2020 Non-Crows AFL Discussion

[Vhaluus]

Adelaide is the place doing really well ATM with only a couple of new cases each day, why not have quarantine precinct at Adelaide Oval?

sounds like a great way to import a bunch of Covid and start some brand new clusters.

If none of the players or staff have tested positive, have been self isolating (except for the essentials and exercise) then how is a cluster going to begin?

Kane is so far up his own ass he can see the sunshine through his mouth

Kane needs to inject himself into all his stories:

Me vs the anonymous player sending text messages
Me vs Taylor Walker
Me and the Fyfe sledge
Me and the Will Minson sledge
Me and Cosi

Injecting himself into the story in a desperate attempt to try to seem relevant and central to football goings on. His opinions and observations on football by themselves aren't enough and he knows it.

Why wasn't he ever nabbed for a coaching role? Because he's a vanilla fluff lightweight who offers nothing of value.

Hutchy has correctly schooled him that he needs to become a gossip columnist.

They can all stay at the SMA hotel. Someone has to use it!

I didn't realise that it got the go ahead, but they are full steam ahead.

Yeah, but the footy will be back. Isn't that all that matters?

Spot on

One of his articles last year was "Why Collingwood should sign up Grundy to a long term deal"

Once Grundy signed this year his article afterwards was "Why Collingwood made a mistake paying Grundy for 7 years"

Guy is a tool and should be ignored.

But also going after Tex's "mental fragility" after all he has been through with the loss of Walsh, the loss of his child and the loss of his best mates child speaks volumes for who he is as a human being.

He generates click bait.

He is good at his job.

Well I guess at least Mitch made the board.

Watching Footy Classified they touched Ricky Nixon and some of the deals he made. Certainly sounded like Salary cap rorting to me. Just makes me angry when I read ongoing stories yet we were bounced on the Tippet saga. How dumb were we then not to challenge.

Because people can be positive without any symptoms and therefore haven't been tested?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Who's Rory talking to I wonder?

Given this will be 2 months at a minimum from now anyway and the players are far stricter with self isolation, what makes you think any of them will get it? Community transmission is still less than 10% in this country and even lower in our state, if a player gets it they would have to be damn unlucky (especially given they will be stricter with all the measures in place than most given footy is their livelihood).

possibly an ex business partner that’s a bit of a knob

 

[relapse]

i suspect it's directed at the same person that Dane Beams has been "anonymously" messaging.

[footy4ever]

Didn't he use us and the threat of the go-home factor to get more money out of Richmond?

He ended up going to Melbourne a few years later where he played out a pretty unremarkable career.

EDIT: just read the article. Yep, just another money grabbing AFL footballer. Meh.

But it highlights what the AFC is always up against trying to acquire/keep good players. Crows can never offer competitive incentives but but but crows have a s**t culture and players don’t want to play for us.

That muppett, what was his name again?

Yikes, Rory very rarely has a go at anyone. The hatred of Kornes must be strong

Should tweet that to him

 

[Glenno23]

I'd rather just ignore him. He's like the advertising logos from the Simpsons Halloween special 1 year. Only way to make them go away is to "just not look"

Although i guess i'm only adding to the discussion here.... hmmm

See Dangerfield has come out against players being isolated to play the season at hubs. Must have been read the riot act when his missus found out

Genuine professional athletes that travel the world year round, often for less money while living out of hotels must laugh at how soft these guys are.
