Non-Lions discussion 2023

[Lace Out]

Have to keep trying though, all picks have been traded for Hopper and Taranto.

They’ll play more kids

 

[M Malice]

Crows will rue being 3-9, it will come back to haunt them, you can just see the Pies going straight down the other end and kicking a couple straight and they're back into it.

Ha! Rue is the exact word that went through my mind. Pies will definitely run this out.

As a high selection yes... Clayton Oliver went at pick 4 but we were never going to take him anyway, it was always Schache, if the Blues went Schache at 1 we would have taken Jacob Weitering.

Worst ever 1st round selection was probably Llane Spaanderman at pick 18 in 2003.... David Mundy went at pick 19.

I was at a draft night a few years later, the year Schache left IIRC. Apparently internally there was actually a divide, roughly even split between Schache and Oliver at the time, so they went with the tall.

Some of it might be hindsight but it was also claimed Schache basically wouldn't be on their draft board under the new management because he was never a contested player - he basically just took marks on leads which doesn't transfer to seniors.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Worst round of umpiring I can remember

 

[Nathan Barley]

It's play on when a defender takes half a step off his line but if you're lining up for goals you can wander around wherever you want

 

[M Malice]

Suns going to choke again? LOL!

 

[Nunez]

Suns

 

[Nathan Barley]

Are clubs too focussed on this over handballing game style that they don't practice kicking enough?

Too focused on the helter skelter, the skills are just the consequence.

 

[Dalions]

13 shots to 7 at half time and Adelaide are only a goal in front

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

2/3 of the crowd at Marvel has already gone home

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

I think Gold Coast's defence has been really good today

Something that's been prevalent this year are short handballs to someone in the same or worse position than you are rather than take a kick that's maybe less risky.

Turnover from a kick is something that doesn't look good. They'd rather play ring a ring a rosie with handballs and flick it on to someone else to put their head on the block.

 

[martinson]

Crows had the chance to get 6 up easily and didn't take it. Just missed regulation shots in front of goal.

Be a good effort if they can get themselves going again.

Collingwood are coming off a 5 day break which was a tough match against Essendon too. Be interesting to see how they run this out.

It will . Mind you they barely raised a sweat in the first 45 minutes. Couldn't get the ball.

 

[Section 5]

Good win by the Suns but gee Richmond 1 win and a draw after 7 games.

If the Crows can somehow manufacture a win that will leave 6 teams equal 1st after 7 rounds.
Unfortunately, a Pies win puts them on top on their own.

 

[M Malice]

The Tigers loading up with Hopper and Taranto for another flag tilt might not turn out all that well for them.

Giants laughing all the way to the draft at this stage.

Bottom 3 won 7 of the last 10 premierships

Crows didn't put them away either. Pies did find their run and spark there in Q2, but sub is already on (Kelly for Krueger) and Daicos seem to be carrying a calf issue. Pies may run out of legs if they lose one or two more.

It's a long commute to the other side of the CBD

3D chess from Richmond. They'll just poach the player GWS take with their high pick in a few years. Hopefully for them he can kick unlike Taranto.

 

[Saucery]

Lol Tigers

Ex Mrs Hardwick likes this.

I believe Noble was asked this and gave the same reply.
