Non-Lions discussion 2023

[Warwick]

It would be so sweet to see Melbourne get done in the last minute.

 

[pulpdriver]

Damn. If only that ball had've been spoiled out of bounds instead of through the goals giving Melbourne the kick out.

 

[On the quiet]

Rankine likely to miss next week against the Power

 

[pulpdriver]

Awful for Rankine too. Had a brilliant year and would've probably been in front of Charlie for an AA spot after Charlie's form dip. His absence will make a showdown win harder next week too.

 

[Pride of lions]

Jeez the umpires arent missing any of the free kicks for Melbourne

Umpires absolutely handed that win to Melbourne in the last. Disgraceful umpiring. Completely crucified Adelaide. And 21 to 12 frees for the entire game,an absolute joke.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Hard to compete against the VFL

 

[Nathan Barley]

Very tough to watch game at marvel

 

[M Malice]

You just know the Kangaroos are going to choke, nothing surer.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Need saints to win to keep Richmond in 9th

 

[martinson]

Not fussed where Richmond ,Melbourne or Geelong finish ,they're not in the hunt this year.

But of those Melbourne has the best hope of improving on their form.

Serious question, would Ben McKay

get a game at the Lions or other top 4 teams? Some people think that North will get a first round pick for him via free agency. I am not that sold on him.

 

[trikster]

c'mon norf, do it for rats

 

[pulpdriver]

Poor umpiring is genuinely ruining my ability to enjoy football.

Serious question, would Ben McKay get a game at the Lions or other top 4 teams? Some people think that North will get a first round pick for him via free agency. I am not that sold on him.

would get a contract worth about as much as mcstay did on talent and exposed form

talks of him getting band 1 are laughable but i expect it to happen as a form of assistance to north

McStay does seem like a good comparator.

 

[Grasshopper17]

Anyone else think behinds should only be counted as a tiebreaker if the teams kick the same amount of goals?

I don't think behinds should count at all. Get rid of the posts. Shouldn't get something for missing.

 

[Nathan Barley]

I don't think behinds should count at all. Get rid of the posts. Shouldn't get something for missing.

And have more draws or some other way to break the deadlock?

 

[Grasshopper17]

Extra time for all draws.

Nah behinds make close finishes more interesting

 

[Nathan Barley]

Nah behinds make close finishes more interesting

Imagine if the Tony Lockett kick after the siren in the 96 prelim wasn't a score

 

[Grasshopper17]

Also hitting the post should be play on. The game isn't hectic enough as it is

 

[CarterS]

West Coast board stupid enough to contract Simpson until 25 and now can't afford to sack him. Board need to be sacked themselves.

 

[Dalions]

Can’t afford to sack him? Aren’t they the richest club in the land?

 

[CarterS]

Can’t afford to sack him? Aren’t they the richest club in the land?

Technically yeah they can afford to sack him but 6m is a hell of a lot to have to pay him out.

 

[Dalions]

Technically yeah they can afford to sack him but 6m is a hell of a lot to have to pay him out.

If they don’t think he is for them anymore, they just need to cut their losses and run. Pay the soft cap tax and really take a step forward in re-building the club.
