Opinion Non-Crows AFL 13: Cyclone Season

[1970crow]

Jay Clarke’s top 50, top 25 today. Few sides and 11 players missing from the wheel. Looks like Bombers 1, Gold Coast 4, Hawks 1, Roos 1 and Dogs 4. Port have 4 to our 3, with Georgiades and JHF already featuring in the 26-50. So 3 to 2 in the top 25. TT, Dawson and Rankine v Rozee and Butters.

Come the end of the season, I expect Rachele to be in, maybe Soligo if he can get up and going quickly and the heart thing was all that was wrong with him. And Woz not far away.

California is great, unless you're in LA.

Absolute dive of a place.

Agree, although I think that Woz has more of a chance than Soligo. I just don't think Soligo will go to that level.

Do you bring up old texts when having an argument with her

What’s it like living there?

Bringing up ancient history in an argument is very much the domain of the fairer sex. “And remember in 1996 when you……”

I'll take Boomer thoughts for 500 thanks Alex......

I see Soligo definitely at the level and Woz on the edge, largely due to him often being under pressure and having to rush disposal. Not at the level, I concede this, but I see a lot of Butters when Soligo is at his best. Just doesn’t seem to have been able to extend it consistently further and further into seasons.

Gen X my friend, when generations hit their peak, been downhill ever since. But it is a very newer generation thing to label everyone a bit older as a Boomer. Millennials will be called Boomers in a decade or so, so stupid are what followed X.

 

[Velvet George]

I’m just glad I can use the Jack is Back move on AFC:

“Yeah but were you there”
“How many games you go to”

 

[ams4crows]

Could North sack Clarkson before the season starts? What's he been doing all off season? Clearly not working on defence

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Imagine the absolute sheer embarrassment of being a Norf supporter....

Dovaston their only highlight. Your best forward is a 33yo Darling...

Wayne Schimmelbusch doesn’t like that idea.

They’ve missed some gettable goals, reckon they’re going not too bad in general play.

I think Larkey is a fair bit better than Darling

 

[Scorpus]

Think the main issue is this is a very weak Collingwood side

Collingwood do have an Adelaide-like injury list, plus Hill on a self imposed absence

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

North are winning most key stats, and Trembath and Dovaston look very likely types to add to their forward line.

Unfortunately for them, their defence is still VFL standard which means they'll struggle to rise above bottom 4. The game has also passed Clarkson by.

Who was the Hawks defensive coach when he coached their premierships? Clearly they were covering his deficiencies... or perhaps Fagan who did their strategy.

Could come down to who has better depth.

 

[Cromulant]

Steven May ?

Youd imagine so

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Just seems incapable of putting together any coherent structure. They may lack the personnel, but his defensive structures are a complete mess.

Not taking away anything he did at the Hawks. His cluster was pretty revolutionary, but that was nearly 20 years ago. He just seems out of ideas.

Yeah okay. I think he relied on highly skilled players cutting through opposition and I still think that applies. He had a good forward and defence though

 

[Cromulant]

Angus Anderson must be injured to not get a game in this Collingwood side

 

[Eagleboy2011]

NM beating the Pies. wow.

30 shots to 19 as well.
