Preview Trial game - Crows V Port - 5pm Friday 23 Feb at Alberton Oval

[Kane McGoodwin]

Are we seeing a different looking AFL now Gil the dull has left?

They went hard with a statement with Thomas.

Now going hard with SPP as the 1st head high contact after Brayshaw incident.

The test will be when an incident occurs involving a big name from a powerful Victorian club.

Is that Gillon's New Zealand cousin?

Is that Gillon's New Zealand cousin?

Lol, nice typo as I found him both dull & a dill...& a ken doll.

 

[Jirkago75]

I bet he is top 10 league wide for contested marks per game played , will be an interesting stat follow this year

That will be a nice progression

I think the exciting bit is he’s nowhere near a finished product and has alot of improvement to come

Probably won’t be anywhere near his peak for another 3 years and will have some frustrating moments this year , no doubt

Good call, he will be much better in 2 years when Tex retires. He will be more a CHF than FF. Let’s just hope he learns as much as possible while Tex is there and then emulates him. Think he and Fog will form an awesome 1 2

Reckon Andrew Dillion is more aware of legal consequences than Gill. Andrew has a background in legal.

Yeah I'll reserve judgement until a big name player at one of the big Melbourne clubs gets a hefty suspension.

This happens most years if you get done early in the season

AFL: It's something that in 2024 is deserving of a four-match suspension ... it sends a message to the playing community about the standards expected of players... to take the utmost care in any action that might result in a collision with the head.

The bigger test will come during finals when a big name player has a similar incident.

Preliminary final 2024, Collingwood win the game and Nick Daicos bumps someone and causes a concussion. We all know what the result will be. He will be playing the next week in the GF without a doubt.

Mr Pepper-Powell gets 4

Mr Pepper-Powell gets 4

At least we won't have to worry about him sniping another one of our players when we play Port in round 3.

Showdown is round 8

 

[ams4crows]

Omg it's not a parody account it's real!! Haha

Pretty funny though as that is the tribunal reporter hope they keep it up for more LOLs during the season

 

[MarcusP2]

Imagine getting suspended for 20% of the season in the first quarter of the first practice match.

 

[Crow-eater]

That's a parody account right?? Because of the 1 in the handle?

Pretty funny though as that is the tribunal reporter guy and a heap of people will be fooled, hope they keep it up for more LOLs during the season

No, that's the real David Zita.

Yep the AFL need to pass the Cotchin Test

 

[DJ75]

Yep the AFL need to pass the Cotchin Test

The AFL are yet to pass the 'Big Vic club player should be suspended, but it's an important match' test.
Not once.

 

[GROTTO]

Hey Mr Gui Guojie look who is laughing now?

Yes Im tagging you into a thread you didnt post in.

Passively laughing at posts by opposition posters may be considered trolling and our Mods have mentioned it many times on here. I didnt report you, as I was waiting for the Karma Bus to arrive at Alberton today.

 

[cmndstab]

Showdown is round 8

Damn it, I must have been looking at the 2023 fixture.

Still, there's got to be at least even odds that he snipes someone again in rounds 5-7 and misses the Showdown anyway.

 

[GROTTO]

EskimoPAFC why are you so salty on your board about SPP ban?

The thug got what he deserved.

 

[WetCrow1991]

Not even a practice match. A match sim.

 

[beartoo]

I'll give you the first one that we were beaten at stoppages but not in the second game, that was ours.

I had to have a look to see if my memory was faulty and came up with a result that surprised me.
We won the clearances 50 to 39 in the 1st Showdown. Centre clearances 18 to 10. Stoppages 32 to 29.
2nd Showdown we lost clearances 34 to their 42. Centre clearances 8 to Pear 11. Stoppages 23 to 34.

Keane might be a bit disappointed.

Agree, the toughest suspensions seem to occur in the first few rounds - see McAdam from last year and player wasn’t even concussed or high contact.

 

[CrowBloke]

This year I reckon our kids will do better in the midfield which will hopefully push us along the ladder.

UP, right?
