Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2024

Oh yey, a whole offseason hearing about the Hawks, can't wait

 

[DragoDelph]

We need the smalls so, so bad

Hawks never have a 50/50 call go against them, its so weird

 

[james haish]

He's gotta be one of the most overrated players in the AFL.

Moves beautifully and looks great when he's having a good game, but 90% of the time I feel like the commentators are just telling me how awesome he'll be one day while ignoring his actual output.

I feel like everyone’s trying to will him into being a second Buddy. But he’s not even near it.

Didn’t you say they’d crash and burn?

They play like they are trained to put themselves in positions for favourable umpiring calls

Still waiting for us to catch up

 

[Tommo]

Hawks getting the rub of the green in a final, never seen that before

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Didn’t you say they’d crash and burn?

Maybe like 12 weeks ago

Meek is going to win a flag isnt he?

Gee the umps love these hawks, no deliberate cant get done for htb/throws. Some teams have it easy.

 

[Jezzitizle]

Wild that we have a better list than Hawthorn but we could never play like this

Is our bottom six better than theirs?

Not sure it is this year.

I'm seeing a Dogs 2016 run with umpiring beginning.

Especially against a top 8 full of interstate teams.

Who decides that …. Hawks way more athletic than us

I think our character first drafting strategy will end up with us being a 5-6 year finals team but not much else

Hope I’m wrong of course

It the main reason I want to take the picks and try to turbo charge us up a bit with the best 3 high end athletes we can get

We are just the wrong shade of vanilla I think

Bont been radio silent tonight. Look what happens when you tag him instead of letting him run riot like he does against us every time.

They’ve perfected the art of manipulating the umpires. You’ve got your 200cm ruckman leading with his head trying to draw the free. It’s so clearly coached and it makes their game look so much better than it is

Also the fact that they’re immune to htb

We could and we have.

Old Hawks used to do it too


Always buddy buddy with umps in the rooms

Mitchell obviously took that in

 

[freo_leo29]

the wizard is a bloody good little player, if he didn't duck hed be a gun

 

[james haish]

We could and we have.

We haven’t played like this since the 2013 PF

Can’t wait for the constant “hawks have gone ahead of us Mitchell is a god” talk from this board even though JL was at the exact same spot at this stage with us. And that’s without the two year head start as an assistant.

It wouldn't work for us. Some teams are more equal than others.

 

[Dockeroo]

Time to put some respect on Hok-ball from where I’m sitting.

And any fool that thinks the coach doesn’t matter if you have enough talent, knows jack shit about afl footy.

Strap yourself in, it's going to be all offseason after they beat Port next week. Need the winner of GWS and Sydney to come through in the prelim
