No Oppo Supporters 2023 General AFL Discussion - incl. AFL Grand Final

[hairy biker]

Damien Barrett this morning (Sliding Doors AFL.com);

I’d be trading him at the end of the year. Settle for a pick in the late teens, even early 20s.

Who you might ask?

Clues;
Due to face court for threatening to distribute an intimate image
Due to face court for driving on a suspended licence
Suspended by his club and required to undergo respectful behaviour training
Fails to adequately undertake the program so suspended again
Likes to drive with his feet up on the dashboard

You know Damo I really don't think Tarryn Thomas

would garner your proposed trade value.

PS Damo I also doubt that your previous suggestion that the Showdown should be played at the MCG rather than Adelaide Oval will really take off.

There is negative value in TT. He is an ongoing liability. He will be a burden wherever he is. Not worth it for free. Has shown he will not reform. Continually.

Never listen or read to anything that goose says , another 1 who thinks he's part of the game

 

[bedford]

Have started watching 360 again as it's bearable now without Robbo

Career looks like it's in free-fall now. He's got the talent but I'm just not sure he has the support to turn it around. You are right, his true value is nil... but nevertheless I fear someone will back themselves in, which counter-intuitively is probably not the right outcome for TT

I'd love to know where his manager is in all of this...?

Presume gather round is exciting if you are there?

Sorta adds nothing from a distance

There is definitely a buzz around town. As you know, I come over for TDU most years and the place is buzzing then but even more so this weekend.

How much are the media loving it though?!

It could possibly be the greatest weekend of Andy Maher's life.

I get it, i mean Adelaide is a nice escape from the hustle and bustle of regional Tasmania

Well that explains a lot!

 

[hairy biker]

With a bit of luck one of the footy shows will have a comparison between how Melbourne go with both Lever & May playing and the results when at least one of them is missing.

They seem to struggle down back when one or the other is missing, even though you'd imagine they'd have plenty of cover (eg McDonald, Petty, Tomlinson).

Gather round is a huge success its wild the difference in performances from teams playing on a neutral ground

'Unbelievable success': SA secures Gather Round until 2026

The AFL is keen to grow Gather Round in South Australia before taking it to other states beyond 2026

what a load of BS!
NSW, QLD, WA,, even Tassie and the NT will be pretty pissed off and rightly so

Wow 3 seasons why are they so quick to lock things in.

Kickbacks are hard to organize on a yearly basis.

Would if been amazing for NSW what a opportunity lost.

 

[JZ_Skitzo]

Yeah that's ****ing bullshit. 3 years. Surprised the AFL haven't locked it in for 10 years given their track record.

 

[sataris]

Would if been amazing for NSW what a opportunity lost.

Don't worry, gather round will be locked in at the MCG until 2055 after the 3 years are up.

 

[Punts]

Glad it’s not going to nsw to be honest

Be empty in the shithole Blacktown

 

[The King!]

guess if you call every game a sell out despite empty seats it is a success

It was empty at Adelaide Oval.

If you give out free tickets every game can be a sell out.

 

[Punts]

It was empty at Adelaide Oval.

And?
