Discussion 2021 General AFL Discussion

[SaintsSeptember]

Could probably do a decent Hitler in the bunker scene about Blues coach selection, but i don't have that time on my hands right now.

 

[Bill Mohr]

It sounds as if the internal politics that always make everything there dysfunctional has reared it's head. There are a lot of egos and political rumblings seething below the surface there. There are people organising extraordinary general meetings, potential tickets being put together and factions all protecting their hard won power. It's held them back for 20 years. A lot of rich and powerful operators who know better and make sure that they are central to decision making assert themselves at any opportunity. It's seriously broken. They should run a broom through the place, they are never going anywhere until they get rid of the power brokers.

I'm quite happy if they dont go anywhere.

 

[TheEnsign]

Just want to say I think we need to continue our storied and historical R1 fixture against GWS by playing them in R1 2022.

(managed) He might have 6 months to get himself right.

I wonder if Lyon passed on trying for the Magpies job because he was lead to believe the Carlton job was in the bag.

 

[Dr Spaceman]

Two different groups are putting together tickets for a board spill and there are fans calling for an extraordinary general meeting with the hope of changing their constitution to give them the arse as well. sh*t is getting messy there. When everyone goes in to saving their own arses mode nothing good happens. Right in the middle of trying to pick a coach and tempt in Cerra. It's a soap opera there.

Yes, these rival Carlton factions can be quite intimidating

I dunno. Maggies are genuinely rebuilding, not what Ross would be looking for. For all the deserved shit we sling at Carlton, with the board backing him in, a "buy in & pull your weight or **** off" could lay a platform for "success" by Ross Season 3 IMO.

 

[George]

Haha, GT retweeted a table I'd made a couple of years ago about free kick differential and Brendon Goddard retweeted it recently

 

[pebblesofsand]

Hogan out injured.

Toby's idiotic brain fade looking worse and worse for GWS.

Geelong by a lot.

That's a bit arrogant by Geelong. I hope they lose but without Toby and hogan out I think Geelong will win.

 

[Diehard Saint]

C’mon Giants

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Can someone please take out Cameron Hawkins Danger and Duckwood

 

[Diehard Saint]

Hawkins loves that push in the back.

 

[Mowman]

Can someone please take out Cameron Hawkins Danger and Duckwood

And Brian Taylor

 

[HunterClarksHeadband]

GWS’ finals campaign is quite similar to ours last year. Hold on in the last minute to win by a coupla points then play the week after without your full “best 22” against a team expected to make it pretty deep.

Cats by a lot unfortunately

 

[pebblesofsand]

Sparkling contest - and people say the Saints can't finish top 4 next year.

 

[Mowman]

Josh Kelly is a very good player, but not close to million a year player

Touhy also, please. Most punchable face in the AFL.

 

[Diehard Saint]

Giants just not on at all.

 

[HunterClarksHeadband]

This is so boring wow. Giants look so shit without a forward line

 

[Diehard Saint]

Umps love Cats. Razor metres away can see a push in the back in the middle of half a dozen players

is a nice player, shame those rumours about us being into him never turned into anything

 

[Diehard Saint]

Giants look very ordinary sadly. No one to straighten then up forward. They’re missing Hogan. Barely seen Himmelberg.

Ferarri’s stalling again.

 

[pebblesofsand]

This is so boring wow. Giants look so sh*t without a forward line

Says a lot about the Cats as well.
