Opinion Commentary & Media III

[Cool Kangas]

Because some peanut in the media peanut gallery decided to float it for clickbait and it grew legs as usual...

It’s just a very random weird one. Like for one thing, why Geelong??

‘apparently’ he wouldn’t leave melbourne and Geelong are the only melbourne based side in premiership contention for the next 3 years ‘apparently’..

I suppose Richmond and Bulldogs should just pack up shop..

Ok so we’re clearly nowhere near it either! (Brisbane must just be a complete anomaly then ).

I hope Higgo sticks with the Rooboys.

 

[SonofSamsquanch]

Maybe Scotts told the other Scotts that Higgo was gettable?

 

[Sideburns Ahern]

Yeh nar

Standing in no mans land waiting to get run over by Plugger took bigger balls

So Dean Laidley deserved a Norm Smith Medal?

Not quite sure if your serious

You ever watched that game?

Google Glenn Archer Norm Smith; might bring you up to speed

He’s a Geelong boy and his old man played for Geelong...

Think he was referring to when Laidley did exactly the same thing in front of Plugger. Sandy Roberts’ call went something like “here comes plugger, but Laidley marks” took Gerard Healey of all people to remark how brave he was.

All well and good but this specifically related to the 1996 NS

Yeah cool. Never miss a chance to remind everyone of Laidley’s extraordinary bravery that day

 

[Gasometer]

The three of them (Mick) nullified our biggest threat that day. Corey was awesome but what Archer did that day with the threat of Plugger cutting loose and kicking a bag of goals won him the NS.

 

[King Corey]

Ok let's just settle this: even Archer acknowledges his Norm Smith might've been Corey McKernan's.

Fwiw I remember Mike Sheahan on Talking Footy leading into the GF giving Archer as his smokie for the Norm Smith. Guess who's then in the Norm Smith selection group probably wanting to demonstrate their own footy nouse?

Not saying Archer was undeserving but Corey was instrumental on the day and was probably robbed of 3x awards during his career as a result.

You could mount a case for McKernan for 1999 too thanks to his 2nd quarter minutes of madness that blew the game open.

 

[gokangas]

Yeah all the bitterness came from Wilson and Schwab. KB was disappointed but gracious, he’d won every media award by a street

TBH Greigs first win was a shock. He never won the Syd in either year he won the brownlow. But the Tiggers reaction was disgusting and unsportsmanlike to say the least. (except KBs response).

 

[giantroo]

Just on SEN: Scott will be working at AFL House next year. We will just pay the difference.

[Mav]

Yay. More bullshit being spewed from AFL HQ.

McKernan deserved the NS for this spike into the forward line (0:58) alone

 

[Harris 10]

Hopefully, he’s in charge of keeping the roof shut at Marvel on game day.

 

[SlyCunnington]

Doing what exactly?

 

[leighlee13]

Maybe because he grew up there. Geelong is the team I despise the most and I will be filthy if he goes there!

 

[leighlee13]

Doing what exactly?

He didn't give the specifics but banged on about how North will be stuck with the shortfall in wage.

 

[Val Keating]

Wheatley is a smug campaigner.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

We’ll have to pay bugger all. If he is working for the afl he’ll be on a pretty penny

 

[Val Keating]

I’d love to compile a stack of audio of all the times Brad said he’d leave North if he was no longer the man for the job...always do the right thing by North etc... Really want to show what a hypocrite he is if he makes North pay him out.
