2014 Non Eagles Discussions Thread

Ebert was not all that impressive, still has the same disposal issue as when we got rid of him. Will be good to finally be able to watch games as a neutral supporter now that failmantle is out.

 

[SpaceClef]

Haha yes, AFL.com, it was a pretty sensational 9 touch, 0 goal game from Mayne.

Mayne has reached his ceiling already and it's not overly lofty. He tries hard but needs to be their 3rd or 4th forward

I think they should play Apeness as their second tall forward next season ahead of Taberner. If Mayne can't produce anything behind Pavlich/Apeness then delist him and try to find an upgrade for the third tall position.

 

[WCErevival]

But apparently Mayne is elite.........

 

[Broken_Chairs]

Apparently I don't hate Fremantle enough to be a West Coast supporter.
I'll hand in my card on the way out.

yeahhhh, i don't really give a shit either. their winning or losing affects me in no way.

though i also don't live in perth...

Darling for Fyfe...

I find it interesting that Freo keep talking up Taberner. He looks pretty hopeless every time I see him play. Lyon pumped up his tyres in the post match despite subbing him early in the 3rd quarter.

Half the Dockers boys were at work tonight (OBH in Cottesloe).

Had a good long chat to Brady Grey and Tom Vandeleur over the bar. Nice blokes, Vandeleur mentioned he thought we were gonna pick him up but we took Barrass instead.

 

[Stewies Power]

Your annoying president, ripping us off in the ebert trade, qualifying final 07, cheesy pre game inxs song, all is forgiven! !!!! ( maybe not the ebert one, hopefully we can get you back on that one one day)

Sure. You can take Kane Mitchell from us back to Perth

Boomer Harvey the perennial sniper gets more weeks from the tribunal. He'd be closing in on some of the all time leaders for most visits to the tribunal surely?

 

[dajesmac]

Has a player ever won two flags in two years with different clubs?

It probably has. But Buddy will probably be added to the list this year.

Spangher was on the list of 2 diff clubs...does that count?

Consecutive years brah.

Consecutive years brah.

Yeah Sydney '12 & Hawthorn '13 wasn't it?

What are people's thoughts on Tom Hawkins just grabbing and shoving defenders out of the contest and when he gets the ball just trying to palm opponents from tackling him ,should he be penalised or play on.

He's been annoying me to see him get away with it every time .

As long as it's not in the back I have no problem with it. Marking contests should be a battle of strength.

Every key forward aims to do exactly that. A contest should be a battle of strength as mentioned above.

Ballentine

He had a few in there. The most worrying thing? He was a senior journalist at The West and is now a consultant :S
