2014 Non-Crows AFL Discussion

[King Elvis]

"5th and loving it"...

They're better than us, and Sando isn't a patch on Hinkley.

 

[noddy]

For the time being.

Dunno. Premierships are the measuring sticks on success. So far it's nil all

 

[little graham]

Meh, they came 5th. He can say what he wants.

There draw was softer than a viagra patient with no money for a script. They loaded up there pre season to be going at 100 mile an hour in april relying on their draw to keep momentum. Don't get me wrong, they are well drilled, there getting the most out of their list. But their not developing.

 

[AFC3000]

Sanderson in his first 2 years won 28 games, Hinkley 27, they have both won 1 final. Pretty close to me. Sanderson has taken a team to a prelim in that time, Hinkley might this year.

Hinkley was given better support thanks to some big handouts, Sanderson walked into a mess. Hinkley has Koch and a large marketing budget pumping him up.

I'd probably say they are pretty even and if they swapped clubs results would be pretty similar to.

I think a problem Sanderson will have is that he got instant results in the first year and set expectations way to high for the reality of where we are at.

 

[hey shorty]

First 8 rounds will decide Sandos future. If he fails with our list, which is a top 8 list IMO, then he is done

 

[BACCS]

This is the worst thing. We got hardly any proper development time into our youngsters. Grigg has probably gone backwards from last year. Lyons...who knows not enough info to say. Matt Crouch, pissed away one of the best kicks in an awful kicking side to get this boy in and watch him play SANFL. Just a waste of a year.

Bloody hell, this is gonna be a long off season if this is the standard of posting.

Pull up a chair and make yourself comfortable BACCSy baby

 

[loplop]

if melb got done for tanking so should sydney !

How is Syd any different to us?

We could be accused of taking in at least 6 of our matches this year

Nine games. Reilly has played nine games.

yer nah, yer nah.

Fing is, the 2012 seasons best two teams were Sydney and Sandersons Adelaide. Fing about that year, yes draw was soft, we play uninhibited footy, like we did after our reserves team lost the first ever showdown. Same as 93, we played amazingly, no matter the list nature, when the pressure of being the mighty South Australia's finest club was not on our backs.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Was devastated when I heard Franklin had two broken legs and couldn't play

shhhh We may actually have been. Get some high picks, win enough games and the ones we aren't expected to throw the AFL off the scent. Refresh the list a little.

Very clever Sando. You even had the fans fooled.

 

[The Karma Bus]

Luke Darcy in the Cats v Lions game "He's had his splin shit open"

Say that again

 

[King Elvis]

Dat haircut.

 

[little graham]

isn't it funny, the more eradic the mind the more eradic the hair..

 

[dblstR]

Aiden Riley...

 

[ruscy002]

I hate these bizarre, inconsequential, nothing games. Richmond winning sucks balls.

 

[Glenno23]

Isn't it the other way around?

Nah, cos if we win, we'd jump the Eagles

Eagles win by 70 points and we would need a 160 point win

Edit: All 3 teams on 40 points. Our % and Eagles is similar, GC is shit If GC win and we win, we'd move ahead of the Eagles and the GC moving up a spot

Eagles win, we'd need to pump the Saints to jump ahead of eagles

We are playing for 9th-10th. That is all.
