No Oppo Supporters 2016 General AFL Discussion Part 2 (Sydney Posters Only)

That's what happens when you beat Collingwood two GFs in a row, I guess. We should count ourselves lucky we didn't make it in 2003.

Funny enough I was talking to a Lion who played in the 3 and he said we should have won that Prelim, it was just their belief from the previous 2 years that got their banged up bodies over the line.

However I won't support a PP for Brisbane. They didn't have to sell the farm for Beams.

So no Priority Pick for Brisbane because it feeds into the "go home" problem but if they trade for a player raised in Queensland to off set the "go home" problem its then "selling the farm". That is the most flawed logic yet you've come up with.

Can't improve their list, can't trade in players raised in Queensland and can't request help. Your saying keep the cycle going.....

Sub rule abolished for 2016 and the interchange cap will be reduced to 90.

 

[The King!]

Happy with sub rule

Cap shits me

Might see a change in the second ruck

They can have Brion though i hope he is ok with that

Going to make more stoppages. Players fatigued by the 4th term and just bomb it long. Going to be a drop of skilled players for athletes who can just run out games

Something internally is wrong that the public is not privy to a PP wont fix the issue.

Aish i understand they backed their system to keep him but it didnt work out thats life.

 

[bedford]

Its the coach, they need to get rid of him and get someone like Woosha

 

[scaryness]

It's a joke that North are allowed to rest as many players as they want.

That game will directly affect 5th-8th (and possibly 4th-8th if we lose) spots on the ladder.

Fremantle resting players only affects 9th-10th

In 2004 it was even more evident. Just making that GF carrying all those warhorses in 2004 was probably one of that club's greatest achievements (although they'd probably never admit it).

 

[The King!]

North are a joke

 

[Troystenvic]

North are a joke

They should be embarrassed. I hope the crows pump the living crap out of them week 1 of the finals

 

[ashep]

I think North have just as much right to rest players as Freo or anybody else.

They shouldn't be punished because the luck of the draw happens to mean that their game impacts other finals teams and Freo's doesn't.

 

[scaryness]

More of an AFL problem than a North problem.

The fact that the AFL ticked it off rather recklessly, all things considered, is huge. There is a clear difference between the Freo situation and this current one.

I can see it from both sides. The ultimate goal is to win a flag and teams manage their list throughout the season in order to accomplish that.

Players not giving their best effort on the field in order to manipulate a result is absolutely unacceptable. But I've got no problem with a coach keeping his powder dry for a game that matters.

 

[Number37]

North are a joke

Setting themselves up for the biggest #LOLNORF of them all.

What can one say, other than #LOLNORF

 

[Syd]

No priority picks isn't the answer. We need more players from QLD and NSW

Maybe set up some Academies....

Agreed. As long as the players on the field are doing their best to win then teams can rest whoever they want.

LWS fail. You know your marketing isn't working when people forget you exist:

[scaryness]

Hindsight is always 20/20.

But I bet Geelong are kicking themselves that they didn't take GWS's trade offer last year of Pick 4 for Johnson.

Would have had two top 10 picks vs one more season from an old club champion.

5 game suspension should be sufficient.

* that. Hawks the family club should give him another week at least. Gold Coast did to their players and he BROKE the law... ******* hell

 

[PVF]

Culcha.

 

[scaryness]

This is the same club that just had one of their assistant coach's son die because of a car accident while possibly under the influence.

"Hodge has transformed himself from one of the AFL’s most colourful characters into a leader of men at Hawthorn."

Whilst it's true Hodge has become a great leader, anyone who uses the phrase "leader of men" without irony is an utter hack.
