Moved Thread Would Sydney's participation undermine the integrity of the entire 2023 finals series?

So EF exit for you then

I know its probably foreign to you but we won't have the wobbles so will win the EF with ease.

 

[AvantGardener]

Just an if. Would have thought you want to play the pies week 1 and possibly get a home prelim

Nah the Pies will go wobble wobble and we can knock them out straight sets in week 2. Going to Adelaide or Brisbane doesn't worry me. If you're the best team you get it done.

Did you forget to put a question mark at the end of that question?

Here's a spare for you: ?

No because the person I was replying to knows nothing needed answering and that I was just pointing out his hypocrisy??????

No more than Carlton's did in 2013.

They also haven’t had a suspension from the Tribunal since Hall beheaded Staker.

Last years Prelim win is also questionable when the rules were once again forgotten by the Scumpires.

It might be time to revoke their licence.

Jesus christ this club gets an armchair ride like no other.

Would not want to play them in Setember. Umpires won't even use lube.

1958, is that when you last won a flag without a brown paper bag?

You could have just said Ed Curnow instead of melting so hard

Sydney's all but assured participation in this year's finals series has come on the back of significant AFL umpire assistance.

Firstly there was North Melbourne interchange infringement and now the incorrect goal umpiring decision that cost Adeliade a certain victory.

With two extremely controversial umpire assisted wins being the platform for their qualification, in my view the integrity of the entire series must come into question if they are allowed to participate.

When Eddie McGuire argued for the Swans cost of living allowance to go I don't think he could have imagined it would be replaced with whatever this is.

Whelp, Carlton do have history in receiving finals appearance hand-outs from the AFL, dont they. Why not try for another boost from Gill and his 12 disciples?

When the injecting cheats were disqualified from finals participation the brave Blues stood in to fill the void.

It's kind of like when a boxer pulls out of a fight at the last minute, and the promoters scramble to find another option at the last minute to ensure the show goes on.

Carlton was that brave fighter. We were not fighting in the right weight division. The bookies expected us to get a beating.

Didn't work out so well for Shitmound though

Scratch Ed from palying in finals along with injured Williams and Young

- all the players with any finals experience are from other Clubs - albeit they have been around for a while now : Newman MCGovern Hewett all in good form - also I think Kennedy may have played in finals when at GWS - though maybe he got injured - did Cerra play a final at Fremantle?

Bottom line: Carlton isn't a team totally lacking in 'finals experience'.

I just wish we had the Pies finals experience. Losing a GF after being 5 goals up in 2018 and then the opposite problem 2022 Prelim forgeting to turn up and being 4 goals down. Some great experiences there!

Not sure how the evidence clearly saying you don't handle finals puts you in better stead than it simply being unknown how you will handle finals!

Scratch the pies - they aren't blue collar enough at the contest - preferencing fansty pantsers and carrying a fair amount fo drunk bathwater from being premiers in May

COLA needs to be returned, given the difference in rents alone. Hickey recently said he was paying $1.0K per week for a basic 2 bed Townhouse for his partner and three little kids.

If it is not

• salary cap at Geelong and SA to be reduced in line with cheap COL Iin those pox holes.
• all payments from media deals for current payments to be included in the salary Club.
• cashies enjoyed by Melbourne players to be included in the salary cap.
• employment of wags and rellos by sponsors or people connected to the club to be incorporated in the soft salary cap.
• costing out of certain cheapo real estate deals and pokie leases to players and adding into salary cap.

The AFL banned Sydney from trading for several years despite not breaking any rules. Their revenge for recruiting Franklin.

For yonks the Club has been punished by Umps. Usually our negative frees differential is second only to the Tigers. This year we are running a couple spots above.

Demetriou and Fitzpatrick despised the Club. Umpire McLaren (the Bummers will remember) tried to ump us out of the 05 and 06 Finals.

There is of course 2016 *.

Sydney and the other Nthn Clubs had to get the Academies because the useless AFL would not do development. Look at the ruin of junior footy in Tasmania courtesy of the abject AFL, carpetbagger Hawfs and perennial tin rattler Norf. The four Northern Academies have lost 16 year olds put on big contracts by NRL teams. Lol imagine Harley Reid telling Norf to * off, I’ve got a contract with Melbourne Storm. [ * that would be truly lolworthy]

For Vic Clubs and Crows the role of the Northern Clubs is to hothouse development. Scats, Tigs, Dees have supped from the trough rather than develop their own and enjoyed AFL organised success. Even deadbeat Clubs like Carltank, Bumblers and Norf tried the same but mainly recruited C Graders on A Graders salaries.

The shrieking squeals from racist and corrupt McGuire and other tosspottey aficionados about Sydney remain are music to my ears.

How much have Sydney players benefited from rising house prices?

The wealth Syd players gain from property ownership completely outweights any rents etc.

most cannot afford to buy. Sure some have others lost money - renters like Hickey. Recruits get stacked into sharing rental properties and pay as much in rent as the cost of an inner Melbourne one bed flat.

Vic players can get into negative gearing, reduce taxable income etc.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Sooner or later the ATO will do a big audit of players and Clubs. ASIC will have an interest as well. Happy times.

Yep the average player on $400K is really struggling to get into property ownership. Buddy and Tippett would have struggled big time.
