I don’t suppose you will expand on this?

There’s a clashing of personalities between some of the Crows coaching staff.

 

[crafty_bernardo]

Roo's good mate Burton vs Pyke

 

[philthy05]

Drew somewhat stiff

Very similar outputs but one was in an upset win and another a massive loss.

Also one competed in the centre against some of the most hyped clearance mids in the game and the other skated on the outside against opponents well known to barely look at their opposition

This post is like cocaine cut with viagra to this board.

He delivered C4 to our door.

Bailey Scott fully deserved the nomination, he was close to North's best.

Arguably deserved the nomination because of his body of work that day,

... close to norths best on a day most their fans would line up 90% of the team against a wall and shoot them because they were so lame? .. not really the positive it should be.

 

[Schulzenfest]

21 disposals at 90% efficiency and 2 goals on debut playing for a team that was getting belted. Scott is a very deserving nominee. Pick your battles. If you start claiming everything as a 'Victorian conspiracy' then people won't pay any attention to your complaints when we do genuinely get dudded.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Ken, Voss and CD are all aligned.

It’s the exact opposite to what’s happening at West Lakes right now.

Interesting. I know you probably cant elaborate, but are the ex SANFL coaches who ran a whole club for a few years struggling to just be line coaches?

 

[DaTBird187]

Bailey Scott saved my Dream Team. Get around him.

First time you've been unequivocally wrong. There are no personalities in the Crows coaching staff.

It was a well-executed conspiracy. Duh!

OK, how about "There wasn't a lot of distance between Scott and Drew"?

Wait who is this aimed at?

I said Scott is deserving but considering both players had similar outputs but one was an inside mid going against highly rated inside mids in a upset win and the other an outside mid who barely had an opponent in a massive loss drew was a bit stiff.

 

[manureid]

Not shocked he got it. If it was a 50/50 call they were always going to try to give Norf some hope by naming him. We will get some noms this season.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Did you hear him say our targeting of Gawn wasn't in the spirit of the game as well haha.

Lol without mentioning the fact that Robbie and Wingard were targeted in a similar way for just about every game over a 5 year period?

 

[philthy05]

Not shocked he got it. If it was a 50/50 call they were always going to try to give Norf some hope by naming him. We will get some noms this season.

Rozee butters Duursma drew Farrell and Marshall are all eligible for us.

I’m thinking we could have 4/5 noms this year.

Anyone know what the record is for team rising star noms in 1 season?

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Also Scott was the clear right choice for me

Drew was great, but it would have been close between him and Walsh for second

The fact that him, butters and duursma were all in contention is awesome though, and they'll all get their chance

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Add Marshall and Rozee in to that mix and we could even have 5 nominees by year end

 

[rogerjames]

Wingard will kill it in this team. How clean and skilful are the Hawks.

Has to be training as they turn over players and yet still maintain high levels of skill. Got to admire them even if begrudgingly

 

[finbarr]

I don’t really care who got the rising star nomination. Not sure why fans care so much about this.

Drew had a win, Scott didn’t. I know which one had the bigger smile on his face come Monday at training.

 

[StrappingTape]

Don't think anyone does. The Rising Star award is so pointless in AFL.

AFL 2019: Tensions flare between Channel 7, Gill McLachlan over Marvel Stadium naming ‘edict’

Tensions have flared up between broadcasters Channel 7 and AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan over the name of Marvel Stadium.
Comic book giants Marvel took over naming rights for the ground late last year, replacing airline Etihad. Since then the arena has been called Marvel Stadium.
However Foxfooty.com.au senior AFL reporter Tom Morris revealed that McLachlan was unhappy on the weekend when Seven’s commentators were told to not refer to the ground as Marvel Stadium, instead calling it Docklands.

So it's not Marvel Stadium according to AFL .. Oh dear ... make up your bloody mind ..

 

[Enviable Tradition]

I was thinking of creating a separate thread so we could keep all the pitching for our players to get the rising star nom and whining when we don't get it in one spot.

The obvious name being "I can't believe it's not Butters".

The AFL want it called Marvel, it is just chancel 7 that don't. It is part of a turf war with Chanel 9.

 

[MitchIn3D]

The AFL want it called Marvel, it is just chancel 7 that don't. It is part of a turf war with Chanel 9.

Because everyone in Australia knows that Channel 9 owns Stan, which streams Marvel movies, and as such Channel 7 commentators saying the word "Marvel" is blatant and obvious promotion for a competitor.

Channel 7 chucking a tantrum because they spend their money of the rights to broadcast sport rather than a digital streaming service.
