2017 Non Crows AFL Discussion Thread

[spexau]

I'd like to know what our last 1/4 scores are....

We've conceded more.

 

[tinman]

The Eagles have historically struggled more than we have in Victoria

The Eagles have a 38% winning record at the MCG and 40% at Etihad

Terrible record. Almost as bad as Carlton and Richmond's records at those grounds ;-)

 

[ams4crows]

We've conceded more.

True, obviously they are attacking more but I wonder what they're doing differently defensively?

Play more numbers behind the ball. We've conceded similar numbers actually but we're more stingy in the first half.

I'd like to know what our last 1/4 scores are.... we kicked 7,5,4,7,5 goals in the last 1/4 this season

29.9- 183 to 16.8-104

29.9 to 16.8. It's not as impressive.

Aggregate score of the beast

 

[PrideOf]

I thought the number of the beast was #9. Or is that just in 2017?

 

[Roovolution]

Rory Sloane rated best player in the AFL over the last 4 weeks. We was an absolute bargain at over $20 for the Charlie only a few weeks ago. Sigh.

I'm looking forward to him being interviewed after his Brownlow win.

"So Rory, you're Adelaide's second Brownlow medallist, you're an All-Australian and you'll be lining up in this year's Grand Final against GWS.

How much do you think you've missed Paddy Dangerfield this year?"

Interesting as they have only conceded 20 points less than the Crows all up (4 points less per game).

"A follow-up question, if I may.

Are all South Australian football fans racist, or just most of them?"

Mooney asked a question to Tex after the game yesterday and referenced Dangerfield. Tex got a bit annoyed and says something like "your still talking about him!"

'Rory , you join Mark Rucciuto and Patrick Dangerfield as Brownlow Medallists to come from Adelaide. How did it feel having Paddy drape the medal he won last year around your neck'

 

[adelaidecrows]

I still dont think the hawks will play finals. They can only afford a maximum of 6 more losses for the season just to have a shot. So realistically 11 out of the next 17 games. Its mathematically possible but lets see how they go when they start travelling.

 

[jenny61_99]

Yeah because teenagers often listen to adults and are happy to be corrected, particularly by strangers.

I always pull up kids (anyone). May not change them straight away, but it might plant the seed. That's all it takes.

Exactly. Kids should be pointed in the right direction..

[relapse]

Similar to how West coast's comfort zone is playing away in Adelaide against the Crows! Why is it those bastards are usually deplorable at the MCG but always play out of the skin against us in Adelaide?

Unfortunately as shit as West Coast are in Melbourne, they seem to love Adelaide Oval and have the best winning percentage in the AFL at the venue.

I like that. Thing is though, young kids running around a shop might be influenced by your words and not that many parents really get offended if you pull their kid up respectfully. Teenagers at a train station however are just as likely to stab you.

I dont think he will win it. As someone mentioned before, there is a Dangerfield Bukkake every week and given the Cats have been winning, thats enough probably for him to have 3 votes each round. Wouldnt surprise me if Betts grabbed the 3 votes of Sloane last week, given what had happened at AO during the showdown, mind you Betts played an awesome game and would be deserving of the 3 votes as well.

I was just thinking that. This f**ked up team cant perform in Melbourne yet plays like the Premiers at AO. If only they produced a Melbourne effort in the last round last year.

We did kick 8 goals in a first quarter against them the year before.

Losing that last H&A game cost us a top 4. The year before that they were shit.

Selwood 3 today

 

[hey shorty]

Also, last quarter comparisons vs Geelong are very misleading IMO. We have had 3 of our 5 games all but wrapped up at HT with players injured on the bench in all but 1 game.

We do play that high octane style that still needs minor tweaks defensively, but if the Cats give us the starts they've given other teams (bar Hawthorn) they won't be catching us.
