2020 Non-Crows AFL Discussion

[marvin]

I’ve watched the Chol, Richmond bum tapping finger up the butt hijinks bit and they are just joking around.
I’d rather see the cameras removed from the change rooms than have human nature distorted. Getting harassed builds character and a weird comradery.

What utter, utter, unmitigated cr@p.

I was harassed decades ago when I was an undergraduate student. I can guarantee that what happened to me did not build any sort of camaraderie between myself and the perpetrator.

To claim that that sort of thing "builds character" is unspeakably offensive.

I don't think it's a huge deal, but I do agree that it's hardly going to build anything

Only those with football knowledge will be able to analysis the trade closely taking into account the strength of the draft in 2017 compared to 2018 but you can use those draft point to see what the actually trade end up being.......possibly being a 1st rounder and 3 rounder????

You're changing the goal posts, we gave away 2 first rounders, there is no arguing.

We didn't. We gave out one first rounder and did pick downgrades into a better draft. That first rounder that Carlton used on O'Brien got us Hamill and Worrell.

You can do all the gymastics you want, who we got doesn't change the fact we gave 2 first rounders.
If I give you $100 note and you give me back $50 are you telling me I didn't give away a $100 note?
We aren't talking about dollars here.

 

[mistylake]

I don't think Chol looked comfortable. If that was done in your workplace to you would you accept it.

It was also happening over the other side of the circle.
obviously an in joke amongst the team. To make you feel uncomfortable. Like a birthday greeting to a friend on Facebook of “welcome to the club you old bastard or bat”.

Put the points into the system and see what the trade end up being but given the difference in the draft quality it was actually only pick 10 we eventually gave up......

Its got nothing to do with points, im sure 100 x pick 52 is close to pick 1, when we all know its not.
We gave away 2 first rounders.

That's where I told you if you don't have any football knowledge to use that point system.

Your experience is not their experience though. Looks to be an in joke amongst the group and not being used to belittle people or as a show of power. Your equating it with your experience is unspeakably offensive. Pull your head in.

 

[MRB37]

Hmmmm

Gawn was beaten fairly, the whinging is embarrassing

Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin and ruckman Max Gawn must now step up.

Chol did look very angry with one of those incident......

Good if true.

 

[Scorpus]

What's the big deal with targeting players on the field?

If you are fit to play, you're fit to play. Everything is fair game. If you're too sore to wear a few whacks off the ball, don't play. Simple.

The only exception is targeting a player who is coming off the field injured

My god he hates adelaide so much it has now become farcical that he is even allowed to be an acredited journo..

he’s nothing but a bitter and twisted little ******** who’s entire life is consumed and driven by his hatred of the Crows and Tex Walker.

so good to see the other commentators on that program point out his unbelievable hypocracy.

Not sure if serious ...

If I gave you $100 and you give me $50 back, I've given you $50. Or I've given you a piece of plastic and you've given me a piece of plastic back. Are we talking value or object?

First round picks aren't an ACTUAL thing. They're not EVEN a piece of plastic. We gave a pick 16 for a pick 20-something in a better draft that actually became TWO second round draftees.

We shouldn't have traded for Gibbs, but mostly because we should have kept Cameron. Hindsight ...

Under the rules, is that not deemed an illegal shepherd though?

The big deal is that it was the crows and tex walking doing it this time and, for the toxic little wannabe flog Kane, that triggers an uncontrollable outburst...

And seriously, 100 pick 52.....we are comparing a mid and late first rounder in a weak draft to an early 2nd and mid 3rd rounder in a strong draft here.

 

[cleanhands]

I don’t read anything by Cornes unless it’s posted on here, it’s wasted time I’ll never get back.
Seriously though big Ned McHenry,why wouldn’t Melbourne players make short work of it and target McHenry,although Ned should concentrate on being a little more productive with his game

Kane has been banging on about this all week, it was quite funny to see an article he wrote last year about Gawn after a Port game:

Ned still managed 12 touches and was involved a lot more in the game than he has been. We have also craved a bit more mongrel from our players and are now complaining when it actually happens?

Ned just needs to be given a decent block of games... like all our younger talent.

Expecting him to dominate in a shyte team is ridiculous.

 

[1970crow]

An actual plan that involves targeting an opposition player that pushes the legal and sportsmanship's lines is a huge step forward. Bravo I say.

Not disagreeing with what you said, I would just prefer him to concentrate and think about his own game more

 

[mistylake]

So instead of removing the behavior you want to hide it?

Yes, not everything needs to be out in public view. It’s a brotherhood and needs some space to be that.

 

[mistylake]

I don't think Chol looked comfortable. If that was done in your workplace to you would you accept it.

I certainly was on the receiving end a few times through life and it never killed me. Just made me more capable of handling different experiences.
Developed a preparedness for anything.
