Opinion Non-Crows AFL 4: The Centre Cannot Hold

[GROTTO]

How much would they be kicking themselves picking Callaghan over Rachele

Imagine Greene and Rachele in the same side. Lethal.

That could have been the Giants reality.

 

[latinoheat]

Rachele looks something out of the box though, just a freak
Callaghan may be good, early days

Callaghan may be good , but they have a plethora of mids, they needed someone dynamic up forward to compliment Greene.

They’ve lost Hately (no loss) and Caldwell lately due to not giving them game time

 

[Redline]

Not that I doubt his story but Rockliff is desperate for a career in the media. I suspect he is going to be painful this season as he tries to lift his profile outside of Triple M in SA..

What story?

 

[Bay62]

What story?

Couple of pages back, that he and his kid were spat on by Blues supporters as they left the ground

 

[Slippery Pete]

What story?

Think you’ll find they were Geelong supporters, Tom.

Will the top 8 change much, as very lop-sided start to the season.

6 sides have at least a 4-1 start... & could be 7 sides if Cats beat Hawks tomorrow.

Rest of the sides may be fighting for the last spot.

I think your right. The top 8 teams are almost set.

The only changes I could see are Bulldogs getting in ahead of Carlton or Collingwood. The Gold Coast might be an outside chance but no one else has a good enough team to make a run at it.

It‘s round 5!

 

[jackster83]

Not being able to beat a top 8 team seems like a distant memory when you can't beat any team

At least they can say they haven't lost to any sides below them on the ladder.

 

[relapse]

Hopefully this is how it's playing out down at Alberton at the moment.

Melbourne v Giants

Giants are going nowhere

I watched that because I wanted to watch Melbourne.
GWS were really poor. If some of our players were as weak as theirs, our BF autopsy threads would go nuclear.
Looks like a team without any soul actually.

For the amount of top picks they have, they are a rabble
Couldn't believe Cameron got an extension last year
I can see Clarkson going there next year

 

[Gtowncrow]

Would have thought a Chinese coach was more likely...

Maybe the CCP will take care of their debt if they're allowed by Port to turn Alberton into a military base.

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Cute late night reading of the game day thread on the port board with a glass of red. They're so hard done by aren't they?

Cotchin 2k fine for kicking Tex. When you make, what 800k a year, you might as well kick an opposition player each week…seriously the system needs to change. Need the fines to be pro rata depending on salary…

Cotchin has made a career out of being a gutless sniper. His type won't be missed once he falls off the cliff with the rest of them.
I hated the Richmond years. Good riddance.

Team of champions but not a champion team.

 

[Bay62]

Team of champions but not a champion team.

Matt Rendell was predicting they’d dominate the comp for years, given the playing talent they had access to

Maybe forgot to factor in the coaching side of things…

Not sure if this has been posted but just saw it and had a chuckle....some good ones getting around.

Reckon we might have made the same mistake if we had pick 3.

 

[Rotayjay]

Port the only winless side, sitting at the bottom of the ladder ... ahhhhhhhh order has been restored to the world.

Change Marlboro to Diet Coke and it's perfect.

Which Eagles player will kick the winning goal after the siren this time? My bet's on a top up player from the WAFL.

 

[1970crow]

At the very least if you belong to a certain salary bracket.

$2k for a kid to cop is massive, not for Cotchin. He probably felt it was worth the fine.

1 unit = 10%. Cotchin fined 1 unit, we don't need to know his wage and that he pays $7k. 3rd round rookie pays $1k, which we do know.
