2017 Non Crows AFL Discussion Thread

[TubbsFarquhar]

I ain't afraid of no Cats.

That said, if we beat them - and we should - my personal lid will start to loosen.

Have to put them to the sword early and build a decent lead that will silence the crowd. If we can do that, hopefully it would be good enough for them not to come back, keeping in mind that our fitness is also of a very high level.

Hawks are back to 2014 Hawks, great stuff, they are back make no mistake

How did Geelong get such a piss easy draw?

****ing joke.

They play Crows , Hawks , Giants, Pies and Dockers as double ups. That is 3 teams expected to be top 4 or there about.

 

[ams4crows]

Two years in a row. And it's not as if they've been that convincing in some of them.

To be fair 3/4's of the teams this year haven't decided to rock up yet.... Only Adelaide, GWS and Richmond have looked dangerous and flag worthy hell Port have looked better than Geelong only difference is they've played us and GWS

If the Eagles are going to win this, Darling needs to step up...so mark it down as a L

Yeahhhhhh, nah.
Richmonds win over Eagles at the G now looks less convincing.
They've beaten nobody this year and everyone in melb are asking if they're the real deal!
Classic

Wat.

no-one with any football knowledge expected Dockers or pies to push top 4.

 

[adelaidecrows]

Are people encroaching on your right to be an arseh*le?

So you resort to personal abuse. Nice!

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

He said 3 from that list... us, Giants and the Hawks. Although I did expect the Hawks would drop off this year but not to the extent they are atm.

 

[adelaidecrows]

Selwood a casual 43 disposals at 74.4% efficiency.

he's going to have more Brownlow votes than Danger so far this year.

Good pick up for my dt. Big game.

 

[hey shorty]

This is about whats between their ears not whats under their feet.

They have just been making bad decisions and putting in very little effort.

That's kind of my point. In our early days, the Crows put in some putrid performances away from home against mediocre teams.

All in the head

Yeah, i remember watching a lot of those. Horrible memories

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Haha Darling, one of the softest players I've seen. Anytime when it's a crucial moment in a game, you can always count on him to choke.

You were either comparing it to domestic violence or rape and now you're trying to pretend you weren't. A stupid statement however you want to try and spin it.

I'm not pretending anything. I wasn't comparing it to rape or sexual anything. It is a statement used often (of you are a parent you hear many variations of it as children choose not to take responsibility for their actions). I could have just as easily used the bullies retort of "he made me do it". Either way, the statement is relevant within the context of the discussion.

 

[GROTTO]

Looks like the Hawks may rebuild their list inside a week.

 

[jenny61_99]

I saw some teenagers saying it just yesterday, which is a shame

Did you pull them up on it?

 

[Scorpus]

So are Hawthorn decent or terrible? I'm confused

Eagles are terrible.

 

[kirky]

No it's just West Toast at the "G" - 6 wins from their last 24 games going back to 2007 I think - they are shockers.

 

[GROTTO]

Hawks supporters suffered for 4 weeks. Must have been challenging for them during those dark times.

 

[Moonwatcher]

They match up well on WCE who also play terribly at the MCG.

 

[BRL121]

He's made an art of going limp and droppjng his head.

Look, this has been analyzed to death last year. The solution, found by Thommo last year, is to move in vigorously, but not actually tackle! Selwood then collapses in a heap on the ground and looks like an idiot. The ump should give a free against him for a "voluntary tackle".

 

[Rotayjay]

Did you pull them up on it?

I didn't and I should've

 

[jenny61_99]

Asking someone to apologize for the use of a term that was broadcast due to media greed is stupid. Players careers are on the line and the last thing they should care about is worrying about broadcast mics.

I keep coming back to this. It's called "common decency".

Yeah. I picked Hawks for that reason alone. West Coast just seem a completely different team at the G. And the Hawks are the opposite there.
