2021 Wooden Spoon

[Gavin Excell]

Gold Coasr have a thin list. Well in commission

 

[owen87]

We can't really compare a 4 game player to the best young midfielder in the competition.

Correct, but saying 'objectively' better isn't true when there's a number of stats that clearly show it's not objectively true.

Also 'best young midfielder' by what measure, because if it's average Brownlow votes per game (a pretty good indicator of best midfielders) then Rowell is well ahead.

MkII. A fine player that runs all day and can collect the footy but you don’t lay awake at night wondering how you stop him.

 

[Trucker Tiger]

Hawthorn.

 

[Pessimistic]

Kingy has just nominated the Hawks for the spoon. Thanks Kingy. guaranteed not to happen now.

Didn't like the inference that Clarko would tank though

(Sydney by 10 goals was it Kingy?)

Walsh will be Tom Scully MkII. A fine player that runs all day and can collect the footy but you don’t lay awake at night wondering how you stop him.

Comparing an inside midfielder to a winger shows just how much you know about football.

 

[aussierulesrules]

I think Walsh is more likely to be more Craig Bradley (but with inferior kicking) than Tom Scully

[PAFC_1870]

Hawthorn and Adelaide.

Adelaide has some serious defence weaknesses atm, along with other concerns.

Hawks have little to get excited about however Clarkson should be worth a win or two over Nicks.

 

[PAFC_1870]

Long shot but I can see Collingwood having an absolute shocker.

Not a chance their Spooners

 

[Slysh]

I don't think we will win the spoon but we are possibly going to start the year without Gunston, Sicily, Mitchell, Wingard.

Average teams can not afford to miss arguably it's 4 best players, hopefully some of them can get up or it will be a tough start to the year.

If we don’t beat Essendon round 1, we will be 0-5...we aren’t beating Richmond, Geelong or Freo in Perth without Gunston, sicily, an underdone Mitchell and wingard...Melbourne round 5 is winnable but our confidence will be shot being 0-4... it’s between us, the crows and north for the spoon. All 3 teams will win under 7 games.

 

[Guardian Hawk]

Whilst I mostly agree with you, footy never works like that.

It is one of the most unpredictable sports going and teams beat and lose to teams they shouldn't all the time. Overall prospects may be accurate but pencilling in specific games is near impossible in the AFL. Hell, Hawthorn beat Brisbane and Richmond in the first month last year and then basically couldn't beat anyone else, including a winless Adelaide.

It's just as likely that Hawthorn lose to Essendon and Melbourne but then still beat 1 or 2 of Richmond, Geelong and Freo. All part of the fun and frustration of it I guess.

All 3 teams will win under 7 games.

I mean sure or we beat Essendon and Melbourne in our first 5 and get a plucky upset against on of the other 3 and leave the first 5 games 3-2... Who knows... Games aren't played on paper

 

[Stubbie Holder]

Walsh has one wooden spoon.
Rowell doesn't have any yet.

Incorrect

 

[Off Tap]

.. it’s between us, the crows and north for the spoon. All 3 teams will win under 7 games.

You can definitely throw the Bombers in that mix as well. I can't see them improving on last year's tally of six wins.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Walsh has one wooden spoon.
Rowell doesn't have any yet.

When did Walsh win a spoon?

 

[The 747]

Average teams can not afford to miss arguably it's 4 best players, hopefully some of them can get up or it will be a tough start to the year.

On paper you should be contending for the spoon IMO but a genius coach and some clever players will pull out some wins from here and there.

 

[hawkman]

How strong is the North squad for the practice match today?

 

[perplexed]

When did Walsh win a spoon?

Oops. Won one. Is one. Close enough.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Oops. Won one. Is one. Close enough.

I wouldn’t trade half of Walsh for two of your best kids(who are they btw)?

 

[Pessimistic]

How strong is the North squad for the practice match today?

No Goldstein. Wont win any without him

 

[hawkman]

No Goldstein. Wont win any without him

Saw Cunnington as well. A 90 point loss with just those 2 out is worrying for North. If they had 7-8 out then there is less to worry about

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

How strong is the North squad for the practice match today?

They were missing i think 5 best 22 players.

 

[Duckimus Prime]

They were missing i think 5 best 22 players.

Almost as important is how many were St Kilda missing?

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Almost as important is how many were St Kilda missing?

Roos were more important imo

Saints were missing Marshall, Gresham, Jones, Hannerbury (along with Geary and Kent)

While the Roos were missing Goldstien, LDU, Cunnington, Anderson (along with Polec)
