Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2024

[Cam Payne]

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

Most of them declined to answer

It's incredible how the most opinionated pricks on the planet can be so piss weak at the same time. Imagine how soft they'll be after another 5 years of being shit.

also ruled himself out of the Eagles job. Makes sense given Hinkley's days seem numbered over there

 

[oldgoat]

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.

At Optus on Sunday I could clearly hear the Wailing and Gnashing of teeth from over Lathlain way.
It's running 24/7 now that despair is taking hold .
Even wooden spooning for a decade may not be enough?
A little puzzle...
If you got a Harley Reid every year for ten years and each HR only stayed two years, how many Harley Reid's would you have in 2034?

Harley Reid for Player/Coach

Absolutely gorgeous.

 

[Purple Suit]

Player/coach/CEO

CEO is a step too far. WC have Don Pike now and he's going to fix the place up in no time. He's currently working on an off season camp to fix their culture.

 

[Firesharter]

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

Yeah Hinkley has coached under sufferance from David Koch, who seems like a massive anus

Carlton just lost their main ruck for remainder of season

That will make things tougher for them

To be fair, Pittonett last year was part of the best clearance duo in the league. He's a very good ruckman.

 

[Cam Payne]

I get the feeling Don Pyke is incredibly intelligent, but getting people around him to understand what he's on about is incredibly difficult for him. More power to him I say.

 

[anchor man]

Essendon a game and a half out side the top four, plus a very low %
does that keep them out of the top four?
Bulldogs and Hawks only half a game behind with better %, are they the one just keeping a seat wrm for one of those mentioned.

Too many HR

Bonus puzzle question:
If West Coast take the spoon for the next decade, and Tasmania join the comp in 2028, and North Melbourne need Priority Picks, will the next Harley Reid that West Coast are able to get access to be Harley Reid Jr under a father-son in about 2045?

 

[Stinky Lomax]

Haha, Carr on Gossage.

However Carr believes there is little merit to the veteran reporter’s story.

“I think you’ve probably just got to look at the source first. Think it was Gossage, wasn’t it? It’s never that reliable, is it?” Carr said.

Hinkley is actually the perfect candidate, we all know it’s a poison chalice so he may as well take a retirement fund, ride out the losses, and instill whatever it is port have (downhill skiing) into the WC team then make way for an up and coming senior assistant at the end of 2028, they couldn’t possibly hate him as much as Port fans do.

 

[Raz]

well before we wish the West coast a decade of obscrurity

Lets make sure we beat them this week. and not fall over our selves like we did in the last Derby

Then i personally hope they rise back and let Collingwood/ Essondon / Carlton move down the bottom I dont like those three.

Remainder of the home and away season. He will be back for finals, and considering their soft run home and a decent backup they shouldn't miss him much.

Agreed. I'm not saying a bad word about them until the game is over. Then it's on like Donkey Kong.

Pittonet is a far better ruckman imo. De Koning has had such an easy run of opponents that it's made him look much better then what he is.

 

[Drizzy]

Despite what people say on here Carlton are a top four team. No way in hell North were going to upset them.

They could’ve and they got close. Carlton our a top 4 team but they have also loss the last 3 of 4 games

 

[Docker82]

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

Forget us for a bit.

It’s actually a ****ing joke West Coast can finish last in an 18 team competition and not get their natural second round pick until pick 30. That’s 11 spots later than it should be.

Honestly hope they get it fixed for the 2027 AFL Draft (which will be ****ed by Tasmania anyway). Then it’s fixed for us by the time we’re sh**e again.

 

[Docker82]

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.

Or take him for nothing as a DFA.

Probably close to their most hated Freo player in history - Fyfe would give him solid competition for some reason nobody would understand. Ballantyne and Crowley too but the reason is actually understandable.

Would be kind of funny watching them all change their minds about him overnight like the bunch of hypocrites we all know they are.
