Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2024

Reckon Hawthorn wasted that pick on the wizard Watson. I know it’s only his first season but he can’t kick very far at all and has been very inaccurate for them. Not coming across as much of a wizard at all to me.

wow, that was touched by Richmond, like in our game

 

[Grape Bear]

We better be good next week, tigers will be under a microscope this week again and might go hell for leather against us next week.

Backing up a strong performance hasn't been our strong point.

Our draw is favourable over the next month in fact I would argue we shouldn't be losing at optus again this year in the regular season.

Tigers, Demons, Eagles, Cats and Power.

The 3 road trips we should be win probably 2.

Toss up which two they are but should be winning 7 out of last 8.

that was such a soft free to Darling

I didn't realise Martin was playing today - I wonder if that means he wont be coming across to Perth

The Hawks game is potentially the hardest

It’s spectacularly ****ed that one of the teams that travel the most is sent down to Antarctica, but that’s just another fix in the fixture to keep us irrelevant.

Watch us be sent there twice a year when the Tassie team come online.

We will be the best prepared away team in the AFL when Tassie comes in.

Ain't Hawthorn thinking of moving the deal to Cairns from Tassie well that's what I potentially read a few weeks back.

Maybe it was just scuttlebutt but what would be worse Launceston or Cairns.

He's off injured anyway I think. Unlikely to make the trip next weekend.

JL is a better coach than RL.

Prepared for the weather perhaps but there'll probably be a new oval that we've never played before.

Eagles getting looked after by the umps…..Again!!!!!!

11 free kicks to 5, yet the Eagles are constantly second to the ball. Explain that to me.

That flop by Darling really sums that moron up though.

Beijing

Beijing

that's actually a possibility lol

Waterman and Flynn off injured for WCE

Geez Reid is a lazy defensive runner. He just ball watches.

 

[PurpleEyes]

FFS, Dwayne Russell questioning the deliberately rushed decision from last night and questioning the rule.
It's a pet hate of mine how these AFL commentators can call themselves professionals when they seemingly are incapable of knowing or reading the rule book.

18.11.2 Free Kicks - Deliberate Rushed Behinds
A field Umpire shall award a Free Kick against a Player from the Defending Team who intentionally Kicks, Handballs or forces the football over the Attacking Team’s Goal Line or Behind Line or onto one of the Attacking Team’s Goal Posts, and the Player:
(a) is greater than nine metres from the Goal Line or Behind Line;
(b) is not under immediate physical pressure;
(c) has had time and space to dispose of the football; or
(d) from a Ruck contest, hits the football over the Goal Line or Behind Line
on the full.

Only one of those conditions need to apply and Menzies gathered the ball in the goal square on the run with no immediate physical pressure being applied. Now an argument could be made that when he gathered the ball, a Geelong player was within a metre or two and he expected physical pressure, but the fact is, that did not come because the Geelong players cleverly did not apply any pressure.

Sicily just asked Hardly Reid if he “wanted his mummy.”

Classic Sledge!!

 

[gaskin]

Sicily popped out his shoulder. I hope that means he misses a couple of games with it.
