Opinion Non-Crows AFL 13: Offseason

[Moonwatcher]

Yeah I mean if I was playing at St Kilda and there was no reasonable prospect of short term success, I'd jump ship

It can turn around reasonably quickly when people stay even if 7 years felt like a life time for us.

Seems certain that TDK will be a trade. Blues will get about 9 as compo, surely they’re not definitely rolling the dice to get more? If they’re after a share of the NWM bounty, it’s looking like a bunch of crappy firsts and future firsts. Might be easier to accept 9, be a bit miffed and move on.

Carlton won’t have the cap space to match the saints insane offer

My money is on Zorko

Ironically he was the victim, last time this happened

Taking his temperature?

 

[adelaidecrows]

Well he is a hack two bit journalist with a penchant for lying and rumours. So it really is no surprise he was asleep at the wheel when a real news story broke.

there is no way to explain that away. The AFL have to step in here and really dish out a lengthy suspension. Players regardless of male or female shouldnt be worried that their opponent is going to treat them like a finger puppet mid match.

Oh boy imagine if this happened

It's amazing how St Kilda always finds a new way to be unsuccessful. One of the foundation clubs of the league, won one flag by one point 59 years ago, Ross Lyon walked out on them and the club came crawling back to him when past his prime. The club has gotten almost nothing right for 150 years and never seems to have any luck either.

How did Doedee go on the weekend?

How did Doedee go on the weekend?

Looked like a guy who hadn't played AFL in 2 years. But he'll get better, he'll get a month of AFL prior to the Finals and they can reevaluate how he's performing from there you'd think.

They got smashed by injuries didn’t they?

Lose last 2 and they could miss, wow, one week ago they were premiership favourites

Tough games too, Freo (away) and then Hawthorn.

Got Neale out ATM and I think Doods is in for Ryan Lester who got a concussion. Noah Answerth is done for the year, they've had a few injuries crop up across their backline.

They are in real danger of losing both and missing out.

Finals or top 4?

Top 4 absolutely, but if results dont fall their way they could miss altogether (I think)

What a crazy year.

Playing around with the ladder predictor. The West Coast game was the perfect result for us. Should give us a kick up the arse and show the lads we need to be switched on every game. However - we got the 4 points. If we lost it would have been absolutely catastrophic

Exactly this. I was looking at the ladder before the match and thought gee we are hanging by a thread lucky we have a game in hand otherwise there could be trouble.
Thankfully we won the game and just need to win one more.

Tend to be surprised when WA greats retire, their game tally always seems low compared to how long they’ve seemed to be around. Look at McGovern, has looked like he’s playing his last season for 3 years and is medically retired, checked games played when heard, didn’t make 200. Would have put money on it being between 250 and 300.

The constant flights to and from Perth seem to take a toll, especially with respect to recovery. I saw some statistic showing that the Dockers and Eagles have had hardly any 300-game players.

The Weagles only have 1 - Shannon Hurn (333 games). Freo have 2 - David Mundy (376) and Matthew Pavlich (353).

In contrast, Hart, Roo, Macca & Edwards all got there from our class of 97/98.

Tex is currently on 297, and is expected to play his 300th in the first week of the finals. He will be our first player to reach the 300 game milestone in ~20 years.

Interestingly, Melbourne still only have 2x 300+ game players (Nathan Jones & David Neitz), despite having been in the V/AFL since the league was created.

Collingwood only have 3 or 4 too.

Debunks the air flight theory then

Payne is a huge loss to their structure.

With someone like Harley Reid, are you better off trading the pick than the player?

If West Coast had put Pick 1 on the table it would have gone to the highest bidder.

Whereas in 3 years time if Reid asks for a trade he'll nominate a club and WCE is limited in negotiating with just that club

 

[Cleric]

The word is that Miles Bergman might have signers regret at Port and ask for a trade at the end of the year.
