Non-Lions discussion 2023

[Dalions]

I really don’t think that Collingwood have played that well today and were very beatable but teams just don’t want to beat them.

 

[Warwick]

Most average 7-1 team for a while.

Collingwood can’t lose a close one, Swans can’t win won. Would be great to have that reversed today.

The U-S-A chant really is nauseating isn't it? Have some self-respect, people

 

[Nathan Barley]

43 goals, 68 behinds so far today

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Franklin's had 13 disposals (most of them on the wing just forward of centre) and six marks for 10m gained and one behind. He's the ghost of the player he once was.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

On a positive note I should get 9/9 tips again this week, but I'm probably far from alone in that.

Collingwood fans? Self respect?

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Very clever goal from Mihocek

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

God, I see what you all mean about this Saints-Roos game. Might be the first game where fans of BOTH sides walk out at 3QT

 

[dlanod]

It's a bit sad watching Franklin play these days. Should've retired end of last year.

It's hard to retire when you're still getting a decent pay packet to roll out each weekend.

Kangaroos on fire kicking goals in a rush, 2 in succession ... this might be the upset of the weekend, sit back and strap yourselves in people.

Sure, but I find it difficult to believe he wouldn't have sufficient investments and job opportunities from 18 years in the AFL, many of those years as one of its highest-remunerated players.

 

[martinson]

Watching North play they approach the game like Clarkson did as a player.

And he was a low skilled , pugnacious annoying sniper who tried his guts out but just didn't have the ability to make much impact.

It appears to be part of the human condition that the more money you have the more you want.

My understanding is that he's not getting all that much of a pay packet this year. But sure, I get that of course.

Funny you should say that M Malice.

I was just talking to a mate of mine about the 'successful' people we've known and no matter how lucrative the monetary success all it ever did was fuel even more desire for more successes. Often at the expense of family ,lifestyle and health.

So I'm glad I've failed at many things.

I am a complete failure

Or not roll out, a la NicNat.

West Coast have decided to keep some of their non performing/playing flag champions on the payroll to meet the salary floor.

I think the top 8 is now set for finals. I don’t see changes from the current mix. I think the suns will rise, but just miss out…

Could be pretty close.
The 2 that are most likely to fall would be StKilda and Carlton and the 2 most likely to push for the 8 would be Adelaide and Sydney.

IMO the Blues wont make the 8, their next 5 games > Bulldogs, Magpies, Swans(A), Demons, Bombers.

Can realistically see them losing all 5 of those, if so Vossy could be the first coaching casualty of the season.

No you're not.

The best poster on Big Footy.

Bombers can still get there. I have Essendon, Carlton, Bulldogs and Port fighting for the last three spots in the eight.

And on their death beds, possibly lacking all familial comforts except what their money can still buy (if they still have any), their final worlds will all but certainly not be "I wish I had spent more time at the office"
