Opinion Non-Crows AFL 12: It's the confectionery with 1000 uses

[Eagleboy2011]

Yesterday morning I thought the 8 was settled. I'm thinking now the Hawks will miss. Collingwood, Demons, and Lions in their last 3 matches. They will miss on percentage.

 

[cleanhands]

But not by too much, we need to preserve our percentage

 

[cleanhands]

By losing?

Nah

Well that will be disappointing. Not.

 

[treeman]

Well I can't sleep very well but already dreamt of a premiership win and Curtin doing some special things to get us over the line.

Found it interesting that Humphries from gold coast was feeling homesick after year one so the club organised him to move in with some AFLW players, he said it helped tremendously and they are like his sisters now and it was much easier to stay when it feels like you have family around you.

Things are also looking really dire on the port board... they are at rock bottom.

They have some top end talent who should be hitting their peaks. But they have too many holes in their list to be any kind of threat. With no top end draft pick this year. The problem with nwm is that he's not a need for them. They need top end bigs and small fwds to complement Georgie. Probably just need 2 or 3 pieces imho

I’m really not sure NWM is the right move for them. They’ll have to sell the farm to get him, both in terms of cap space and draft picks. I think where there list is at, they probably need to focus on getting 3-4 decent draftees in over the next couple years, to get their rebuild going, rather than spending all those picks on one star. As good as NWM is, he won’t make Port a contender.

They win 2 of those I reckon

It may not be enough. Hawks need 3 wins imho. Bullies have Melbourne, Eagles, and Freo at home. That last one is a GF for both, maybe. Percentage will come into it.

I think the loser of that Dogs Freo game misses

If Port could get up for one last game. One more backs against the wall win for Kenny.

Yeah, nah, they're getting pummelled.

They wont keep it under 100 this week.

Jezza may kick half of the 31 needed for the ton.

 

[ams4crows]

Honestly if Port can keep it to 50 points that would be like a win for us.

Geelong's percentage is gonna be a huge watch coming into the last game

Don't forget that we have Norf & Weagles still to come. Potentially both of these could boost our own percentage significantly.

 

[hugecannon]

Drafted as a forward but they've continued to play him in defence at SANFL level until recent weeks when switched forward he rattles the scoreboard big time...not great development by the Powa IMO. Elite kick and great composure right back to U18's

Didn’t he have a really solid season playing off HB for them maybe 2 years ago?

Would have thought he’d have been considered to replace Houston this year but can’t get a look in.

Yes, but we need to keep that in mind. As I see it, Geelong might get 3 big wins: I think we are far enough ahead to survive with two big wins, but it will be mandatory. So, not too much managing for me. I do worry about the players having to consider percentage though.

Melbourne v West Coast at Marvel early Saturday slot. Will it crack 15,000?

Why are there 2 overlapping Saturday twilight games? I get wanting Bris/Coll stand alone, but that's a little weird.

Also, since when do Melbourne play home games at Marvel?

There's some clause I think where all MCG tenants have to play Marvel home games. Collingwood and Richmond certainly do

Yep they each play 2 per year.

 

[Scorpus]

Shuestar13 can you explain to me Harry Edwards? Heard a few West Coast fans rating him but every time I watch, he's bloody terrible

 

[PCORF]

West Toast Eagles. Our wings are clipped.

Getting an absolute flogging right now.

 

[Redleg Crow]

We should beat the Eagles by 20 goals. Cripes they are not good
