Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2024

[s_wd6]

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

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.

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

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

I want to have a sook , is that ok?

Before them when?

Matching it with or beating every team this year is not uncompetitive. Objectively speaking, it’s not.

Yes it is. Competitive is making finals. Uncompetitive is missing them. We finished in the bottom half of the ladder

 

[MadMundy]

For **** sake Bulldogs better not comeback.

Hold on Hawthorn.

 

[fnerd]

Naughton is such a bonehead ruined goal of the year!

People complaining about our long contracts for Darcy and cox (fair enough atm too) but seriously the naughton 9 year deal could be diabolical for the dogs with the way naughton tracking

Excuses for everything. Hawks haven’t had their best KPF all year. Their best defender Sicily missed big chunks of the year and beat us with one arm. And they’re missing their best mid today.

Also, hawthorn aren’t the same age profile as us. They’re younger.

 

[ImperialPurple]

What time tomorrow does Lobb ask for a trade?

 

[s_wd6]

Yes it is. Competitive is making finals. Uncompetitive is missing them. We finished in the bottom half of the ladder

So you would have rated our season better if we won one extra game by 1 point, but every other loss was by 50+?

We would’ve made finals then.

Yes of course. Why would I care how big the losses were if we made finals?

Younger by 0.1 months? You really rate that? They’re identical in list profile and experience.

 

[james haish]

You seem really dense s_wd6. Would you prefer to win the premiership but every game you lost was 50 points, or lose the premiership and every loss was 1 point

 

[StingBitten]

Disappointing first two finals games. Thought they'd both be nail biters.

 

[s_wd6]

you’re not competitive if ur losing every game by 50+ and winning the flag. you’re just lucky with your matchups.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Sure if that makes you feel better. Their core is a bunch of kids, younger than ours for the most part.

Good on em, as much as they annoy me. They prove that age holds no bounds for great team chemistry and great coaching. They’re exciting to watch

 

[armpit]

You could have had yourself a moment, but you had to do one of those stupid sideways crap kicks.

 

[Ge3ks]

Hawks are gonna be playing Port at Adelaide Oval next week. Should be red hot favourites based on both teams current form.

 

[james haish]

Carlton did it in 1995. Average losing margin was 60 points

 

[james haish]

s_wd6: “Would you rather win more games but the losses weren’t good, or lose more games but the losses were honourable?”

Shhhh don’t you know jlo won a final like 2 years ago against a much inferior dogs side , only after being 40 points down — slow start of course (but lucky weve rectified those aye !!!) so therefore even tho we’ve done jack since we can’t possibly say hawks are ahead us

 

[Tommo]

Even free kicks when their own players push players into them
