General AFL thread 2016

Bucks just can't coach: we all know it and have for years, it's basically only Eddie that doesn't. Their team just gets so hyped. They "win" every draft night, any player that gets recruited to them becomes even better automatically. I just hope Eddie keeps Bucks because this is glorious to see their implosion since their GF loss to the Cats.

Sacking Bucks would mean Eddie was wrong, and that is way too much of a hit to the ego. I hope they keep the faith because he's a crap coach.

But lol @ 2 top 8 picks for Treloar. It's nice to see the first club burned by future trading was Collingwood.

This is why I don't want Robert Harvey coaching us.
It would most likely end up like Collingwood-Bucks seems to be heading.

I don't agree, Banger is far more footy smart than Buckly, Voss and Hird who have all failed.
Banger for what ever reason was always a rung behind them in the media.
Don't worry how he sounds when interviewed, when talking footy in front of the boys I bet he is gold

What do you get when you cross a team playing without heart, structure and a fully complete spine with an article lacking guts, but ironically written by a bloke with a huge one?

Bucks - shut the door on your way out!!!

 

[Persevering Saint]

Imagine if Collingwood had lots of members - sponsors- the best of facilities, they could be really good

I hear they spare no expense with their medical team. Just ask Nathan Freeman.

Channel 7 hyping Rhys Stanley like he had a blinder...

9 touches, 4 marks, 3 tackles, 12 hitouts and 1.1 goals in a thumping win isn't all that impressive, particularly when you get reported during it.

Not Stanley of old he didn't come off injured in the second half

 

[Mowman]

I hope things go well for Stanley at Geelong and he has a long career there, seemed like a good bloke who just couldn't get his body right at the Saints

Gold Coast seriously going nowhere. What an awful effort in a huge quarter for them.

They may as well fold. I can't see them as a sustainable afl team.

 

[Saintt]

Could it be Eade?

When Richardson was at Port they were great, he left and .....................
Now Harvey has a similar role at the Pies and they are going....................

Petracca working hard for his rising star nomination mid 4rd quarter 23 disposals 12 contested possessions 2 goals

 

[CHBench]

Oh Gold Coast

Completely f**ked my tipping the idiots, now I desperately need Adelaide to beat the Dogs.

They've had a shocking run with injuries over the last year or two but you're right, they're a mess of a club. Even Ablett is struggling..

 

[RoundCubic]

Oh Gold Coast

That's sad if true was pretty obvious Oliver would get picked up by the Bombers if the Dees grabbed Parish

Pick 3 + pick 10 + pick 43 for 2015 pick 6 + 2016 pick 10 + 2015 pick 29 those 8 guys in Queensland must be pissed

So it's not all bad news for Collingwood today then? Although they may need to give up a bit more for him now.

That's my situation exactly! Honestly thought Suns were due to bounce back over a semi-hard Melbourne.
C'mon Adelaide! Haha

 

[Grav]

Could it be Eade?

Big chance, didn't they kick McKenna out because he was too tough on the players?
If that was the case, then it doesn't say much about Eade.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Damn, wish we went harder for Aish, looks like a gem

Needs more sarcasm alerts just in case.

 

[Tommy Wigs]

Could it be Eade?

I always found it odd when Bkuey was moved on.

 

[Choomah]

hope freo get pumped by 30 goals

Just played around with the ladder predictor for the first time in a while, and I honestly think there is a strong chance (barring a bad injury run) that we finish 9-11 this year with around 9-11 wins. There are some very average sides running around this year in the bottom half of the ladder, and the collapse of Dockers, Richmond and the Pies makes things interesting. For example to finish 10th, we would only need to be above:

Bombers;
Carlton;
Brisbane;
Gold Coast;
Richmond;
Pies;
Port;
Dockers;
Richmond

Given how much easier our draw gets this is entirely possible. None of the above sides look like winning more than 8 games apart from possibly Port.

To get to 11 wins we would only have to knock off (Bombers 2 times, Blues 2 times, Dockers at home, Lions at home, Gold Coast, Dees again & Richmond). Every one of those games is a very strong chance of a win. Even if we drop 2 of these and don't upset anybody else in the other 7 games, 9 wins will still have us finish 10th or 11th this year.

Had we not been robbed in the Hawks game and we were 3-3, I might even have suggested we are a sneaky outside chance for the 8.

Interesting watching GWS they seem to regularly fade out in the last 5-10 minutes of the quarter that is very scary for next year with another preseason
