The Association Football AFL Thread 3.0

Rayner is this years piss take selection.

I'll say Ryan feels like a charity pick because the panel had him in their SC/Fantasy team and Pearce missed too many games.
He's had some good games (like yesterday) but it's sprinkled with ones where he has the 20+ sideways kicks for the stats sheet and gets beaten too easily. Pearce's injury exposed him the same way Murphy's retirement exposed Darcy Moore.

Also wild that there's never been a Western Derby or Showdown in Finals and we're having our fourth NSW Derby.

That's cos Freo suck all the time and never make finals.

Watch Gov not make it despite being quite clearly the best key back all year.

 

[DBAH0]

Well this should get a reaction.

WA and SA teams don't get special treatment and have to make their own way.

Damn, thought he'd go to fox.

Why are we playing Saturday?

Watch Gov not make it despite being quite clearly the best key back all year.

Among key defenders Weitering rates #1 for 1v1 defensive loss rate (11%). Balta, Wilkie, May and Andrews round out the top 5.

Also before Jeremy McGovern is Moore, Rampe, Collins, Howard, Lobb, Ballard, Battle, Taylor, Frost, Cox, McCartin, H.Edwards, Melican, Henry, Aleer, Weddle, Pearce and Butts.

He's had a good year but when that many KPD/3RD Tall types are better and defending their man 1v1 it is hard to argue 'clearly the best'

 

[Jatz]

I normally think Weiters has been hard done by. Not convinced his last half of the season was all that good.

My bad forgot we were in 1995.

But in 2024 football isnt played man on man. Gov zones off, does his thing, marks everything, uses the ball incredibly well. I cant be bothered finding the clip but I saw a segment I think it was On The Couch maybe a week or so ago where they were talking about McGovern and how he led all backman in like 5-6 categories or some shit. They all said he might be better now than when he was an AA four years straight.

Nobody has seen it outside of WC fans cos nobody watches us this year cos we're shite.

But he's been the best key defender all year.

Hey, don’t knock 1995. I am still stuck in 1995.

Dont know if we would have won any games this year without him tbf.

. the guy is just a monster.

 

[DBAH0]

Wonder if this means GC won't be getting Rioli.

Sculling a hot latte is almost the most impressive thing there.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Loved the reply about Walsh haha

 

[Magma]

barrass has requested a trade to hawthorn

 

[Jatz]

I am shocked to be reading that. Shocked.

Pick 6 for 28yo Rioli. Pick 2 for Weller.
Give up Bowes and 7 for peanuts.

Why do GCS exist.

Also funny that they'll have Ellis, Rioli and Noble and we got a better HBF from the 2nd last pick in the draft last year.
