Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2025

[2big2strom]

From the team I saw named, id be shocked if half a state team + friends is better than our current list

if I had to rank them in order of likelihood to make it in the AFL, i would rank Friends like this:

1. Monica
2. Chandler
3. Joey
4. Rachel
5. Ross
6. Phoebe

Joey number 1 dude!

 

[Madas]

Can you imagine what an independent review could've found rather than the bloke that originally cooked their books?

It’s would be laughable if it wasn’t so pathetic

Pheobe in 6 is a traversty, clear number 1.

I mean, Ross at 5 is ridiculous. The on field leadership alone moves him up the order

[Moo]

Have you played Coup?

No - but I will be on this recommendation faster than a cheetah on a jet ski.

I understand what you are saying, but the effect on a club on the receiving end is completely different to the effect on an individual, sorry but it's not comparable at all.

Again, my point is about the responsibility of the player manager in the process.

I think they routinely gouge clubs in a quest to maximise player contracts and their own commissions. From the outside it looks like they are complicit in the creation of a cut throat trade environment. Yes it is sometimes the player's throat.

Aleer likely being traded was out in the public domain for a long time. Saints as possible destination. If my manager is aware or enabling that I'm not happy. And if clubs do behave unprofessionally then I want my manager to impact that.

Joey number 1 dude!

Joey reminds me a bit of Vossy where he would celebrate too hard and injure himself and others

I can picture Joey winning a center clearance, dodge all the tacklers, go inside 50 and kick the goal.

Then he goes up to Chandler whom isnt celebrating.

Chandler giving him that desperate look says sarcastically"Oh nice goal Joey, BUT WE'RE GOING THAT WAAAAAY. "

....and im in this room now writing friends fan fiction on bigfooty.

 

[Purple Suit]

We should be thankful that Mitch Clark chose to go to Melbourne, that move saved us from ourselves. He didn't achieve much post that trade.

Nah,
In my mind he was the missing piece and he would have replaced Zac Clarke in the 2013 GF. I recon he doesn’t get mental health issues if he returns home and would have been the 2nd tall forward our team lacked and made everyone more dangerous.

Ross is 7th with daylight 6th.

Once when I did ayahuasca with a group of people, everyone else experienced life-transforming, mind-altering affirmations with such profound clarity they truly felt whole and at peace.

My entire trip was comprised of hallucinations I was hiking in a Bolivian rainforest with Alfred the waterbottle.

I believe I had the far better experience.

Alfred is the sort of campaigner we need in the team

 

[Arcassius]

Never heard of it, but had a look and it looks like fun.

It gets better the more you play (and get into each other's heads)

 

[The Round House Drunk]

It gets better the more you play (and get into each other's heads)

I play a house rule where you have to guess the opponent’s character for a coup to be successful, as it brings the assassin, contessa and ambassador into the game more.

Haha, look at me…

 

[freo_leo29]

Simply, West Coast and Fremantle get all WA players. (Greater than 1/9 players come from WA)

Each set up an academy and any players they can get.

SA, NSW, QLD clubs would do the same. I think that is better than current system.

We actually had a fairly similar case study in AFLW

WA team was meant to be a powerhouse with state drafts

Turns out WA players still go over East to live in Melbourne and noone comes here from over there


We would be screwed if it happened in the mens

This is also ignoring how like 75% of the players would pick WC over us too (I know right now we look the goods but if this rule was brought in at any time then it favours WC and would continue favouring them as it becomes a kind of self fulfilling thing with them consistently getting the better players, so they stay good)

allowing Durdin and Brodie to come in.

Wehr I can at least see being seminal decent.

They already have a huge amount of rubbish on that list. They’ve just gone and added more and closed the bin lid

Brodie has his good season when Carr was here as midfield coach. Carr probably thinks he can replicate that at Port.

They were rubbish this year, they’ve traded in 3 c grade to f grade players and they have one draft pick.

Bottom 4 again
