AFLW 2024 - Round 9 - Indigenous Round - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
McVeigh is legit and provided value.
Mattise was a miss, he should have gone. Our path way to success was big rangy defensive wings generating offence by turnovers and pressure. We missed him.
Cooks isn't big enough and can't shoot. Would have been useless.
Nick Kay has been a warrior but seems to be done. Need to find a four that can play alongside Landale and stretch the floor.
We have enough wings coming through in Furphy/Dash Daniels/Proctor etc.,
The bigs are our gap at the moment. Need Rocco to develop into a legit Olympic level big to support Landale.
And again, need the 4 man that can shoot. Maybe it's Furphy. He's up to 6"9 apparently. If he can add some bulk he could play up if he had a proper big at the five.
The biggest mystery is why Ingles was on the squad.
He played 1 minute of the entire tournament. Did he get injured in that minute? Why was he suited up ready to play then? So weird.
The Mills, Ingles, Delly era has absolutely been our Golden era. All are now done.
It's going to be a while before we reach those heights again.
I don't think we will contend for a medal next Olympics. Maybe Brisbane in 8 years time. By then Giddey will be at his peak and guys like Rocco will have developed enough to add something.I thought McVeigh was excellent. Didn’t hesitate to shoot and hit some big shots
He’s been a great find and for us and really fills a need. Not only to have a shooter but a shooter with height to get it off over defenders.
Kay’s been a good glue guy that is now obviously done.
I absolutely think furphy can and will play some minutes at the 4.
We also have bannan 6’10 to look at for the next team.
Was weird. Reeks of Gooj taking him as some kind of free pass as a ty.
I don’t think so.
We’ve got a golden era of wings. Giddey is young and he did a lot of good this tournament.
We’ve got our best centre prospect since Bogut coming through.
Yeah thats interesting - were Reath and Landale ever on court at the same time this tournament? Can't remember it happening.Woke up and I think Im calmer now
USA would have destroyed us anyways and most of the squad already have a bronze so they dont really need another lol
Would have loved to see Giddey/Mills-Exum/Daniels-Mcveigh-Reath-Landale lineup... That lineup woulda given most teams problems besides USA imo
Don't think anyone is arguing that.Breaking news: Goorji to be replaced by someone on Bigfooty who thinks he knows better than Goorj
I'd like Brett Brown to have another goDon't think anyone is arguing that.
There are a lot of strange calls he's made this time round (Thybullle not going, not playing Reath, taking Ingles/Delly, overplaying Key), and the problems he's had (clogged toilet offence) have remained.
Someone like Trevor Gleeson who is 15 years younger than an old Goorj, and actually built high powered offences around small scoring guards, while managing to maintain defensive identities might know how to better utilise the talent we have than Goorj.....
They were briefly last night. Think it was the first time I saw it, might’ve very briefly happened against Greece as well.Yeah thats interesting - were Reath and Landale ever on court at the same time this tournament? Can't remember it happening.

That’s why it’s so frustrating. It’s not like our ‘00s teams, which we knew were ordinary and pushing good teams was the best we could hope for.In reality we had a good tournament with 1 bad game (Greece) a bunch of very good games where we failed to take our chances at the end.
Sliding doors tho there was some dumb stuff by the coach, and players lost their heads a little at the wrong time, could have easily been a much better tournament
Still annoyed about this.
Why bench Mills when he was on fire in the first quarter?
Shit coaching.
I thought Goorj coached like he always has done. He got players to buy into a defensive mindset. He tried to make it scrappy and ugly. He also showed he's not a great offensive coach.
The refusal to play Reath over Key (who i have loved in the past) but literally was a complete non factor in all aspects, just didn't make sense.Canada got destroyed by France due to their bigs dominating inside. I reckon we woulda been undefeated in group stage if we played both Reath and Landale as starters since they both can shoot 3s if needed as well.
Goorjian has fallen on his sword

Nope, nothing at all embarrassing about conceding a 24 point lead.“I just think it’s a really exciting time for Australian basketball and if you view these games, there’s nothing I’m embarrassed about.”
Still wondering why Joe was picked in the squad. Didn’t play a single minute in the whole Olympics.

Would love someone in the media to get answer on Reath and Thybulle situations from Goorj. He needs to explain what happened there.
