84]

I love the dissent...Love it

 

[noise36]

Haha umpires paying a free to king 100m off the ball right in front of goals for a hold

Close game and a few minutes to go, gave saints the lead , disgraceful !
