Opinion Non-Crows AFL 4: The Centre Cannot Hold

[Kane McGoodwin]

Rioli getting off and Robinson banned makes absolutely zero sense

Is Christian still in charge of this process?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Ash Barty just announced her retirement at 25, World number 1 and Current Australian Open and Wimbledon champion.

I'm in shock and a little sad but my god do I respect it.

What are the odds on her making a comeback in a couple of years.... as she still young.

She may be thinking of little Barty’s

She may be thinking of little Barty’s

Good for her.

She took a beak before when she took uo cricket... so I reckon there is a good chance she may do the same in a few years... perhaps after some kids.

Or a new sport, believe a very handy golfer

Crows should get on the phone and ask her

She wants to stay in Australia so it'd only be domestic sport. I think she might already be Prego so I'm sure raising a family and being around for it is super important to her.

She can just play the Australian Open...

Or she may take up playing for her Tigers.

 

[Bearded Clam]

Don't blame her.

I often think it makes sense to stop playing professional high dollar value sports early. Then do what you want for the rest of your life.


$30m sets your family up for generations.

$30 mill?… and the rest. $30 million is just match earnings… gotta add sponsorship and endorsements coin on top of that.. so at least double or even triple it!…

 

[spenze]

I believe the AFL

What are the odds on her making a comeback in a couple of years.... as she still young.

What are the odds she has 50 million and thinks "I can just live"?

It sucks, she was my favourite, a real champ but I'd love to see her quit, stay quit and just enjoy life...

 

[spenze]

Think the saddest thing is, I am not alone in thinking she could have won a grand slam. Going to be hard to explain to youngsters in 15 years how good she was and be believed..."she could be about to play a Grand slam and she'd go and watch her team play knocking back pints"

Her legend will be great in 30 years

She chose her time well.

Total weeks at No. 1: Ashleigh Barty - 119

I know a lot are thinking it but won’t post it.......David MacKay .....sorry

 

[Klug]

I think it might be more about opening X amount of sections rather than a sell out.

I would expect 50-60k

So yes more might be available later

I will be amazed if they crack 45k.

Minor round Crows games rarely break 40k at the G, even against Rich, Cwd, Carlton.

Don’t think it was a retirement, but I remember Leon Davis made All Australian and then got delisted with no other club picking him up.

Fun Fact.

Its been a few years since we have been able to have "proper" crowds at games in Victoria, the fact that Pies won R1 and Crows narrowly lost, I expect around 40k to be at the game.

Hey, we can't be on here 24 hours a day...

 

[dogs105]

Hey, we can't be on here 24 hours a day...

You don't need more than 7 hours of sleep, so I expect to see you on here at least 17 hours a day. So that's um... 7 * 17 = 119 hours please.
