The Association Football AFL Thread 4.0

[Frank Bunn]

I'm actually with the AFL on this one. I think Tassie should be left as the only club playing home games in the state.

Hawthorn are really only unhappy that they're losing out on the lucrative money from the deal.

$9.1 million per season wasn't it?

When they say 'Our removal will have a material impact on the Club, both on and off the field' I reckon they are angling for some compensation.

I'd give him a little more than that given 500k~ is roughly the AFL average. But not that much.

AFL average is exactly how I'd describe him lol.

 

[RPCB]

It's not his fault The West is an absolute rag.

He doesn't ask to be on the back page every time he scratches his arse.

I’ll give them a pass

Worst newpaper* but you get the idea

Club statement

Hawthorn has made the following statement on its future in Tasmania.

www.hawthornfc.com.au

Think the bit I love most about this is that Tom Harley is the one to deliver the news that they're once again homeless squatters being evicted.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Wouldn't have guessed that. Shows the difference between winning early and losing late and vice versa. One is hounded out and the other well regarded.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Well if every club is going to have an annoying small forward we might as well join in.
Definitely sounds like a 'miss out on Butters' pivot move though.

Fair chance you guys will be spending close to 2m a year on Amartey and Khamis if the rumours are to be believed.

We don't even have a list manager so the rumors are less real than ever

I think in the case of Khamis, the rumour this year is as flimsy as he agreed a contract to come to us last year, however, we ran out of the time to make a trade because the clubs couldn’t agree on a trade. But since then Nick Austin is gone and Graham Wright and Chris Davies weren’t around last year, so they likely wouldn’t be interested in Khamis this year.

No idea why the blues wouldn't chase Butts instead. Solid KPD. Only a year older but around 10cms taller.

Khamis looks to be a 3rd tall type. Playing on medium forwards. And would cost more.

Would much prefer him too. And we might be into him.

Khamis would work with Weitering and Dean and Ofarrel

Perfect, it just needs Jezza in the back with his cowboy hat on

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Oh do **** off. Now I am glad our game is at the same time and I'll not have to suffer this cringe shit.

 

[Quivorir]

Haha this is ridiculous.

I heard someone say, surely neutrals will watch the first 5-10 minutes of that game then flick over to ours anyway.

Does anyone care other than Collingwood fans? I don't know there's a whole lot of interest outside of the club.

 

[Nefarias_Bredd]

Mundy's 376 is a more impressive feat when you include the travel factor anyway. Even Boomer himself admitted that when he held the record.

Yeah I can imagine people may just want to watch the start for whatever reason but it's such a weirdly over-hyped stat. As Jd (half-jokingly) said, it's not even the Australian Football record, just a VFL one.

Why just a VFL one?

Craig Bradley played close to 100 games in the SANFL before his 370~ in the VFL/AFL.

 

[Bradesmaen]

I hope he gets injured in the warmup and can't play (not that I personally want him to get injured, just more for the lulz of the situation)

I hope essendon picks up Boomer in the mid season draft and he goes past him in the 2nd half of the season
