Opinion 2018 Non-Crows Discussion Thread

Melbourne spanked North by about ten goals - couple of demons posters lamented that Lever let Waite get out the back for a few easy goals

Didn't watch it myself though

JLT r1 I’m assuming. Thought we’d be all over it.
Maybe we’ve moved on already.

Brissy board is pretty happy with his game last night.

Give it time, he's only been there five minutes.

When the frustration from losses in the season proper starts to mount they'll be looking for someone to blame and a well payed, inconsistent performing, new recruit will be a prime target for criticism.

Id hold fire on Charlie. Brisbane were missing the likes of Beams, Zorko and Hodge. Wont be as good as he was in our outfit. Doesnt have the guidance from Tex or Eddie in fwd line. Took him a while to gel with our forwards, he will have a few good moments and games this year but otherwise inconsistent IMO

Anyone know if Telstra are offering/will offer $20 tickets for low-turnout MCG/Etihad games again this year?

 

[Deaneus!]

Americium, in some ways the total opposite of Ollie Wines

Americium will kill you, is rare, but it's in your house right now, and decays by ejecting an alpha particle.

Ollie Wines won't kill you (on the field), is common (he's a dime-a-dozen mid), (probably) isn't in your house right now, and his usefulness decays due to Port's woeful development people, because he is a beta.

Why hasn't Ollie signed?

241 days to go til he's out of contract... why hasn't Ollie signed?

I'd be pretty confident they would.

Not sure what thread I should put this in so I might chuck it in a couple..

When you get to the over 40’s you stop listening to triple j and start listening to ABC radio.. well that’s what I’ve found... anyway every weekday on abc radio they have a program at 11am called “conversations with Richard Fidler” where Richard basically interviews people about their lives and it’s really interesting hearing some of the amazing stories of famous and non famous people..

Anyway.. Today’s episode had Richard Fidler chatting to Peter Bell of both North Melbourne and Freo fame.. and it was a really great insight into the life of Peter Bell and had a good section of it that discussed Pagan drafting him to North Melbourne..

Anyway, if your a footy tragic like me and you enjoy a really good yarn you can listen to it here as a podcast...

http://www.abc.net.au/radio/programs/conversations/conversations-peter-bell/9463078

goes for nearly an hour and I guarantee you’ll enjoy hearing the story of Peter Bell even though he wasn’t a crow!..

it’s a pretty bloody amazing story about a young Korean baby that was adopted by an Aussie couple and become an AFL great... a two time premiership player and a hall of famer.. he nearly didn’t make it and the way his birth mother found him years after giving him up for adoption is amazing.

Trust me... Give it a listen.

Could you direct me to the podcast? I can't find it. Plenty of Conversation podcasts on podcast addict and even ones with Richard Fidler but they all haven't had any new ones posted for over a year...

The previous post that you quoted has a link to the episode, takes you straight to it.

Excellent thanks, I was trying to search for it but could not find the right one for the life of me.

Docklands/MCG tickets are $15-$20 for general admission all the time anyway

 

[Vooligan]

Geelol!

 

[Roovolution]

Bet the Suns in this spot. Watch Dew give them a new coach bump.

 

[GreyCrow]

Its JLT

Pity China isn’t first game

 

[radiojake]

Just checked the squads

If Selwood, Ablett and Dangerfield dont play, is it technically a Geelong side?

 

[I Lost My Keays]

How shit is the t-shirt for Geelong?

 

[Roovolution]

That will be an interesting game. Port like to win it to make themselves look good but I expect a Dew led Suns team to perform a lot better than an Eade led team. Port smashed them last year so betting wise the line will be of considerable interest.

 

[Roovolution]

It’s weird looking and why wear a t-shirt for a hot and humid game???

 

[CrowinNT]

We'll commentary suggests those players are there. When Danger is at FF? We all either had people as imaginary friends or play believed.
The comment that Kern has a lot of artillery this year made me cringe

Edit: This was in response to Radio jakes comment

 

[MRB37]

Its JLT

And Geelong are missing Danger, Ablett, both Selwoods, Harry Taylor, Lachie Henderson, Nakia Cockatoo, Lincoln McCarthy and haven’t played Zac Smith yet.

It's Cotton On and you only have to look at what atrouciousness they have served up in the AFLW to know they shouldn't be allowed near anything that needs good design, but they are one of the few companies that hasn't left Geelong.

How is Lemmens on an AFL list?

Agree. I hope the AFLW stuff moves away from them. I was looking at some of the AFLW/Cotton On merch at Marion today, and the quality is shocking. Looks like cheap and nasty Bali knockoffs

 

[NikkiNoo]

Got to love lies from commentators. Geelong only have 20 points up to the third quarter isn't a concern to Geelong fans.

It would be if they could recognise that their depth is shite.
