Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2024

Dull prelim. Confirms my belief that Port were not a top four quality side, let alone top 2.

IMO if they sack Ken they won’t have these mercurial games that keep their wins ticking along, but will be better in the long run. You can build something around JHF, Rozee, Butters and Burgoyne.

You are one of the most boring yappy posters on here. No one gives off more short man energy than you, it’s as if 5’9" could type.

Geez, that signature really bothers you hey?

Legit, move on and enjoy the game, your insults over a signature don't actually bother me.

Port are two players short tonight. Can't have liabilities like Boak and Dixon.

 

[Dockernut]

Sensitive bunch here that can't read tonight. Odd. You do you though.

Just calling out bullshit. You said: ”Meh. Honestly not fussed if we miss him.” If we can’t infer that you’re not fussed on FFC going after Warner as a player, what are we meant to understand? You’re not fussed if he goes overseas, you won’t miss him dearly? If FFC shot at him with a canon you wouldn’t be concerned if that shot missed? Give it a rest.

Mad was the coach who thought he could carry both, especially the latter

 

[fnerd]

Yeah definitely not fussed about the chad

 

[Dockernut]

Nah shit player.

 

[Lach72]

Oh look…here’s me not being fussed about Warner’s 34 goals

Dixon is producing about what Tabs did vs Geelong. Crazy that we prob win 3 or even all 4 of our last 4 if Treacy didn't get injured. Watching this Port forward line just hammers home how important that piece is to teams.

Kudos to Sydney doing it a different way though. Their key forwards are crap but their mids and small forwards make up for it.

Sydney have dominated them.

Has anyone had a look at the Port board yet?

Think Sydney get eaten up by the better defences that Brisbane and Geelong have

Lachlan what your thoughts on the man, Ken?

Fukng gold.

 

[james haish]

Concern for Sydney is how easy Aliir had it in the first q. They shut him down with Parker, but the fact is neither Aliir nor the Port defence are that good. Both Geelong and Brisbane have far superior defences, and dangerous forward lines. Sydney will need their midfield to dominate

I love him so much, he shouldcoach West Coast

 

[FreoRicci]

Geelong are going to absolutely shut down Sydney’s forward line. Amartey and McDonald are weaknesses

 

[Purpletown]

Ratugulea is not AFL standard. Him and Dixon as your big forwards is just about as bad as it gets in a preliminary final.

On the flip side, I dont think either Geelong or Brisbane can get near Sydney's midfield, particularly Geelong.

2012- Buddy v Sydney- no flag

2014- Buddy at Sydney - no flag

2016- Buddy at Sydney- no flag

2021- Buddy at Sydney - no flag.

2023- Buddy retires

2024- Sydney flag?

If Sydney win the premiership they’d have to be the worst key forwards to play in one, even worse than Hansen and Lynch
