Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2024

[wakojako]

I'm a pretty annoying person but naughton looks really annoying

Him and his old man are pretty decent people.

 

[gaskin]

Yeah, I've had a quick chat to Naughton at a South Freo game and he has seemed like he is alright.

 

[nurries]

I'm getting out of dodge if I'm Bont - what a nothing effort from the rest of their midfielders.

Didn’t think Bont was great either tonight seemed a bit uninterested in the contest. Maybe carrying something or maybe Bevo starting to lose players?

 

[BStaff17]

Still think Dogs would be good with a decent coach. Bevo is useless & have no idea how he still has a job.

Twats in the media say JL is under pressure yet perennial underachievers like him & Hinkley seem impervious.

What sort of moron would leave a decent player like Lobb in the 2’s & someone who could be AA as a defender like Naughton down forward without even trying the alternative? Especially when they can’t defend.

He won a flag and got them to 2 GFs.

It's better then Ken Hinkley at Port Adelaide.

I think Bevo would be better off at another club time for a fresh start elsewhere.

 

[Joao]

Looked like a game separated by accuracy to me.

Bont was one of the worst offenders though?
Barely touched it.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Whether JL is a long term coach or not, under no circumstances should we be chasing Beveridge

 

[E Shed]

Bont was one of the worst offenders though?
Barely touched it.

He had a hard tag. The commentary on Fox highlighted it after the game. Some young fella did a great job.

 

[Stinky Lomax]

Just saw footage of Libba falling over (collapsing is a bit extreme) after a large hit by Stringer. Delayed about 10 seconds after the hit & not one trainer or doctor went out to him at the time.
WTF is that all about?
As a supporter but more importantly as a parent I would be absolutely livid that his welfare wasn’t checked either on field or bring him off & check off field. He wouldn’t come off on his own, he’s not that player.
Theres not a lot of positivity coming out of that club at the moment & in the current climate of concern with player welfare, particularly with a player like Libba who has a history of combative injuries, not to get out there once aware is crap.

Edit to this, Bevo said he fell over because of an ankle tweak. I don’t want him anywhere near our players, there is no way he fell over because of an ankle & he’s trying to downplay it so he can play next week.

 

[Johnny Dalmas]

He's better than Hughes. At least as good defensively and a better decision maker and better skills.

Would absolutely take, especially as a FA but even as a trade.

Only thing is we'd need to find another role for Chappy as the backline would be getting crowded. Which is fine if the wing thing is legit.

Chapman needs to prove his availability first.

I wouldn't refuse the opportunity to recruit someone simply on the basis that one day Chapman may be fit enough to play 22 games.

Hopefully Chapman does get over his string of injuries and we would have a good problem to solve.

I'm on the same page as you.

The only caveat being that I know they are being super cautious with Aiden O'Driscoll - I'm still absolutely stunned they have managed to keep the details of his concussion under wraps however.

But part of me thinks that in a competitive environment they'd much rather be cautious with a 18 year old than a crucial player.

This is why the mandatory concussion time off is such an awful idea - clubs will now hide things. See the 2 Port players last year who weren't even assessed, see Jacob Weitering a few years ago with an 'eye injury'. Apparently Joel Selwood hasn't been concussed more than a few times according to Geelong - he suffered 'head knocks'.

The worst part about the mandatory time off is if they were following recommendations it would be approximately 4 weeks not 2 - so it's just a half assed measure to point back on from a litigation perspective.

 

[ilikepotatoes]

On that note - that concussion looks awful.

could be out for a while that concussion looks really bad. Worner hasn't returned yet from a similar one.

 

[james haish]

Taylor looked a lot worse than standard concussion.

 

[mattis117]

That one was truly horrible, prob the worst so far this year.

 

[Ge3ks]

Taylor looked a lot worse than standard concussion.

Slo-mo'ed it when it happened. When he hit the ground, you could see he already had a massive cut across the full length of his jaw. Possible broken jaw and definitely unconscious before he even hit the ground. Truly horrible.

 

[FreoGirl]

I can’t listen to Kelly Underwood. Why don’t they just use some screaming cats?

 

[FreoGirl]

That’s been really worrying

 

[Quay Club]

Yes looked very bad.

A real shame for him because he was in AA form.

Hopefully he gets through it ok.

 

[Hamann188]

God. Imagine a forward line of Hogan, Amiss and Treacy. With Jackson in there part time.

I hope Sam Tayor is ok. He is a terrific player

 

[Freo Big Fella]

Durham beat him, but surely someone in that (pretty stacked) midfield steps up and takes responsibility?

Reminded me of our bad old days when a hard tag on Fyfe or Hill would see us fall to bits.

is truly s**t. Saints would be better off dropping him.

 

[Madas]

Saints are pretty trash
Can’t see them going anywhere for another 5-10 years

 

[DQ 4EVER]

I believe we are better than both these teams

I don't like The Bulldogs, but it's been annoying how much the commentators are cheering on the drug cheats

I thought they were playing against Richmond this week
