Opinion Non-Crows AFL 4: The Centre Cannot Hold

[Geoffa32]

I reckon Stengle was a chance to get delisted if he didn't screw up off field given we preferred to play Lachie Murphy over him

This.

He was struggling with us. Didnt demand a spot with SANFL form, People forget that.

Maybe he has since cleaned up his act and one year in SANFL, even on AFL money was an eye opener for him to get his shit together.

I supported it at the time but the decision to push Stengle out is not aging well. The fact we essentially replaced him with Rowe, who looks unlikely to have a long AFL career, also adds a bit of salt to the wound.

There's no guarantee Stengle will have a long AFL career either. Richmond traded him away cheaply and his SANFL form with us wasn't demanding much senior selection. A few in here are getting a bit too carried away after one good game against witches' hats.

Too early to make that call

It wasn't a definitive statement. I said "unlikely" for a reason.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

And this is so far an early contender for game of the year.

Tom Green having an outrageous game for a 3rd year player

Must be really nice being able to pick up kids like Green and Daicos ahead of your draft position.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Will Gould still hasn't broken his way into the Swans firsts.

 

[Scorpus]

Must be really nice being able to pick up kids like Green and Daicos ahead of your draft position.

We need to start developing our F/S and academy players into guys even worth drafting at all to start with

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Christ, could you imagine Dwayne calling Buddy's 1000th?

"Drown 'em in your honey Budds!"

"CRAZY GOOD!"

Or BT next week? Hopefully Jason Bennett is calling next week's Swans vs Cats game, his commentary for Docherty's goal was perfect. Just remained silent and let the roar of the crowd tell the story.

 

[hey shorty]

Will Gould still hasn't broken his way into the Swans firsts.

Probably doesn't get a game for us either

 

[MRB37]

Will Gould still hasn't broken his way into the Swans firsts.

He's rapidly turning into their version of Harrison Wigg for me. COVID probably results in him getting a game at some point this year, but he's certainly not lining up to be the sure thing many thought at the time of his drafting.

 

[Peter Doherty]

Port Power paying $3.18 tonight, that seems way too high.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Look, I’m going to cop heat for posting this, but who gives a sh*t. Let’s go.

There are people, many people I could list, running around in the AFL industry who have done things eons worse than what Tom Morris did.

Want me to name one right off the bat? How about Marlion Pickett?

How do we arrive at a point where calling someone a lesbian in a group chat, is worse than being an ex-con?

Don’t come at me with all your bullshit platitudes about how Tom should’ve known better. Just address the point at hand.

Why have thoughtcrimes leapfrogged actual crimes in polite society?

It would be a massive HR issue for Fox. The woman he spoke about ( and other female colleagues ) are likely to be uncomfortable working with him now.
Even if you don’t think what he said was THAT bad, his position there was untenable.

 

[Peter Doherty]

Logan McDonald injured? 0 touches to half time.

 

[Mutineer]

For those interested Taranto going at 50% Disposal efficiency, 5 turnovers and leading the clanger count for both teams

 

[Scorpus]

Logan McDonald injured? 0 touches to half time.

No he's been out there the whole time

 

[1970crow]

Yes. We go softer on him because (potential) talent, he doesn't get the message, potential not realised. We go hard, he refuses the offer... reality bites. Maybe it sucks that Geelong are the beneficiaries (assuming he stays on the straight & narrow), but that's not a reason to assume we shouldn't have done what we did, in a genuine effort to straighten him out.

Nah, a full season suspension for a second strike that if detected under the AFL surveillance policy would yield 4 games was massive overkill. We stuffed up, and it's not surprising, optics have always been favoured over performance at our club. We lead the league in internal player punishment.

 

[1970crow]

He will likely never acknowledge it, but us sacking him could potentially have saved his life.

He was likely going down a dark path if he stayed and continued with his lifestyle.

Yeh, racking up some lines with mates is life threatening. He'd be one of 75% of our list that rack lines, grow up.

Might be a reason Cameron talked of pushing him more to the forward line.

Hanging out with the type of people he did here would've led to nothing good
