2017 Non Crows AFL Discussion Thread

Sydney up 14-3 at QT, playing much better than GWS. Absolutely pissing down towards end of quarter. Will be a slog from here.

Weather here in Syd is not good

It's the type of conditions that by the end of the game you can end up with some injuries and very sore bodies

Fingers crossed

There was a priceless moment in the second quarter of the Syd-GWS match. Mummy and Tiprat were "contesting" a centre bounce, with Mummy jumping and flattening Tiprat by pushing him the chest with two hands, while somehow managing to palm the ball down as well. Unfortunately, Tiprat got the free followed by a 50m and goal.

Uuuuuuughgh!! Seriously is this guy still going around???...

Damien Hardwick on coaching 2017:

"We've brought players here who are incredibly talented kids and they're all filled with key strengths, so I just want them to play and play good footy.

"The fact of the matter is they've got to become more childlike to do it. Hopefully it works."

We will never know how a genius' mind really works.

Reckons he "over coached" them last year, and this year they will have more of a free reign. And using childlike performance measures the Tigers are going very well. It's about participation, not about winning ;-)

I think he's onto something. The less Hardwick has to do with coaching the team the better they will perform. If he goes away completely, their stocks rise accordingly. Personally I think there is a lot of logic in his thinking.....

Delidio ruled out for round 1 against us.

Just read that this morning. Huge risk by GWS, one that was worth taking mind you.

Ha ha yeah I'm sure their worried with all their first round draft picks

Thats what I mean. At his best he's the polish they might need on the big day. Reality is they were pretty handy without him in the first place.

Don't even know why they went for him, overrated.

I can't wait until Gill f**ks off

Yeah he is a tad, though his job is going to be a lot easier in that GWS side.

I love how obsessed Port fans are with our AAMI lease, often saying it's worth $2M/year that we are taking from the SANFL. And for some reason think it should be on our books. Yet I doubt any of them know what port pays to the council for their land.

Before the season has started the highlight of the year will already occur if Gold Coast stand their ground on the Shsnghai Guernsey drama. Hilarious.

I'm not convinced that from a list mgt they needed him

It will be interesting to see how many games both he and Wells end up playing for their new clubs

Deldio imo is worth the risk as GWS chasing a flag & another big game player could be the difference winning a final.

Wells appears to be more an act of desperation for Bucks to keep his job. 3 year x $500k contract for someone who is injury prone when you are not likely to challenge for a flag...

Let's face it the Vic's got pissed that Wayne Jackson was levelling the field and it's been shit ever since.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Wells lol everyone knew that was dumb

Pity we cannot like a post more than once. While I agree with the first part, I believe you have nailed the bolded part.

For the Port Magpies it was a peppercorn rent which included upkeep of the ground.

Not sure if the same applies for the Power. But dont see why it wouldn't.

Yeah and when did he last live here?

Carlton's "GWS lite" is far from impressive
