General AFL thread 2016

Hmmmm things getting tough for Freo. Expect Rossy to look for bigger dollars elsewhere.

Just signed for 5 years, didn't he?

In retrospect, Freo poaching him from us wasn't such a bad thing. I'm not convinced he can develop a young team.

 

[TheLonieRanger]

Sone big differences. No Libba, Dogs not backing up after a physical slog against Sydney in the wet and Clay Smith did his knee early.

We ran over the top because Dogs ran out of legs.

ah, sorry I didn't mean to quote your post. I'm a bit rusty at this. But their intensity in the first quarter reminded me of their first quarter against us

Oh. I see what you mean.

Freo are making Collingwood last night look good

Collingwood were that bad!? Gee that makes me feel good

 

[CALL ME SNAKE]

But he has a contract

contracts......Pffffft

 

[Joffaboy]

Freo's board is hilarious..............until our game starts

 

[FlyingSledghamer]

To think Bevo left hawks to come to us.
The transformation that he had on that group cant be understated.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Hope this is on in our change room. This is how to come out on a mission

 

[CHBench]

Yeah I'm holding off from laughing until our game is over, don't want to incite karma

 

[FlyingSledghamer]

Bevo, Simpson, Cameron and now Bolton.
All those ex hawkers know how to coach modern football.

We need to bring the same intensity as the Dogs
Go to stop Ports run

 

[Barrels]

Before we anoint the Dogs, just remember they were up this far against us before Billings dick-slapped them...

 

[CALL ME SNAKE]

Bevo, Simpson, Cameron and now Bolton.

Ill hold judgement on Bolton just yet. I think if Richmond had a full team in the other night they win easy.

 

[Rors]

Collingwood were that bad!? Gee that makes me feel good

Pies were shocking. Watched 98% of the game (turned it over to the Roos-Crows game near the end as scores were closer).

Pies were embarrassed by Sydney's newer players, not the gun veterans. Awesome game from Parker, Lloyd, Jack & Mitchell, with huge support from Heeney, Robinson, Zac Jones, Mills, Papley (3 goals on debut as small forward) & Dean Towers. Swans won every position on the ground, & although Treloar was Pies best player in his first game for them, he was pantsed by Parker easily.

They were woeful & Swans were very good

what a lovely morning

 

[sonnywalters]

Froe board are on your side on this one

Freo are one or two years away from a Spoon.
Lachie Neale to Crows.

Someone riddle me this. Why woldl Lyon de-list Jacob Ballard who won the Peel B & F aged 21 but keep Mzungu and Danyle Pearce on the list? It makes no logical sense. He clearly has a psychological problem with anyone under 23 and is set to grind the Freo list in to the dust - just as he did with us. It is no accident that we won the Spoon in 2014 and the same fate will befall Freo.

 

[FlyingSledghamer]

Dogs will be a force this year. They were great last year without Liba jr and a more experienced tom boyd. + Suckling.

 

[FlyingSledghamer]

Ill hold judgement on Bolton just yet. I think if Richmond had a full team in the other night they win easy.

They should be 100 points in front of carlton shouldnt they? There were good signs for carlton. Very good signs. Hes only been there for 6 months.

Yeah your entitled to your opinion mate
Its just my opinion that most people rate rnd 1 form too highly.

I dont think Carl or Melb have proven anything yet. And id be very surprised if Coll and Freo are that bad for the rest of the yr.
Not saying Bolton is a dud at all. Im just not prepared to judge him as a good coach yet after one rnd 1 match.

 

[L_W_P]

what a lovely morning

Are Freo the WA club under a drug cloud ala Collingwood?

dont think so... they wouldnt be my guess

 

[CursingFijian]

I think booing is a bit silly personally, but it is part of the pantomime type support of AFL like calling BAAAALLLLL in unison or everyone yelling ROOOOOO when he gets the ball.

Booing an individual is infantile and mob bullying. Goodes was the worst case of bullying but it was enflamed by the likes of Mahwr and Leach and Hinds who just proclaimed everyone racist.

The simplistic browbeating from these bastions of moral purity was just as distasteful as the Bullying of Goodes and yesterday the bullying of Scully.

Pantomime like his war dance?

What happened to Adam is a tragedy. I hope Riewoldt and Pavlich and Rob Murphy and others don't cop that treatment in their twilight years. I wouldn't wish it on anyone who worked as hard as Adam to carve out an illustrious career in a tough industry.

He is as great of the modern game.

 

[Joffaboy]

His war dance was an embarrassment

 

[sonnywalters]

Can we all agree that Port have no chance of winning the flag?

With no Ryder and only Lobbe in the Ruck they are stuffed.
