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

[fuic08]

Just reading the Worpel thread, that bloke is only 26!
Moves like he's 36.

I have no expectation on making the GF.

Not saying we can't. But I see this year as a free hit after being in the Finals wilderness for 7 years.

I plan on enjoying this Finals ride.

Will be happy, and do expect to finish top 4 (most likely top 2) and win a Final.

Anything else a bonus.

Not really our time yet. A lot more improvement to come.

No expectations is a good mindset. Our form is seducing and a failure here will bust a lot of hope and expectation. I tend to agree and am happy to see how it all pans out.

So Ch 7 has just said - no thanks? We would rather replays of some shit lifestyle show?

Wow. Is that unprecedented? Seems like a massive statement about being given shit games.
The AFL have genuinely screwed the draw up very badly this year. Incompetence.

They’ve probably asked for the two decent Sunday games instead.

Kayo to get Thursday and the Wednesday game.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

That’s the reality, someone has to have a flag removed from them. And in the case of someone like Nick Riewoldt or Pav an entire team will have to have not won a flag. Which one did they deserve, who’s losing theirs?

2009 Geelong (they already had 1)

They are only allowed to show a certain number of games per weekend. They have just picked other games that mean more.

Normally they are locked into timeslots but being a floating fixture there is some flexibility.

 

[Vader]

Why not play both on the Friday to give them the same short break as opposed to giving Suns the shorter break.

Either way, you end up with both the Essendon & Gold Coast games on either Thurs or Fri.

Didn't realise Pav had the resumè to be a club CEO

Ch 7 basically had the choice of showing a game on Thursday or Saturday - but not both. For most of the season, they've opted to show the Thursday night game, leaving Foxtel with a monopoly on the Saturday games. For this one round, they've chosen to go with a Saturday game instead of the Thursday night game.

 

[Vader]

Yeah trying to work out who loses here - Channel 7 or the AFL?

Neither... Ch 7 will just show one of the Saturday games instead.

Which makes him a perfect candidate to be Freo's CEO and replace Bell...... Why would you want to employ a Freo nuffie, lives and breathes Freo based in WA but he's Sydney 's CEO now??

It is so weird seeing him in red and white with a Swans logo.

 

[FR0GGY]

On the Geelong game and our game scheduling. It's not that deep.

The most likely scenario is it was fixtured this way to allow us ample time to make it to the airport to fly back that evening. Heck, we probably even requested that.

A 4:15pm Melbourne game is acheivable still but makes it touch and go.

The long shot hypothetical that they want Geelong to know how much % they need when they may not even be on equal points as us is classic persecution complex VFL tin foil hat stuff. It's not that deep.

Surely it wouldn’t matter going into a bye?

WC fans are delighted that they wont have to listen to him in Perth media or commentating their games next year

Even I'm happy he won't be doing games, he is shit at special comments particularly if a WA side is Playing, I don't blame West Coast fans for rejoicing

 

[FR0GGY]

Word is pavlich won the job easily.
Won by his nose.

 

[Peter Doherty]

Was it Pavlich who made money investing in Pirate Life when it was starting up? Pretty sure it was all founded by Perth people.

Maybe it was Fyfe.

Yeah I think it was Fyfe, I did the brewery tour not that long ago.

Someone on here commented on Garry Lyon being so unusually complimentary towards us last Friday night.
Apparently had a serious back spasm just before the game the other night and our doctor helped him out.

It’s wonderful news We do have the “local” commentary option for most of our home games now as of this season, but it is on Channel 7 (with ads etc.). So there is an alternative. But will be great not to have to listen to him on Fox.

I’m not sure as to how qualified he is to be a CEO, but given the insular nature of the AFL industry, nothing surprises anymore.

Tom Harley?

There are 2 game scheduled on Friday so why couldn't they be both Dons & Suns to make it fair.

 

[ContrarianCrow]

Such a bullshit kick. He made an absolute meal of it and somehow it righted itself and drifted back like it was meant to be. Not a soul in Adelaide Oval thought it was going through in the first .5 seconds after it left the boot. None of Dawson's kicks had ever gone right to left before, and none have since. Even watching it again now it never looks like it has enough time to break back. Must've snuck through by millimetres.

What an amazing moment. Made up for the Monfries bounce imo.

I've watched that kick 100 times and I still think it's going to hit the post.

Can't blame them really. Not their fault the AFL keep dishing up rubbish no-one wants.
