Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2024

Yeah, still has 19 for the season and still pressures alot

He was always a pressure first forward

Your not wrong but he a 30 goal a year pressure forward at Freo. Good offensively and elite defensively.

Not gonna be far off it this year, if he misses next week with Concussion then thats not good for him (was subbed pretty quickly after a head knock)

23 x 1.3(avg) is still 29.9 (but hes gonna miss 2x games it seems, 1x suspended and 1x concussion)

Hill was atrocious and Elliot has lost his set shot mojo. Pies weren’t bad considering how many best 22 players are out.

Geelong has looked so much better since Hawkins went down. He’s cooked.
We have a similar problem with Walters. Demands selection on his history but is becoming a liability.

He’s a good sub at the moment.

 

[Firesharter]

Swans have a pretty tough run home after this weekend, although North could spring a surprise on the wounded ladder leaders. We just have to keep winning.

 

[Chicken Treat]

Speaking of The West and its long history of shit editors, Anthony De Ceglie really showing himself what a good asset he is to Queensland.

It was becoming a bit of a distraction.

Every Fremantle game there was so much focus on Fyfe and it wasn't just the WA media. It was the same season where there was an uproar about a Jack Viney suspension, and the Melbourne media who helped get that challenged successfully referred back to the Fyfe suspension.

Clobbering Jordan Lewis with a round arm put the speculation to bed - just some people forget that Fyfe was suspended twice that season (for 4 weeks total) and still only finished 1 vote behind Priddis.

Priddis didn’t even win his club’s b&f if I recall. Lots of possessions but not any damage.

At the time I felt that Fyfe, who very very much wanted the Brownlow, was just frustrated with the second suspension; having listened to him since, my opinion hasn’t changed.

 

[anchor man]

Stewart avoiding a concussion test when he clearly had a head knock so he could play out the game.

They did the same thing with Cameron before announcing he had "delayed" symptoms.

Monday.... Laura Kane.. .... we are happy with how Geelong handled the Stewart situation.

 

[freo1]

So overwhelmingly happy the filth dropped darling. Such an absolute downhill skier, and purely horrible KPF to watch. Glad he finally got what he deserved. His stats will show he’s an amazing player but gee he’s the only KPF I can remember who plays like a small forward.

Glad Schofield actually has the nuts to send him to the 2’s.

It should have happened a while back. They have a long road ahead, there is no point playing Darling or Gaff. Sheed should be in that conversation as well.

Egg Zachery. How darling has got a consistent game for the last 24 months is a further indictment on the club. Absolute downhill skiing potato.

 

[Nodgey]

Is Darling contracted next year? Would dead set be the worst player to make it to 300 games. By a mile.

 

[Footskill]

Seems they were hot on the not 15m rule last night..something we need to be mindful of for today's game, when chipping it around

Not really, they were inconsistent on it as per usual watching live at the ground

According to Forrest Gump, AFL umpiring is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get.

Once you're subbed do you straight into protocols or do you have to fail the HIA?

 

[freo_leo29]

Got to fail it so realistically they didn't have time to do the hia

Could be fine but figured he would only get back in for 2 or 3 mins so made the sub

And Cripps

 

[pavstar]

And Cripps

Tbh you would drop 10 of their players from the rabble that turned up last week. Their list is in deep trouble…. Aged players who are no good anymore, very ordinary mid rung players and only a few actually good young players… there is no rebound this week or for the rest of the season. They’ll get absolutely towelled up by the Brions tomorrow…

 

[mike91]

With the doggies outs, this is a huge performance so far.

Carlton are pretenders
Bont> Cripps

 

[noise36]

Dogs getting the Carlton umpiring treatment , Cripps with a high fend and gets a shot at goals

 

[mattis117]

This dogs/blues game is a reminder of how close the competition is. Travelling 5000 km and playing in the morning your time can be the small differences between winning and losing.

Still confident we can best anyone on a fair playing field.

 

[noise36]

Come on doggies!!!

 

[chaosball32]

I should be happy about the Bulldogs beating the Blues but if anything it’s pissed me off more lol

We should be comfortable in 2nd right now but our putrid 4th quarter effort today means we might finish the round as low as 7th

 

[hoss]

Great effort Bullies. Did us a favour but we shat ourselves. Still makes my weekend a bit better.
