2014 Non-Crows AFL Discussion

[GROTTO]

Buddy with 6 touches, 0.1 in tonight's NAB match. Swans missing their usual midfield, and scrappy conditions obviously not helping.

Ended up switching over to Adelaide United vs Wellington Phoenix. Cracker of a game!

Been watching the cricket - Pakistan help Afghanistan fix a match in Asia.

You'll live without understanding. Move along.

If Amstaff's (a well known bay 13 troll) comment on the Adelaide board elicits comments from Adelaide posters worthy of being deleted, wouldn't it make sense to get rid of the incendiary comment to begin with?

 

[GROTTO]

That was his birth name but he changed it in year 6 to Polec

Man I need to get out more and understand things a bit better.

 

[GROTTO]

Seriously? This is your response to a legitimate question from an Adelaide board member to an obvious troll?

He actually PM and explained it to me.

So I should put my pitchfork back in the barn?

No I agreed with what you said. Well done for speaking up.

 

[Hank93]

Hopefully for your sake you were watching United instead of the Swans/Eagles. Some cracking goals in that game.

Yep, watched the whole game.

United were awesome, the Swans/Eagles game looked like an absolute stinker.

 

[radiojake]

I watched the Adel Utd game too -

Didn't even switch on the Swans match

If I wasnt betting on the game, I wouldnt have even turned it on. It was painful.

I am not sure what they got out of that kind of clash. Skills were deplorable. Buddy goalless.

See, this is why you only bet on things that you care about. Had $10 on AU to win 4-0. I was happy for about 10 minutes...

Oh I did care, I backed the Eagles at $3 to win. I cared plenty.

There's a fine balance between deleting posts like that, and leaving a public warning for it not to occur again in the future.

 

[WAG]

I agree. Not sure the balance was reached on this occasion.

 

[cmndstab]

Well, I mean, on individual occasions there's no balance. We can only do one or the other.

Over time, the balance needs to be reached.

So, back to Buddy. Wet conditions or not, preseason game or not, 0 goals and 1 behind and 32 fantasy points is not what the Sydney faithful wanted from their 10 million dollar man. I hope this becomes a decision Sydney regret.

I want it to be the gift that keeps giving.

Where their squad is ***** and pillaged!!! I hope we and others can pick off the players in that squad that should be on $300-$400k but have to take pay cuts because of Buddy and Kurt.

 

[GROTTO]

Selwood playing his first game tomorrow for Cats, I was hoping he may miss the R1 game.

More to the point, I'm hoping when Kurt's next contract comes up for renewal, he might see the lack of dollars and suddenly become "homesick"... Congratulations to West Coast on signing up Kurt!

Whilst I do agree, it'd be nice to have any advantage to winning, I would prefer us to beat any team at full strength. If we're to be a premiership threat, we cannot go by hoping that "Player X" is injured that week.

I reckon Kurts head would have been massive in 2013 with his salary, only to be deflated by Buddy's in 2014. I know and have seen people this rich, after a while it is the power that they want in the end.

Look I agree we need to beat full strength teams regardless. But while our team has taken a hit, I do hope that players miss our game thats for sure.

When we have Tex back along with BC which is realistic, then I up for us playing their best team.

If Kurt was solely interested in money he'd have stayed in Adelaide.

Know a guy via my soccer club who had $10 on 4-1 (@ $31).
He hated injury time.

He wanted a lower profile too and didn't that turn out well for him too?

I played safe and went $10 with draw a no bet, think I was happy the whole game.
Even happier I now have a free $5 bet to get exotic with.

Good call mate, on Tippett.

 

[Bicks]

Thankful that the AFC never pursued Scott Gumbleton, as opposed to some of our supporters who were keen, again struck down with injuries [4 -6 weeks minimum with hamstring issues yet again] even before the season proper has started, no doubt has the ability but a body that will just not stand up to the rigours of AFL.

He has nowhere near the media profile in Sydney now than he had here in Adelaide.
