Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2024

Darcy Fort and Brodie Grundy the GF Rucks.

I think we're spending our salary cap wrong.

Historically useless ruck Brodie Grundy. Wonder what the reactions on here would be like if we dumped Darcy in the same way Grundy was and then went on to watch him win a flag with his new team that picked him up for pennies.

 

[james haish]

Sydney vs Brisbane. Most excited I’ve been as a neutral for years.

 

[Mogumber]

Brizzy played bloody well.
Hopefully the blokes that are in Bali/Maldives etc realise this is how you get to a GF.
It's ****ing hard

 

[Ge3ks]

Suck it Victoria. You're about to get invaded.

Suck it Victoria. You're about to get invaded.

By all 30k Brisbane fans

 

[fnerd]

Done his groin by the looks.

lol yeah sure , absolutely looked it to fein injury
Nathan wilson would’ve been proud

 

[MadMundy]

Good reason to get on the beers tonight! (I was getting on them anyway)

 

[freo_leo29]

Just Quietly, Brisbane just took our path to the GF

Lycett won a flag as the main ruck, not NicNat.

Definitely spending it wrong

Immediately thought of him.
Fake an injury, to make it worst not better.

He was wasting time before the goal acting sore. Not really something you fake when every second counts.

GWS would be absolutely kicking themselves. Should have beaten both grand finalists, but got knocked out in straight sets instead.

 

[Retzlaff]

So we beat both grand finalists. Brendon McCullum would say it feels like we won the flag

 

[Ge3ks]

NSW vs QLD

Carn the Blues Bloods.

Tbh I think that was a genuine injury, limping before he took the shot

 

[mattis117]

That was a cracking game to be at! All the better seeing the Geelong heartbreak, oh it was delicious

 

[noise36]

Yeah Brissies defenders have NFI

They arguably won them the game in the end, were a brick wall in the period Lions got a run of goals going so Geelong couldnt keep up. Lester and Starcevich I think it was.

 

[Kram]

Have they been crying about it not being played at the Kardinia dump yet.

Ok but why should every other team get to pay at their home ground except for Geelong? Even Giants played at their crappy oval.

1. It's a shithole, too small and not fit for finals football.
2. They get to play gfs as an away team at the MCG.
3. The MCG is an official home ground of the club, for example they chose to play 2 there this year.
4. The Cats have had a heap of AFL gifts so who gives a shit anyway.

1. Capacity of 40k. Plenty of stadiums with smaller capacites used throughout the season. And in finals if you're GWS.
2. 50% of teams play as an away team at the MCG?
3. They should be able to choose where they want to play.
4. Not relevant.

Of all the things to be pissed off about Geelong the fact that they want to play home finals in Geelong is really the least harmful thing I can think of. If we had lost the final there then at least I'd understand the angst.

Yep their response was all class
Always rated Starevich ,absolute quality small/ mid defender
Lester probably played the game of his career

Still much prefer my version of events

I hate Brisbane. Go Sydney.
