Opinion Non-Crows AFL 4: The Centre Cannot Hold

[Mutineer]

 

[GameofSloanes]

Absolutely correct, the big 6 in the EPL can get an extra $100 million a year too if they finish in the top 4 and play champions league. This is why teams like Tottenham and Arsenal are angry as if Newcastle start rising up the ladder, they will lose out big time.
they won’t have the extra money to pay higher wages and entice the better players to their club. I love watching soccer but it’s the have or have nots that’s the biggest issue.

Its not the amount of money, it's how you use it. Everton for example has spent more on transfers in the last 5 years than Liverpool

That's what my wife says....oh wait I misread that

Yes of course. But money gives you more opportunities.

Transfer fees are a small part of the overall equation. Liverpool pay near on double the amount Everton do on player wages annually.

So Jay Rantall signs at Norwood. From vague memory there were a few keen on him here. Anyone know why he didn't kick on at Collingwood?

Same leg ....assume a fracture to the same facture that stopped Pendleberry's 2021 season .....that's not a good sign

Covid is very unhelpful for any players drafted to a Victorian club in the last couple of years under the Andrews Government lockdowns , at least the SA and WA drafted players had more opportunities to play SANFL/WAFL. Can play, elite endurance and find the ball in bunches. Ned Cahill another that can play would be a handy get for a SA club too, both quite capable of forcing their way back onto an AFL list IMO.

certainly can’t be accused of resting on his laurels.
On his first day back at training the Demons defensive gun pushed himself to the limit, fainting during a running session in hot and humid conditions at Casey Fields.

Medical staff surrounded Lever for 15 minutes as he sat on the far side of the ground.

He was responsive to questions from the club doctor and eventually got to his feet, walking unassisted to the changerooms.

That's a pretty good way to get out of a training session

Adelaide's Melbourne’s first round recruit Laurence Angwin premiership hero Jake Lever certainly can’t be accused of resting on his laurels.
On his first day back at training the Demons defensive athletic gun pushed himself to the limit, fainting during a running session in hot and humid conditions at Football Park Casey Fields.

Medical staff surrounded Angwin Lever for 15 minutes as he sat on the far side of the ground.

He was responsive to questions from the club doctor and eventually got to his feet, walking unassisted to the changerooms.

It's all about context.

....then lose an additional 2 x A-Graders in Sheppard and Venables a long way off retirement

That's effectively 3 x A-Graders missing from West Coast's list ...completely unforseen, but with 2-3 WC players set to retire at the end of 2022, puts paid to any flag hopes for 5 years

Can't plan for this ....and Kelly has been underwhelming for his price .....another to revell in the comfort of a large longterm contract

 

[WaynesWorld19]

There's been all this blurb about not enough umpires in the game at all levels .....yes they've tried to improve conditions for umpires via treatment from players and fans

But if I wanted to be an umpire, I wouldn't have a clue where to start .....the game has basically said "come find us"

At last a bit of publicity .....I hope this is not the last, and the AFL & state leagues get off their arse & do something ....and hopefully we'll see George Kramer and Sanders in the whites very soon

Good work on slipping Andrews in there as a cause of your boy not making it

No. But do please keep us updated on your own journey

at least he puts it out there, something you could learn from.

Not sure you can call Venables an A grader.

Think the biggest issue with West Coach is the squad looks jaded with Simpson... because they still have one of the most talented lists
