Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2024

[ilikepotatoes]

Hahahaha how is that a free against Darcy?

 

[MadMundy]

Hopefully Hawks beat Port Adelaide and then get beaten by Sydney or GWS.

 

[freo_leo29]

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

couple years head start on our rebuild

 

[Dockeroo]

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

You are completely in denial.
Sam Mitchell (the absolute campaigner) has destroyed the myth that JL is performing well and it’s just a young group we have that’s holding us back.

You are deluded if you think JL is a better coach than Mitchell

 

[s_wd6]

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.

Yeah nah. Identical in list profile. Especially considering how much non contributors like Walters and Fyfe and JOM lift it up.

There’s 5% between us and them this season. I judge them against us by how they played against us, and there really was nothing between us. Especially factoring in personnel missing.

Crows did the same thing to the dogs a few weeks ago. They’re a bipolar team.

All the messaging directly from our club was that we aren't blaming youth

 

[Jeba]

Would like to see this young hawks team travel across the country 10 times a season and see how amazing they are

Man, Meek looks like he's in the final weeks of prep for a bodybuilding show.

Someone needs to pin his pic to Darcy's locker this preseason and tell him he owes the club, because we traded this guy to back you in.

 

[Kram]

The Bulldogs have got to sack Beveridge.

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

news to me. I thought we were arguing about what the word competitive means.

 

[MadMundy]

Good showing by the Hawks, Bulldogs just showing all that talent isn't enough to be a premiership team.

 

[MadMundy]

Game over, good stuff.

Competitive is winning. Not losing

 

[Ge3ks]

This season has been so freakin' weird. The cherry on top would be a Hawks vs Blues Grandfinal.

Stoked for Meek. Played well when he got the No.1 Ruck mantle as well all knew he would, hope he continues his form.

 

[noise36]

Meek is the highest rated player on the ground playing finals, Darcy is injured and home season over. Yikes! Sliding doors moment.

Yerp coaching plays a bigger part than a lot want to believe

 

[freo_leo29]

Competitive is winning. Not losing

you can be competitive in a loss

 

[s_wd6]

Competitive is winning. Not losing

No winning is winning. Competing is competing.

 

[s_wd6]

Hindsight heroes

 

[james haish]

you can be competitive in a loss

A single loss, maybe. Multiple losses over a season, no. You’re uncompetitive at that point.

You create a lot of excuses for losing which serves as an insight into your character.

 

[mattis117]

Stop looking at statistics and understand the aesthetics of footy. They play a higher energy style than we’ve ever played under Longmuir. They’ll go far.

Mumbles won’t take us anywhere

I'm so glad you keep repeating yourself. Can you tell us what you think of Justin Longmuir? I'm not quite across your opinion just yet.

Ooooh we’re getting into my character how exciting what else can you tell me about it?

You spent all season throwing the dislikes at anyone who criticised the coach for poor performances. How’d that turn out for you?
