2016 Non Crows AFL Discussion thread Part 2

[Don Muraco]

I agree.

Mundine's statement seemed headline grabbing. But if he feels the need to boycott, that's up to him but to jump on the bandwagon of the #blacklivesmatter campaign against police shootings in the US seems to be insensitive and bandwagon-ish.

Mundine promoting Good vs Bad for the Green fight. Aussie Don King.

Think I'll wait till they're in the bargain bin. Vomit.

Ever since Nick Stevens I can't recall a player not ending up at a club he nominates.


I would bet the AFL and clubs have some sort of gentleman's agreement to ensure that does not happen again. In fear of players striking and/or wanting more money.

Actually I think in fear of players going outside the AFL walls and sueing for restraint of trade

AFL is its own little extra-legal fiefdom where everyone agrees to play by its rules and not invoke the laws and courts of the wider world beyond. Every now and then someone threatens to do so and thereby gets to stretch the boundaries a little

With the WADA Essendon saga the AFL learnt what it means when outside legal bodies get involved. They don't want that to happen too often

Yeah there could be that.

But their Union is a strong one. Right now it is holding up the salary agreement.

Can't wait for the AFL "draw" to come out for next season. WB surely can't get 9 home games in a row again and Geelong shouldn't get the benefit of double up games against the bottom teams again. And will be interesting to see if the Bulldogs Essendon or Carlton(6 years?) play us Here for the first time in ages.

 

[GreyCrow]

I just asked when the Preview Draw comes out.

Look at the Dogs to get Geelongs draw

We already played them here in 2016 ...

 

[Tyls83]

Oops, scratch that but Carlton has been ridiculous

 

[SydCrow]

Also expect to get GWS in Sydney.

Last 4 matches against Bulldogs plus one final have been in Melbourne. It sucks. What irks me more is Collingwood, Essendon, Carlton never having to play at Geelong. Richmond haven't played there in the last 4 years. One of the toughest gigs when Geelong have been a very good team over the last10 years, and these pampered clubs get an even playing field while all other teams get the tough gig.

 

[latinoheat]

Don't think the Bulldogs make the grand final next year .

Poor form from the president IMO. It was unfortunate that Buddy hurt his ankle in the first quarter.

So who will we be playing then?

The man is bloated, pig-headed, nasty, pushy....

 

[latinoheat]

Dunno, but don't think the doggies can bring that emotion and passion and relentless vigour again next year.
But on talent I'd imagine GWS would be one of the sides contending.

No I'm not .... . Never heard of the guy before TBH, but how about showing some humility.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Huh? .....Malthouse actually said the opposite to this 4 weeks ago when the move was first mooted ??????

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Simply amazing ......Liam Picken looks like a kid ...... 30 YO this year !

I'm hoping we are seeing the Buddy curse. Made a big song and dance about leaving Hawthorn to win more flags at Sydney and is 0-2 in getting them over the line.

Played now in 3 losing grand finals.

 

[Rotayjay]

Buddy's still a very good player.

But let's take a moment to reflect on just how pea-hearted Kurt Tippett and his grand final performances are.

Has he played in one or two?
