Non Lions Discussion 2024

[martinson]

Freo outplayed the Blues in that quarter but just didn't put it on the scoreboard.

Seems the Blues get the rub of the green as well these days.

I think it was always going to be the case too. Big VIC clubs seem to have a propensity to get favourable umpiring when they look like being up there as Carlton are tipped to be.

I would’ve been pretty disappointed if I were an Eagles fan today. Thought the umps oddly looked after them a bit to well today.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Watching Harley Reid in what his fourth game and he’s already doing things Rayner can’t / won’t in 120 odd games. Yes Cam has improved but it’s still an indictment on him I think that he still doesn’t have the tank or impact games that Reid is and will be doing in his first season.

Fagan just not hard enough on him to get the proper reaction out of him. It might always be a what could of been with Rayner

 

[Hollow Knight]

Why are we having a pages-long discussion about Rayner in the non-Lions thread?

Get rekt Carlton!

 

[M Malice]

The Dockers have a few young guys that look like being not just serviceable but long term gun players in Caleb Serong

[Nathan Barley]

Why are we having a pages-long discussion about Rayner in the non-Lions thread?

Get rekt Carlton!

Because we're posting about all the non-Lions players who should make him ashamed of himself

 

[Viceregal]

it is quite annoying when you open different threads on this forum and its the same usual suspects posting their same usual talking points.

Apologies Rye

 

[Mr Ripper]

Coaches strangling the life out of this sport and administrators and umpires only too happy to let them.

 

[briztoon]

Excuse me? It was absolutely warranted given the broken record that is McIvor found yet another opportunity to pot shot one of our players.

Oh, I'm way over a lot of what McIvor and others continually post. I just scroll right past them now and don't bother reading or engaging in those conversations. Brabs post was a far better way to comment on the continual negative comments.

He had a good half - there's no denying that. Let's not pretend it was some unbelievable half better than anything Rayner has ever displayed.

His game was more than just the stats. It was the way he moved around the ground, up and back, applying pressure in defence, and not just breaking tackles and fend offs. What he showed in todays game, is just not in Rayners capabilities. And that's not going to register on the stats.

Population explosion particularly in Melbourne.

Seems to be a trend in AUS. to want to go to events

I mean Ed Sheeran filled the MCG twice didn't he. Wouldn't have any hope of getting those sort of numbers anywhere past the equator.

 

[CarterS]

Everyone thought Carlton would make the jump into the top 4 but it might be Freo? Very impressed with them so far this year.

 

[Tom14]

Carlton and Freo just as boring at the game as they are on TV. Unbelievably disappointed we spudded up against both of them, neither serious teams.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Feels like Freo are going to bottle this.

Filled a few 50,000+ EPL stadiums in the UK. Looks like his US tour set attendance records as well.

 

[McIvor]

If only that ump had the guts to pay a similar HTB for dragging it back in against Chapman all those years ago at the Cattery like Walter’s rightly just received.

 

[martinson]

He did 215k in Melbourne over 2 nights.

Geez I'll spew if the Blues get another non deserved victory here.

 

[McIvor]

How wasn’t that HTB against Cripps?

 

[martinson]

What an absolutely dumb knockout.

 

[McIvor]

Stevic is a dead set cheat in favour of Mebiurne teams.

 

[rye]

carlton would be 1-3 without some seriously questionable umpiring

 

[martinson]

Ha Ha.

Umps get the sealer.

 

[Dalions]

Yep

 

[McIvor]

That’s an AFL House special. Dockers completely stitched up by bias Victorian umpiring.
