2018 non-freo nonsense (aka discussion)

[Scham]

Heard some really impressive post match coaches press conferences so far this round. Hardwick, Bolton and Clarkson are very honest and insightful. Totally all over their teams performance and also on the opponents performance.

Sneaky suspicion that Fagan and Dew would be good to see/hear too.

Have to admire the Hawks.

Won the flag in 2015 and started a rebuild after 2016. Constantly tweaking their squad, shedding assistant coaches every year but still find talent to replace the exits both coaching and playing. They're winning games through their rebuild and will be competitive again this year by the looks of it.

They beat Collingwood at home. Interesting to see how they would have gone against a finals side away . Was Fremantle the only bottom 8 side to play a finals side this round?

No Carlton were apparently impressive when they let Richmond have 70 inside 50s and 36 shots on goal on thursday.

Wasn't just us who passed. Significant rumours out and about that he wanted to stay in Adelaide.

The hell he shouldn't - ****er should get life for taking Merret out. 23 pts.

17 in my game.

Not sure what he was thinking

Rabbits are vermin, but a chocolate quokka is a welcome sight at easter.

Not just him, I think Smith, Warner and Lehman all may be looking at significant time off/ new jobs.

So they should. It's a national disgrace.

 

[estibador]

Yeah that was disgraceful. When I first heard I was picturing a spur of the moment fingernail or something, but a premeditated plan like that is very disappointing.

 

[Sweetback]

I can’t see how the public will put up with them not being sacked.

 

[Taylor]

Shane Warne came back

Leaders conspiring to cheat isn’t the same as a fat, vain mad rooter popping slimming pills, or whatever they were.

 

[Taylor]

He took steroids to heal his shoulder and they worked.

Why use something that's bright yellow? At least use something white or light brown that could be passed off as a stick of gum or an old band-aid.

Was it really even just 'tape'?

 

[Cameron_K]

Langer will be the new coach before the next series, Smith should and will lose his captaincy and Warner can't be given the role. They should take the chance of Mitch Marsh, his leadership at WA has been very impressive this season. Only concern there is he has only just established himself in the side.

Welcome to the captaincy, Dave.

 

[Cameron_K]

Welcome to the captaincy, Dave.

6 weeks ago I would have said yes, now you can't give it to him after everything that has happened.

There is no one. It's a joke. Maybe Hazelwood I guess???

 

[Cameron_K]

I honestly would take the chance with Mitch Marsh. Langer needs to come into the fold as well

 

[scon]

Baggy Green cheats.
The morality abysmal,stupidity unimaginable.
Might need a whole new team and management.
Who didn't know??

Nothing will change. Every country in the world has been found guilty with this stuff. Perfect man Tendulkar was even caught ball tampering but the BCCI covered it the best they could. Sure there’s still articles or YouTube clips though. It’s also quite ironic the South Africans are the ones going ape s**t about this. They’ve been caught more than anyone including a few of the current team - the skipper comes to mind straight away.

The truth is it’s a worldwide cricket disgrace. Most teams are doing it at times so other teams follow. Bancroft has been stupid enough to be caught. I’m disappointed in the Australian cricket team but I honestly don’t know why I expected anything different.

I am not trying to say this is ok but it’s liking diving in soccer, ducking for frees in AFL etc. Until the governing boards grow some balls not thing will ever be done and players will receive nothing but short term shame if exposed.

Well not really given he never bowled a proper flipper ever again but yes, probably.

That aside, this is ****ed.

This is an absolute disgrace. Wilful and deliberate cheating. ******* sack the lot of the campaigners. I'm so sad that not only does it appear that they are a bunch of campaigners, which I can handle as long as they win fairly, but also a bunch of cheats.

 

[Steinfreo]

Welcome to the captaincy, Dave.

That overrated bogan would have been involved with the tampering for sure.

 

[TheMcManusNose]

That overrated bogan would have been involved with the tampering for sure.

Maybe. Despite being a campaigner I think he's shown he has weird moral hangups with respect to specific things. If he can just be on valium permanently when on the field it might work.

Of course if he was involved then see ya later.
