2020 Non-Crows AFL Discussion

[BACCS]

The Adelaide Football Club should be an absolute juggernaut. We're a joke.

I don’t disagree with that, but that doesn’t address my original point about the Swans.

Murdoch is a cancer



1 - copy everything about the WCE
2 - profit

WCE benefited from a good deal with the WAFL. Flat rate to rent Subiaco. Collect the rent and let WCE thrive

SANFL on the other hand used us to provide revenue for their comp. Gouged us so they could try and thrive.

Great club, great leaders, great culture.

Great consessions courtesy of the afl.

Calling lt now - season 2021 will be just as ramshackle, fixture- wise, coronavirus will last next year too

So Port should go back to back premiers then.

The 2020* Flag is theirs to lose.

I reckon there's a use by date on lockdowns. Can't see them still a thing by June next year, won't be surprised if it's earlier and footy season is unimpeded.

Not sure I agree with that, here in the UK we were in a 'lockdown' (nowhere near as strict as Victoria) from about April - End of June this year. The government won't do it again, unless things get really bad and even then it might only be localised lockdowns. Might not be crowds in AFL next year, but Victoria will be out of lockdown by the end of October this year and I really doubt it will happen to the same extend again.

Measures will be in place for a long time over the virus, but I don't think governments or the population have the impetus to stay in an indefinite lockdown - the virus just isn't deadly enough.

It would be a failure from them to not win one flag in the next 2 years

Makes it easy to rebuild when you have access to top 5 picks for free year after year regardless of your ladder position

That's a simple and incorrect statement BACCS. I've had a look at who they got -
Heeney was for pick 17 under the AFL rules at the time, bonus to Swans.
Mills for pick 3 but it cost them so much in picks they couldn't match F/S Dunkle y, that's hardly "free"
Blakey, who has to yet show more than highlights, pick 10, about where their first rounder was anyway
This year they will have a high pick 2-5ish and that may or may not have to be used on Campbell depending on where other clubs rate him and bid on him

So Heeney is the only "free" hit Swans have had.

They also got the crap part of NSW when GWS appeared who got all of the more AFL friendly southern part of the state which produces good players every year.

So your statement is completely incorrect, love them or hate them, Sydney are a very well run and professional club operating in a non AFL state. Unfortunately our club off field is light years behind them. Last night shows how to do a rebuild, it's not done on "top 5 picks for free year after year", it's done with high quality decision making and good drafting. We need to take a good look at them to see how it's done!

Should have pinch a premiership in 05 or 06 and won 2017 when we had a real chance of winning the premiership. Not to be.

2020* and 2021* are best time to bottom out.....and we are going big and not doing things in half.

Oh joy, 2 teams I hope play a scoreless tie again

 

[GROTTO]

Just saw the Pies INs this week, Ben Reid, Darcy Moore, Jamie Elliott, Scott Pendlebury, Will Hoskin-Elliott.

We lost to them by 4 goals without them.

Hopefully Hawkins belts someone so Jenkins comes in to play us.

 

[Scorpus]

Two thoroughly unlikeable teams going at it

 

[AmericanCrow]

How is that legal? All that goop on Hawkins

 

[Scorpus]

The change to the hands in the back rule has revitalised Hawkins career

 

[GROTTO]

I remember the first time Danger played for Geelong at AO, I thought we would all go for Port.

The thread showed our true colours, we hate the filth from Alberton.

 

[AmericanCrow]

In fact seems to be a team thing—I see surfer boy coated himself

 

[GROTTO]

Port looking off in the 1st.

Surprising as they are one of the best 1st Qtr teams in 2020.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Maybe we've been doing it the wrong way around?

Coating our bodies with grippo and our hands with oil

 

[GROTTO]

Cats, Tigers, Eagles and Lions.

Port may be top, but Finals in September is another issue altogether.

You may very well be onto something

 

[Thegibbsgamble]

First game in the covid Cup I've been to.


Port Not interested. Not running to keep thier zones.

Will get smashed.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Who/what did Port get for Dougal Howard?
