2020 Non-Crows AFL Discussion

[MRB37]

Geez how’s the Dogs’ centre bounce lineup.

Tim English (first rounder at #19) alongside Bont (#4), Macrae (#6) and Smith (#7).

Compare the gulf in class between that and what we dish up...enough to make a man cry.

We might have a few of those single digit picks after the next couple of years.

 

[MRB37]

What happened there?

 

[BACCS]

The point being that it's happening for the WA teams, why isn't it happening for the SA teams?

Watching this it seems our government are a lot more cautious about allowing any people traveling in from Victoria right now. Anyone coming into the state from Vic now have to get special approval. It seems like our state is reluctant to even allows the clubs into the state, let alone play while in quarantine.

Um. Nothing? Head coach can do what he wants.
Twitter is scum.

 

[MatthewB]

What happened there?

they was having a animated discussion in the coaches box

 

[BACCS]

Because we have p... poor leaders

Not sure if you’re referring to our premier, but this is 100% down to our government right now, the clubs have no control.

We’ll still need to draft the right players with those early picks.

I’ve been a Hamish fanboi for years but geez it’s not looking good at the moment.

An amazing drafter will be ruined by a shit coaching team... (I'd have Hamish as top 4 in the league, just for the Doedee pick alone).

 

[Rabman]

Looks like ISC are on the brink according to this Daily Telegraph article, Will affect 8 NRL clubs, gather it will be the same in the AFL.

 

[Truck25]

Why are the Crows and Port not vocally berating the AFL for sending us to Covid heartland whilst our own state has zero cases and is allowed crowds!

Honestly how bloody rigged is this competition

I think it's going to take Vic government to re-introduce full lock down for the AFL to wake up and play the game in front of real crowds outside Melbourne. I can't fathom why they think playing at the G with a canned crowd is good for the game when we can fill 1/2 a stadium. Dickheads!

 

[hey shorty]

Losing that game to Sydney was possibly our only chance of winning one..... They're hot garbage.

 

[conVINCEd]

True, it needs all parts of the footy department firing to get the best out of players. And we’re letting our young players down based on what we’re giving them.

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Jesus the skills are horrendous this year

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

So Victorian teams get more home games and us and Port are forced to travel again? I'd tell the AFL to GAGF.

It's a nonsense that both SA teams need to play in Melbourne when COVID community infections are out of control... as both sides will likely have to quarantine.

We should tell the AFL we won't put our players health at risk & only play games outside Victoria until they get their shit on order.

The VAFL are a ****ing joke of an organisation l pandering to selfish interests at the expense of health concerns.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Look on the bright side, we won’t be playing North at Blundstone in Hobart

Honestly, playing North in Tassie would be a better option than Melbourne at the moment.

 

[Sack Chapman]

What happened there?

Twitter is horrendous.

How pathetically sensitive have we become.

 

[GreyCrow]

What happened there?

Kim Hagdorn is a WA writer - sticking up for Dean and gaining WA likes

 

[Southerntakeover]

Imagine having a player kick two goals in a row.... distant dream

Imagine having a team that could do it.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Twitter is horrendous.

How pathetically sensitive have we become.

Just looked like a robust discussion which is healthy.

Better than having sheep assistants who offer nothing.

 

[conVINCEd]

Geez is every player drafted after Gallucci going to become a quality AFL player?

Aside from Poholke of course.

 

[radiojake]

Throw the famed danger warchest at bailey smith

wasn't he the one who was rumoured to have gotten a doctor's certificate claiming his mental health wouldn't allow him to leave Melbourne before the draft?

 

[FR0GGY]

Imagine having our team kick two goals in a row.... distant dream

Let’s start with the small things
edit: seems southerntakeover beat me to it.

 

[BACCS]

Anyone know why next weeks game vs Freo hasn’t been relocated to AO, given it is our home game and both clubs can travel here freely? Makes no difference to Freo getting back to Perth either, in fact it’s closer!

 

[BACCS]

Losing that game to Sydney was possibly our only chance of winning one..... They're hot garbage.

They beat North last week, who were looking great before that. They’re not as bad as you think, just an inconsistent young side with a sprinkling of aging stars.

 

[BACCS]

Jesus the skills are horrendous this year

It’s hardly a surprise given the conditions all clubs are playing under with training restrictions and no games for 3 months with minimal training
