Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2024 Part 2

[Demons09]

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.

You don’t have to wait it’s true.

 

[MadMundy]

**** I wouldn't mind Ginnivan with us.

 

[s_wd6]

They win next week and they're ahead, can't deny it

At the same stage sure. No guarantee they replicate it next year.

 

[s_wd6]

Given Meeks form and ongoing development..Was the Jackson trade a positive result for Freo..not sure.. if he played when Darcy was absent.. would he have developed as he has with the Hawks

Meek didn’t get that much better. He just played more games. He was always good here. That’s why he left

 

[james haish]

High energy means nothing.

It means everything. Footy isn’t about crunching numbers and asserting that because Longmuir won a final against the Dogs in his third year and Mitchell did the same they are equivalent. Watch the game

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Wow Hawthorn have gone past us at a rate of knots.

Doesn’t matter how you play if you’re getting the same results.

 

[s_wd6]

Do we need a separate thread where people slash their wrists about Hawks and Mitchell?

 

[james haish]

They’re not getting the same results. They’re on track to win a final. We’re not playing them

 

[fnerd]

Aren’t hawks like the same age demographic as us ?
How come theyre dominating in a final?
Whilst freo are watching from Bali?

I was very reliably told that being as young as freo is just too much of an obstacle to overcome in big games and that to make a meaningful impact and finals we ll just have to wait till the team gets more experienced

Guess someone forgot to tell Mitchell and hawthorn I suppose

 

[ilikepotatoes]

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

Still wouldn't hurt for us to try.

Who do we have in our team that the opposition is scared to tackle? Switkowski is the only bloke in our best 22 who can consistently draw a high tackle. The Hawks have about 6-7.

 

[Kram]

What is this, closet Whorforn supporter amnesty.

We’re expects at giving those frees away though…..so…. you know….that’s a positive…….

I’d like us to actually be competitive. You seem happy that we never are.

 

[Jezzitizle]

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.

I think it’s as much to do with how the hawks have been moving the ball, not playing straight line and pinging it all over the place.

Because they got to play their full strength side against bottom four teams to end the season while we got to play top four sides missing our spine.

It’s pretty simple. Flip the positions and we’d be the ones sitting in the eight with them missing out.

Do you want to actually assess things objectively or do you want to have a sook

 

[Kram]

Naughton is such a bonehead ruined goal of the year!

 

[StingBitten]

Jesus Hawks are getting the rub of the green big time.

What a load of absolute garbage

 

[s_wd6]

We’ve been competitive in literally every single game since the bye

 

[james haish]

We’ve been competitive in literally every single game since the bye

We missed finals. That’s uncompetitive

 

[Outshined]

Hok ball is the most vomit inducing phrase I’ve ever heard

Any excuse for a certain breed of Freo fan to self-flagellate.

We got into the finals and won one before them anyway.

I want to have a sook , is that ok?

Before them when?
