What unpopular AFL opinions do you have? (Part 1 - cont in Part 2)

[shoebox]

There should be no guidelines/restrictions on sledging. The point is to put the player of their game. If the sledger wants to give a low blow then that's his prerogative

Yep, there's few Hawks damaging their legacy at the minute. Guess that what happens when you're lead by a petulant teenager.

Who cares about the standard of soccer? Top tier, bottom tier, its still a boring, slow, defensive orientated sport, where scoring is rare and at a premium.

Enough of this A-league/EPL elitism bullshit.

 

[Stratton_Gun]

Your mob knows all about low blows

Unpopular opinions I have:
1. I think nick holland was a pile of s**t as a Yer and as a person. Thrilled when Clarkson told him he was finished and then he sobbed to the media like the anal campaigner he is.
2. Ben Holland too is an anal campaigner. He, like his unwanted brother, often betrayed his club by going to the media.
3. John Barker is a hack. One good season at Hawthorn.

Always thought the Hollands were the template for Tippett and Jesse White. Overpaid poor output third string forwards

LEGACY.

I would support a twilight grand final, but not a night game grandfinal.

 

[drviccles]

That the players should wear longer shirts instead of singlets. No rationale reason why...just like the NRL outfits better

 

[Ashton Agar]

Brent Harvey is just a good player, nothing else. And probably the worst of the four 400-gamers.

Arent you like 12? How many of the 1200+ games of the other 3 have you seen?

Not twelve, but yeah I haven't seen the first two. But from what I've heard from people like my old man is they were both champions.

The Yank on SEN(Radio Station) who reports on American sport. Feel free to call him and vent your spleen. Secondly, yep Carlton cheated on the salary cap and were punished accordingly. Never disputed. Not sure the penalty reflected the crime when you consider what Essendon has been involved in. Speaking of drugs, let us examine West Coast's misdemeanours shall we? Where do we start? Ben Cousins, Daniel Chick, Michael Gardiner, Chad Fletcher and of course the Late Chris Mainwaring. Then we have the ongoing speculation about why and how the Eagles monstered teams size wise in the early 90's. No AFL investigation into that can of worms. Everyone at West Coast subsequently pulled the Sgt Schultz excuse. I see nothing, I hear nothing..... West Coast managed to dance between the rain drops and avoid any sanctions, even though they had hard evidence that a number of their players were consorting with organized crime.

On the West Coast issue what is it exactly you think the Eagles should have been sanctioned for? Having players on their list who took recreational drugs? Having players who consorted with criminals? Is there or has there ever been an AFL rule that would see the football club sanctioned for this? Individual players may be up for "bringing the game into disrepute" but I don't think the West Coast Eagles Football Club can be officially penalised. Bit of straw clutching here if you are trying to compare these allegations to Carltons self admitted salary cap rorting.

Harvey >>> Fletcher

 

[Ashton Agar]

Harvey >>> Fletcher

Fletcher is one of the best full backs of the modern era, and can play on the talls and smalls.

Harvey is just your average good midfielder.

 

[Quivorir]

Oh God. Ashton please.stop.

 

[Ashton Agar]

Oh God. Ashton please.stop.

He is. He's not near the likes of Hird, Voss, Riccuito, Buckley, Ablett, Judd, Cousins, Black, Fyfe, Pendlebury etc in recent times.

Of course you'll disagree, you are a North fan.

 

[Quivorir]

Ok so he is not elite like the above. But average? Pull the other one.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

R.e. the 400 club, I'd have:

1. KB.
2. Tucky.
3. Boomer.
4. Fletch.

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

You dont play 350 plus games being average

Im not boomers greatest fan but he has been a great player over the years

 

[Tyrone Time]

I'd like to have relations with Caroline Wilson.

You mean business relations right? ... right?

 

[detox]

I'm not a boomer fan but he is easily better than Fletcher.

I would always worry the most when playing North about Boomer cutting us up. Never have I once worried about the influence Fletcher will have on our forwards.

Fletcher is an above AFL quality, better than serviceable defender. He is a quality player with remarkable durability, but no superstar

 

[Tyrone Time]

Um....yes...of course I did...right....um....
