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

[relapse]

Then went and stole that guernsey

Nah they've been using it for a while before that.

 

[Bay62]

Eddie vs Koch for most self-centred, selfish, entitled BS artist - “But we only want what’s best for the game, it’s not really us just trying to take everything for ourselves and stuff the rest, honest!”

Eddie has called out Port because he recognizes their MO from the ground up

The only response to anything Port want is no - nothing - never. It will always be about only them and it will never stop. Their approach was clear from day 1 with their totally self-centred deceit to get into the AFL and as a result they can’t be trusted on anything

That line about sowing and reaping was written for them

 

[skam85]

I grew up in the heart of Alberton as a die hard Crows fan but Port to me are just like any of the other 17 clubs - a team we have to beat to win a flag.

They have good young players, just like Sydney do. Just like we do.
They have some aging guys and some spuds, just like North do. Just like most other clubs do.
They have some dodgy off-field characters, just like Richmond do. Just like we do.

I have no vested interest in what colours they or any other clubs wear. If Port want to rock up in a floral get up for a Showdown, go for it.

I think the fixation on Port by a few of our posters comes across a bit sad on this board. A couple in particular come to mind, thankfully they stick to the Bay because it's downright embarrassing.

Leave it to Port fans to be "those guys", be the better club.

Nik Cox has great skills for a big man

 

[BronCrow]

The difference between tonight's game and Monday's is stark at the moment.

 

[Sidthehat]

He was shown up for mobility during the pre season.

Has decent straight line speed but struggled for change of direction movement.

I agree. He looked at a bit lost at AFL level and I think this was in part due to him getting to the contest fairly swiftly but when the play shifted laterally he was found wanting.

Something that’ll potentially be difficult to overcome if it’s so.

Obviously vision has been limited so looking forward to seeing him in the twos.

Hopefully we are wrong!

Found this interesting on Will Gould on Sydney thread.

You're not wrong. Some goal that

 

[WetCrow1991]

Swans copying us from round 2 with their accuracy.

 

[MarcusP2]

One of the ugliest kicks I've seen go straight through the middle.

[BACCS]

That Nik Cox goal shows us what RT could do when he gets a chance, is just as good at ground level and can kick both sides

 

[ams4crows]

You're not wrong. Some goal that

Just makes me think why can't we just play Thilthorpe, this Cox kid is even more slight and is managing the game well no reason Riley can't do the same.

 

[MarcusP2]

Stringer channeling McHenry.

As think was mentioned on Crowcast too, with Tex in such good form and teams doubling up on him great time for him to start.

is going to get leather poisoning at this rate..although just missed getting his 3rd goal in the 1st 1/4

TT will play when we start losing and Tex is out of form.

 

[Drummond]

Found this interesting on Will Gould on Sydney thread.

Yep no surprises there.

 

[ams4crows]

Doesn't even need to be as a key forward, play him at half forward or on the wing his strength is endurance

 

[Drummond]

bleddy heck, Jake Stringer is going to get leather poisoning at this rate..although just missed getting his 3rd goal in the 1st 1/4

Knowing Stringer, will probably be scoreless and have 4 touches for the remaining 3 quarters.

Looks best he has since year before Dogs won the flag.

 

[GROTTO]

Sydney look a little drunk from their bathwater. Early stages though so far.

 

[Bay62]

I’m happy if Sydney win the flag this year

Anyone but Richmond or Geelong. Or Port. Or Collingwood.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Yep no surprises there.

Gould didn't appear particularly mobile as a junior. Lost some puppy fat after his first preseason but it didn't seem to make any difference in that regard.

Sorry mate, it’s too late for some of us!

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Weak effort from McCartin.

 

[ams4crows]

Weak effort from McCartin.

Didn't even put his arms up on the mark and hooker got very close to him, just didn't give a s**t
