2021 Non-Crows AFL Discussion Part 1: we can have lots of fun!

[Scorpus]

Were Collingwood supporters booing Treloar or their own club in Q1?

 

[GROTTO]

I'm having a very hard time understanding why this game involves medals and a trophy presentation?

Typical manufactured Victorian rubbish.

Treloar with his first touch. Pathetic.

 

[Deaneus!]

Bailey Smith is so good, wish we had an elite young talented Midfielder like that on our list.

It’s a pity he‘s so sick he can’t leave the state, he’ll only be able to play games in Victoria

Wait until next year.

Is Victoria inundated with with really bad barbers?

First casualty of Covid lockdowns in Vico. All the barber shops went out of business.

One thing is clear, the sickness doesn't involve his mouth.

Grundy deal is going to single handedly reduce the Pies to a bottom 8 team for a few years. We dodged a massive bullet there.

Paying anywhere near $900k+ for a ruckman is literally robbing you of an additional quality best 22 player

looks like Jonny Rotten. LOL

We dodged a huge bullet by not getting Grundy. Bloated Contrast Syndrome at its worst.

Form has gone backward since signing that big contract or other ruckmen and team have figured how to play against him. If it's the latter then sure we dodged a massive bullet.

I was banned from the Grundy thread a couple of years back because I did not think Grundy was worth a high first round pick. I was banned because I was "trolling". I mean I said he was worth a second round pick which seemed controversial at the time but as time has gone on, the call appears sage...and by sage i mean ****ing spot on.

Glad Pies supporters got worked up, glad a pies mod banned me...stoked that I was correct, suck shit Pies.

My recent trip down to SA where I spent a week on the Murray. Had us venturing up and back from the Woolshed brewery. Had a few sessions there on these bad boys. Way to easy to get these down. Good thing we wereon the river in tinnies with no “Law” around. 8.1%

Spent a great day there on our motor home holiday a couple of years back. They do a great job.

 

[1970crow]

That is absurd

You've always needed to be cognisant of umpiring instructions when you're the man on the mark. It is stupid to be told that, but the onus in on the player to make sure they're receiving the instructions. Safer now to just stay still, you'll get told twice to move back further. No such luxury if you've been told to stand.

 

[1970crow]

The Collingwood recruitment team's 1st question for a prospective draftee is whether they would consider a sleeve tattoo to engrain themselves is the culture of the magpies...

Gooch got delisted as soon as possible after turning up with one.

 

[1970crow]

Same rule applies with beer as it does with wine when it comes to cooking as far as I am concerned.

If you won't drink it, don't cook with it.

 

[baldandbroke]

No it’s so they can say they made their best efforts in trying to reduce CTE. Trying to reduce legal ramifications.

I know ... But how does it reduce CTE? What part of subbing in another player does that?

 

[GreyCrow]

Its all weasel words until they start suspending players for 2+ weeks for head shots like this - ie if the head is such a concern for the AFL then stop players aiming for it

 

[mistylake]

It doesn’t at all. I guess teams like port will be less likely of sending concussed players back out there if they have a spare though.

 

[BACCS]

Freo are putrid, their foot skills are substandard and also dropping simple chest marks, not sure if they’ve improved at all

Free kick, nothing more.

Pearce can’t win a trick with injuries
Hope his knee one is not too serious

I disagree. They have an identifiable game plan and continue to play younger players. They're still a decent tall forward away from winning a final, but Longmuir is good.
