Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2024 Part 2

It's a still a conspiracy even if all 3 predictions are correct, because you are saying that the AFL is directing the umpires to favour those teams.

No the AFL collectively taps their nose.......ok guys you know what to do....by the way fellas, check your bank balance when you get home, you might be pleasantly surprised.....if you know what i mean.

 

[Stinky Lomax]

Well that’s not a glowing endorsement.

I stand corrected, it’s not a conspiracy theory, it is a conspiracy!

Macrae asking for a trade. Dogs seem to be having a mini reset.

I would fly him in for a medical

That's a conspiracy though. A conspiracy is multiple parties colluding together to do something illegitimate

It’s also a joke

 

[MadMundy]

I always love that no matter how shit my team plays I can just say the umpires cost us the game, gotta love footy (all sports in general honestly)

will be pretty fired up for this week. His brother Jai will play just his 10th game, for Hawthorn, coming in for Frost this weekend.

Ouch.

 

[Ge3ks]

He would be stoked for his brother.

Eagles want 2 first round picks for Barrass.Someone there is still taking drugs

Hawks first is going to be mid/late teens before bids. Next year you'd have to assume the same. I don't think it's unreasonable, tbh.

If he was going to a club with a top ten pick instead of a club that might hand them a couple of picks in the mid teens it might be different. He is contracted forever, I'd want max value for a player like that too.

Good.

About time someone made the Hawks overpay for a player.

 

[FreoRicci]

It’s pick 13 onwards. Hardly much for a player of Barrass. If Hawthorn were bottom 4, sure. One early first rounder would be enough

 

[FreoRicci]

Cerra flagged as trade target for Carlton to get first round pick to push Houston move.
Juicy

Yeah and Barass is 30.

 

[Joao]

Yeah and Barass is 30.

They'll get something back.

 

[gaskin]

With the current market of course they are going to ask for 2 firsts. It would be negligent to not ask for overs.

 

[CapitalA]

No one is ever going to pay two first rounders for a 30+ year old.

I'll take him back cheap.

 

[Purple Suit]

I'll take him back cheap.

As a winger?

Orange slice delivery

 

[Rob]

Well that’s not a glowing endorsement.

I dunno whether that's a dig at West Coast per se, it was probably more about his own state of mind.
Being a rookie- especially one that's miles from senior selection - is tough. You're expected to work your ass off for a fraction of the salary of most other players only to slog it out in the WAFL every weekend. As a teenager that's probably dominated just about every level of footy in their life up until then that mentally can be too much.
There's a reason why he only lasted a year on the list. That's pretty rare, even for a rookie.

 

[DragoDelph]

Mills will miss the prelim, at least.

 

[mike91]

Biggest deal in afl history

Good player, but laughable decision
