Non Lions Discussion 2024

[Ceebee]

The Bomber fans in the crowd all look like they are on the verge of a nervous breakdown
Would feel sorry for them if it wasn’t so funny .

 

[luthor]

I somewhat perversely hoped the Bummers might get up, just so our last game at home might have an "edge" to it.

Nup.

They're totally shot now, which is probably to our advantage.

If we can't dispose of these pretenders next week, we aren't serious contenders anyway

 

[McIvor]

God I hope West Coast touch up Carlton as well this round.

God I hope West Coast touch up Carlton as well this round.

I would rather the Crows beat Port or failing that, Ross the Boss finding a way for the Saints to bore Geelong to death

Saints 56, Cats 53 would be a thing of beauty

 

[luthor]

Give Heeney the Brownlow now

Oh wait!

 

[Grasshopper17]

Number 15 for Essendon that was soft as butter. Saw a Swans forward charging straight at him and didn't want a bar of it.

 

[Grasshopper17]

Swans looking pretty good now. Got a sniff and upped their pressure big time.

Makes you question those who wanted them to win tonight... Will be very tough to beat with their tails up.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

It beggars belief that a side as incompetent as Essendon is going to finish out of the bottom four, let alone just out of the finals.

 

[Perrip]

7286 days since Essendon last won a final, I love this record.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Not only are the fans leaving, the players are going over the fence as well

 

[luthor]

There are those who bemoan us taking Cam Rayner at Pick 1 in the 2017 draft

I wonder how the Bombers are feeling about taking McGrath at 1 in the 2016 draft that Clug somehow "slipped" to us at #3.

McGrath is a bog ordinary half back flanker and the #2 pick(Tarranto) that GWS fell over themselves to give us both Clug and Berry, is now playing for the spoon bound Tigers.

We made out like bandits in that 2016 draft.

 

[Elixuh]

Imagine if old clarry manages to derail 20yrs of Geelong being a powerhouse with a strong culture.

Geelong have a salary cap?

 

[Sproj]

Haha so they have a stacked side, take Gold Coast's salary dump and can STILL afford Oliver and Smith...yahaaaaaaaa.

 

[Elixuh]

Geelong were given permission to restructure GC's salary dump. Can they more easily restructure Oliver? I presume Melbourne would be paying part of that salary.

 

[mpal6]

West Coast should go after GWS Peatling with a big bag of cash. Once Coniglio returns, he'll get bumped off inside mid. West Coast can make him midfielder no.1 and a long contract to pair him up with Harley.
Better choice than Jack Graham

in my view. Peatling looks more dynamic.

 

[mpal6]

Geelong have a salary cap?

Not really. Cameron must be playing for rookie wages I guess. In unrelated news Cameron must also be buying his 50th property somewhere in Australia. No connection at all.

 

[FFB1]

And the AFL want a wildcard round. Imagine Essendon its current state playing to participate in the finals.

I can’t understand why you would offer Graham a 4 year contract. He is a good role player but is now injury prone and should be on a year by year contract.

I think Saints are interested in Peatling off memory

 

[notliondown]

You'd never know it. Fux me (and everyone else) how the keep affording marque players year after year after year

People could easily say the same thing about us

 

[T Rick]

People could easily say the same thing about us

Who is responsible for managing our salary cap - Danny Daly?

Dom Ambrogio I'd imagine. Probably with input from Swann, Daly and Fagan.

Yes but that's different, we're the good guys
