2020 Non-Crows AFL Discussion Part 2

[Bearded Clam]

He'll double down.

yep.. next minute he’ll say something even crazier.. like.. the two midfield draftees, Hollands and phillips, are already better players than Brad Crouch...

 

[GrommoT]

Carlton jump ahead of GWS on the ladder too.

Finishing 9th in a shortened season playing mostly their older players is pretty funny actually. Massive false dawn for their supporters.

Hopefully things go according to plan in the WC-GWS game.

No it's going to be us taking 2 talls in this year's draft with the first 2 picks, despite our dire need for midfielders

 

[hey shorty]

Greene is back, GWS will win.

Oh well, would be good to put another club above GWS ... but it's still early days.

GWS are literally the mirror image of us after losing the granny except for the crickets

 

[FR0GGY]

I think that would be too similar and still fall afoul of copyright issues

How can a flag have copyright issues?
Can we sue the shit outta NZ or the UK

Shhh...

Don't tell the UK we pinched their flag.

FAITH's hatred of Luko reminds me of Marty's hatred of Doedee. Even with Marty, I can see why he hates him, as stupid as the reason is. FAITH and Luko is just bizarre.

 

[Kraven]

Think he's just taking the piss at this point. Because he knows its annoying people.

Have they suffered a hamstring plague too?

With Brisbane going into lockdown, glory be, please cancel the 2020* season.

The threat is now real. An Adelaide Oval Grand Final looms as a real possibility.

The horror.

Let’s just lock in pick 1 before we cancel the season please.
Imagine going to a lottery getting pick 15 then Brad nets us 16 lol!

WA surely? Hopefully.

Only logical explanation.......otherwise it plainly shows his lack of knowledge about the game

Brisbane isn't going into lockdown.

Faith could just stop at the statement 'I think the king brothers will be better players than Luko'. That is a reasonable statement considering both look like they will be stars. They could turn out to be a bit better than him and he might be right.

It's the constant talking down of Luko that is crazy considering he is also tracking to be a star. Even if there are a few better than him from that draft, you are still going to be more than satisfied with Luko.

 

[hey shorty]

He's got the best kick in his draft class, considering his size that's remarkable.

This script seems very familiar.

I think he should keep his comments in the “round ball” discussion, he may have a better understanding

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Lukos kicking is so damn good it would almost be wasteful to play him in the forward line. Future AA CHB surely.

So if Ferret Snot** is right about a Crows player intending to be at Suns next year, (and it's not Brouch) who do we think GC could do with?

Opinions seem to be RAtkins is the likely one but the following are also out of contract end of this year: Hartigan, Polhoke, Knight, Wilson and a few others who seem unlikely (supposedly a player hitting prime AFL age).

Could it be a contracted player who wants to go to GC? Mrouch?


**aka The cockroach aka Rooch

None of those you mention will be any loss.

So it is rumoured the WA Government is willing to offer $35m to the AFL to host the GF as they expect by mid-October to be able to have a full house.

It is reported that ticket prices will be $800- $1500 or so - do the numbers 60,000 x say average $600 = $36m.

Seems a no brainer.

 

[footy4ever]

All this Luko fawning.

Sure, praise good players, and developing players but the constant ogling of Luko...and Rankin for that matter make it seem like the Crows did something wrong in not drafting them.

It would be nice to drag them to the AFC, but that is never going to happen. Crows were never in the running to get them in the first place, and won't be in the running when they're careers are nearly over and they're looking for a Gibbs style superannuation contract...at least I hope we're never in the running when that time comes.

I think there is one chance to possibly get them is when they become a FA and if that happens to coincide at the time if we are in a premiership window.

Those events not only seem impossible but a fantasy in 2020.
