Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2024

[Wray27]

I read a good one the other day over there .

They reckon we should trade 2 of our first rounders for Tim Kelly
LMAO

We just draft Winder and we have Kelly mark 2 for a 2nd round pick.
Watching Winder at Souths is exactly like watching Kelly before he was drafted to Geelong.

It would be awesome but it is Gossage reporting it.

From the mob down the road.

It's disgusting how the Dockers gave away two first rounders for Luke Jackson only to get three picks in like the top 10 two years later while our bum asses have been sitting on the ass end of the ladder for three years and can only have a pick in the top 3 and not another pick until like the 30's the show for it #BackTheBoysIn #synergy

It's a fair complaint. They absolutely refuse to quietly let some guys move on. Everyone talks about and points to North about cutting too deep but their bigger problem was drafting and developing, not cutting / pushing players out IMO.

WC will go nowhere with how compromised the draft is if they continue to do nothing but basically take their natural picks to the draft

 

[Bigger]

That’s an AFL coach ready resume for sure, don’t forget to get your level 1 up to scratch though. You’d be great with the media too, which is probably the most important part of the job………..apparently.

Thanks for the endorsement, Stinky - I assume I can call you Stinky.

When I saw that the bloke who helps Fages pack the Subaru was being mentioned as a possible, I knew it was my time.

I am happy to pick blokes up if their mums can't get them there. I can manage the iPad and call changes as well, so we'll be all over the soft cap like Kerry on ketamine.

I have to give notice so Schoey is going to have to see out the season but he appears to have a nice handle on things.

Lol if Hinkley goes to west coast.

He ain't going to win a flag.

The funny thing is that WC's problem is also their drafting and development. They have very few players that have come on in the last 9 years worth of drafts. Having just the 4-5 picks a year at a rate of 20% isn't going to improve them, it's glorious.

 

[Bigger]

I’ll fix that. We’ll have to get rid of some ultra high-end talent in the short term but I think people will see the sense of trading Jack Darling

, we are going to make out like bandits.

 

[malpaso]

Would much rather the Eagles get a first timer as coach. Hinkley is a good coach let down by crap list management.

Their management has been hit and miss - but not as bad as up the road. They've looked to top up via trade more than other teams (Allir, Fantasia, Finlayson, Rioli, Ratugolea, Burton) and arguably that's been their main problem, but not surprising if they thought they were in their window

They traded with Port for a pick too, if they remember. It was how they let Port take Josh Sinn and let them luckily swoop on Chesser.

You mean Donnie Osmond right?

 

[Ge3ks]

 

[Arcassius]

Sounds painful - wish him well in his recovery. And Carlton to lose every ruck contest in his absence

 

[holybishop]

A 3 week break would be ideal. Port, Collingwood and Hawthorn coming up for Carlton. Hawks in particular with Meek flying would be difficult.

Carlton need to look at the Melbourne Blueprint and go into next week without a ruck.

 

[holybishop]

Th punctured lung is the least of his concerns

 

[nurries]

Th punctured lung is the least of his concerns

That would be code for cleaning up a foot injury they already knew he had so he is ripe for the finals

 

[FreoGirl]

that isn't good

won't come back to WA is that his partner has started running a business over there, apparently she's got a Hungry Jack's franchise.



Please tell me that's true, the irony of their little HJs dealings working against them would be grand.

 

[Lach72]

I would laugh until I shat myself

 

[largebus]

Hinkley to Eagles is from Gossage so there's more chance of it not happening than happening.

it's still entertaining

 

[freo84]

I've been trolling my Eagle mates about who they would prefer out of Hinkley or Sumich.

Most of them declined to answer

 

[oldgoat]

Lol if Hinkley goes to west coast.

He ain't going to win a flag.

Most coaches dont
