Opinion Non-Crows AFL 11: Succession plans and other lols

[treeman]

I keep hearing about Ports golden move to play Rozee off half back.

Surely you man him up with a decent defender and he'll be found out right?

Also, why was the move made.

Bergman was outstanding in their first three games. Has struggled since Rozee effectively took his role.

Was the move to serve a weakness in the side, OR to get Conor Rozee into the game as he has struggled in midfield this year?

Lloyd made the comment that clubs have been paying close attention to him in the midfield and he wasn't coping. Particularly with Butters out

He's more or less been left to his own devises at HB in the 2 games to date

What is a premiership song?

Great Question, Moon.
The whole of club played it in the rooms after significant in season games..ultimately embracing it all the way & playing it after their premiership win.

Hard to believe that Geelong side lost to St Kilda

I remember back to when Hawthorn was winning flags and they oddly dropped a few games in a row to an otherwise very medicore Richmond. Footy is an odd game.

People even thinking they’d like the hawks to win have definitely never lived in Melb. Absolutely insufferable, the worst by a fair stretch.

Oh come on we have a little brother

Yeah ok, fair enough. I’ve been away long enough to for those memories to have faded a bit.

Must feel good

Must feel good

I did nearly get clocked by a genuinely psycho port supporter at a showdown a couple of years ago. He’d been talking about how he’d just got out of jail, and was extremely upset I put an empty beer cup down in his vicinity. Coppers came just in time tho.

To be fair, they have had success in every decade since the 1980s and along with WCE are the most successful AFL club.

At least their chest beating about how great they are is not based on mini league wins in a bygone era.....

More than likely one of the better ones

Seriously when you come down that race at Alberton between the bowling club and the wire fence, it was like a scene out of One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest that haven’t yet received their medication

 

[Slime Roy]

It's always been a "soccer" song to me

Ah, I didn't know that. It definitely has a Euro Trash feel.

Glad to hear Jordan Hinkleys landed on his feet

 

[Cromulant]

Looking like an outlier for both the Saints and Cats

Very much so, as last week was for the Hawks.

I think our performance by and large against Geelong stacks up

 

[ams4crows]

Ah, I didn't know that. It definitely has a Euro Trash feel.

It's something soccer teams sing after they win a championship in Europe, also fans generally make a chant about a player like "Ciro is on fire, your defence is terrified, Ciro is on fire, your defence is terrified, na na na na na etc"

Also pretty much every A-League team/ fan base does it too.

Woah, So it is deeply rooted in sport.
It's good I guess..sort of like We Will Rock You, Simply the Best or Burning Down The House.
I've just only really noticed it this year since AnB has come across & now im hearing it at lots of grounds & on the broadcast ad breaks.
I actually just looked it up & it's from '96'
So it was probably a bit of a novelty song at the time, alot of music had moved on from that sound.
Heck that was the year of Macaren!

So at the showdown, keays goes straight to Rozee at half back and that will be a horror matchup for Rozee with Keays gut running both ways and able to hit the scoreboard. Make him have to be accountabe and have a guy on him that will make his life a misery

There were people there that literally looked like they crawled out from under rocks. One had those badges of port players all through her hair and over her clothes. It was like a scene from deliverance

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Half the problem is the AFL haven't worked out how to coordinate 4 field umpires. Go back to 3 with a rotating 4th on the bench.

The issue isn't the 4th umpire providing better coverage, it's inconsistent umpiring and umps not even sure if it's their turn to adjudicate.

100% this!

Not only has the 4th umpire added to the inconsistency, it's added a 4th umpire who is not up to standard.

The umpiring has never been worse & Dillon is delusional thinking it's been the best ever.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Matt Hill such a pleasure to listen to

An actual caller of the game.

What a concept...

Very unattractive people

got a week.

There's a difference between striking and throwing the ball at someone.

Smith incident was striking.

If he threw the ball that would have been misconduct.

Intentional, low impact, high = 1 week (I think)
