Roast IF it isn't biased or ncompetent..... THEN it must be inciteful media coverage part II

[Chris_6678]

Ohhhh look at that handball out of congestion! best thing to go watch!

 

[kane249]

Steele's a great player, but he's hardly exciting. Don't get me started on Cunnington.

I guess you could say like other aspects of Dal Santo's life, his list comes up a bit short

, peak Eddie Betts, Lewis Jetta obliterating defenses one kick at a time, these are the guys I pay to watch.

 

[FKASC]

He chose Cunnington because he misses a lot of footy to injury, and NDS doesn’t like paying

 

[Matera92]

No NicNat? You'd have to assume Dal Sandwich thinks it's too expensive to get over here for a footy match.

Dal Santo strikes me as the kind of guy who'd go to an event with an open bar and would order water.

 

[shooshka]

Steele's a great player, but he's hardly exciting. Don't get me started on Cunnington.

Even Whitfield.

3 players on that list who are nowhere near the top for creating excitement for fans.

Pendlebury is probably lucky too. Great player, but wouldn't be one I'd pick to put bums on seats.

[MrKK]

There’s an unhealthy amount of pressure/attention directed to the number 1 draft pick. If I’m north not only am I bidding on daicos to force Collingwood to pay the maximum price for him but to also direct all that attention away from Horne-Francis

This was a big factor in Adelaide bidding on Ugle-Hagan last year. Look at how much media spotlight is on him, whilst they quietly develop the guy they were always getting in Thilthorpe.

North are in a different financial position from the Crows though. They might prefer having a number one pick they can trumpet to fans in order to get them to buy memberships, an issue that Adelaide wouldn’t have had to worry about.

Surely not.

Like either way they will get Horne-Francis, how many people will be throwing cash at Norf just because he went at 1 vs 2 (or, ideally 3 cos they bid on Darcy too)?

Yeah I dunno, it’s their first number 1 pick ever. I’m sure there’s some marketing value in that, but god only knows how much it’d be.

I remember attending Jack Watts' first game.

No 18 Year old should have to go through the same ridiculous attention that was heaped on him before he ran out onto the ground.

They owe it to the rest of the clubs to bid on those 2 just for the sake of integrity.

Why is it being reported that Bobby Hill wants to be traded 'back' to Melbourne for compassionate reasons? Isn't he Western Australian?

Because Victoria.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Suggested here before but he supposedly has a lot of family in Melbourne.

 

[Campaigner for good]

Thanks. That helps with compassionate... Still baffled on 'back'. At any rate nominating essendon is really not helping your former team.

2020'S DRAFTEES RE-RANKED: Who bolts up the order, who slides?

Some players from the 2020 draft class shone this season, but others took a while to get going

www.afl.com.au

Winder pick 11
Luke Edwards pick 30

A weird and very flawed way to rank them

It's just last year's draft class listed by average CD ranking points. More a sign that there's no content in the off-season right now than any incompetence.

Mike Sheehan’s best rookie pick of all time.

Wait for it.

Who is the best AFL player that came through the rookie draft? — SEN

“Only 4 per cent of rookies will play 200 games, he played 240.”

apple.news

Interesting choice and justification by Sheehan.

Would have though Cox’ All Australian selections and Priddis’ Brownlow would have had them in the front by a nose (obligatory Melbourne Cup) reference.

That’s not to take anything away from Kirk’s great career but I think Sheehan got this one wrong.

He's not always gonna get it right, and sometimes, you're not going to agree with him.

Sheehan also seems to think he's a dual premiership player.

 

[ep2018]

Cox is the greatest ruckman of the modern era. Kirk oozed leadership and was a premiership co-captain but that's about it.

 

[Campaigner for good]

I mean it is subjective so I'm not sure I'm frustrated by it. Having said that Cox win on games played (if that's the metric) but also is recognises as one of the best ruckman of all time. Sheesh even McGovern has 4 AA jumpers to Kirk's one.
