2021 Non-Crows AFL Talk 2: are the VFL corrupt?

[jackster83]

They've got a mouthy chairman, it attracts attention.

Some rabbles getting around this year.

Us and Essendon look to be a lot more on track compared to the other bottom 7-8 clubs.

Wonder if Teague will have the balls to drop Eddie this week. 6 touches. 1 behind.

Might have to get rid of some older guys and start a rebuild at that club

Teague has his favourites. Won't drop Eddie, though they may "manage" him at some point.

 

[FR0GGY]

Whitfield is so damn good. I hope Sholl was watching that play.

Didn’t port want Cameron before Hinkley?

Yes lucky we don't follow a club that keeps selecting underperforming veterans ...

He’ll need to clear it with Eddie’s wife first.

The highlight is the "surprised Pikachu" face after giving away 50 for telling the umpire they need glasses...

Anyone got that footage of the Carlton rooms at the draft when they decided to take Stocker and swap us for their first rounder the next year?

Also, from the bLoos site:

[Crow till I die]

So if we beat Carlton

Teague gets sacked?

Even better we should tell.teague we will take him back as our forward coach if he gets sacked..he will feel like that is a promotion

Carlton remind me of the 90s/early 00s English cricket team

Some guys that could individually play but had just been losing for so long that it was an ingrained culture.

Prior to Round 1 Carlton's seasons are full of promise. Hopes are high. While the season is being shaped though they are terrible. Then, once any hope of finals have gone, they relax and play better. Nothing to lose. Finish each season out of the running but putting together a few wins, full of optimism about the following season. Rinse, repeat.

Their games follow a similar path. Optimistic going in. When the game's canvas is blank... garbage. Once the game is lost and they have nothing to lose, they suddenly play better. Kick a few goals. Bit of a comeback. Maybe they could...? No, fell short. But such promising signs! Pity about the start. Can't wait til next week. Rinse, repeat.

Andy Caddick was England's loser mentality King. Shithouse in first innings when the games were being set up. Once all hope was lost and they were a mile behind in the game, a world class second innings performer.

England needed to go past Stewart, Atherton, Hick, Thorpe, Gough, Caddick, Ramprakash et al, even though they were good players individually. All developed a deep-seated losing mentality which was poisonous and got passed down through the team. Had to be cut out like cancer. 2005 was a new team, not a battle-scarred one.

Hick always made me laugh

”could be the greatest batsman ever”

Good call!

And he's such an arrogant twat in his commentary now, revelling when England do well like a pig in s**t

 

[Deaneus!]

I guess we want the Hawks to win today, huh?

and just quietly I don’t think Norf are that bad anymore

Balls? Really?
Wash your mouth out young lady.
Disgusting.

 

[spenze]

Nice to see Selwood protected again by the tribunal

 

[FR0GGY]

Nice to see Selwood protected again by the tribunal

The AFL strive for consistency and he consistently gets let off.
Tick

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Nice to see Selwood protected again by the tribunal

What do you expect from sHocking.

Will look after his old club where possible.

Which is a worse look for the game - Selwood's incidents or Mackay's?!

 

[jackster83]

Who will be the next coach sacked?

Teague?
Dew?
Cameron?

It’s been going on a lot longer than he’s been in the job.

 

[pjcrows]

It'd be ironic if we beat the Blues next Sunday and end Teague's career.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

It’s been going on a lot longer than he’s been in the job.

The VAFL have always looked after the bigger Victorian clubs.

 

[hey shorty]

Good call!

He contributed precisely nothing to the position they're in now.

 

[RoweyThePainter]

Who will be the next coach sacked?

Teague?
Dew?
Cameron?

Well the outrage over Gold Coast lasted about 30 minutes as usual because literally about 5 people care about them, so it won't be Dew.

Shouldn't be Cameron.

So that leaves ..... Ratten? I mean Teague.
