Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2024

Sure. And the board will see your contributions and give you a “best ever supporter” badge.

If we can’t post our opinions in here, why the **** does Bigfooty exist?

Hmm trying to figure out if bitching and moaning is an opinion. Can't really say that it is.

It’s my opinion that the loss against the Hawks was not inevitable. It was not “one we had to have”. It was not excusable. It was a huge missed opportunity.

 

[hoss]

It was 4th vs 12th.

It’s pretty embarrassing going from a “no excuse” football team to an “any excuse will do” one

But basically nothing separates 4th from 12th this year. Travel to Tas was probably enough to predict a Hawks win.

Take back what you said

Sorry mate

 

[Taylor]

Why is saying “There’s always next year” more valid than saying “we ****ed up here”?

I would think they are the same intention, assuming next year takes the lessons from today.

I hate that the AFL sends us to Tasmania. I hate that teams like Pies have never gone there. But, it’s not like we can be surprised we get sent there any more. We should be prepared for it as a club, otherwise that’s just a bit negligent. So “travel to Tas” really, for a good team, should mean very little.

But progress isn’t linear like that?

It’s an even field this year except for perhaps Sydney, who has shown some vulnerability of late. This year is almost set up to have a surprise premier. Why couldn’t/shouldn’t that be us?

 

[DragoDelph]

Criticising the club for stuffing up a golden opportunity, acknowledging that the hawks are a good side and it was tough game, and seeing hope and growth for the future all aren’t mutually exclusive.

They shit the bed. Again. But they were also beaten.

It’s a game of footy. We all want to see success for this club, but it’s a game of footy

Will no doubt fall away but Richmond competing with GWS.

OK that's great.

You're not really discussing anything though are you? You're just telling everyone how smart you are and how dumb everyone else is.

Like straight question, do you think people like the way you discuss things?

You act like a total ass. You provide zero room for discussing growth and improvement. Every thing is black and white, if we win, all is great, if we lose then our entire existence is shit and there is no happiness in the universe anymore. Such melodramatic overreaction are tiring to everyone else. Tbh I kinda feel sorry that you have to experience such wild swings in emotion, it must be exhausting.

Fair call. Can’t disagree with that!

That’s your opinion and I respect it.

But I’m not the type of person who is going to say my thoughts in a roundabout way just to placate others. If you want me to expand, just ask, it’s probably more productive than calling me names for the 50th time.

If you really can’t stand my comments, there is a block button.

I’ll defend Freo to a hilt on the main board, because bugger opposition supporters. But, and mods feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought this was a place we could discuss our true thoughts on the team and its current progress?

 

[StingBitten]

A lot of top clubs shitting their pants this weekend - could've gone down to 7th but lowest we can go down is 5th. Unless Schofield is some miracle coach we could remain 4th if the Toast sink the Lions.

Either way to 4 is still in grasp - a cynical view would say we've stuffed up Top 2 but good teams drop games from time to time and lucky for us a few good teams have done exactly that alongside us.

Even if Lions win it's not a bad weekend of results for us - because Top 4 may still be ours to control.

Winning this week would have given us a bit of a buffer. I think realistically top 2 was going to be hard to maintain (looking at the fixture), but we’ve really put top 4 in jeopardy and in my opinion I don’t think we make it now. Our game against Geelong could be a genuine ladder shaper.

 

[Raz]

Very unusual season.

From possible 2nd to possible 7th, and so many teams only one game or less behind us.

Any loss from now on. could end our season

WE should nto dream and hope for other teams to win/losse. we must just win them all.

 

[MadMundy]

Small part of me disgustingly wants West Coast to win so we hold onto top 4.

 

[largebus]

Yeah I'm not really fussed whether Brisbane win or not. This weekend's gone as well as it could've given our loss.

It does make our games vs Essendon and Geelong that more important though

 

[Fat Nyfe]

This would be the ultimate get out of jail weekend if Brisbane lose.

Think we’re out of luck though and they will flog the Eagles into next week. And Syd/Car/Gee/Bri are probably the deserved top 4 right now and we have 6 weeks to prove we deserve it

 

[Dockerjonz]

Cannot deny the hawks their victory but as usual shiit goes our way.... such Dockery

I do wonder how he will survive financially with his million + payout and two HJ franchises. Centrelink destined poor bloke.
