Opinion Non-Crows AFL 7

[FR0GGY]

So no Thursday night football until round 13, WTF!!!!! Why the gap and then return for winter??

Bloody stupid

 

[Bearded Clam]

Bit his tounge in half.... Wonder if he plays Next week?

Your tongue heals extremely quickly.. should be good to go in a couple of days.

he needs surgery, so you would imagine he doesnt play

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Interesting reverse percentage after 5 rounds...

1 Hawks 59.6 - expected spooner & surely we break the Tassie hoodoo & pump them next week.

2 West Coast 74.5 - I was wrong on them being better this year. Surely Simpson should move on as stale.

3 Gold Coast 75.1 - thought they may make finals this year. I doubt it & surely Dew goes.

4 Bulldogs 76.8 - Once again underachieving. Like Simpson, Beveridge has been there too long.

5 Kangaroos 77.5 - about where I expected & no longer worst team.

I know the Crows had some decent flogging’s in the SANFL when the injury list was bad a few years ago but jeez nothing like this from the poor WAFL Eagles…

Annoying that this is pretty much one of the main reasons the National reserve league hasn’t been/won’t be brought in

I wonder if you go a mix.

Start with what the SANFL forced on the Crows. Your top up players are ammo players.

Then if injuries/suspension do hit

Go with what Sydney did 15+ years ago. Top up with state u18 squad.

Sure, that means players can play for multiple teams. But at least they're talented, and it can help recruiters see how these players play against men (Which they can't in Melbourne.)

 

[Moonwatcher]

Yep we ****ed that one up, imagine him in our midfield now

We wanted to keep him, he chose to leave.

 

[Dirty Bird]

I can’t understand why they aren’t a permanent fixture, must be a ratings hit

Networks love them
Players hate them due to 5 day breaks.

It's why I feel they need to change the structure of the fixture

Thursday Night
Friday Night (6pm Eastern)
Friday Night (9pm Eastern - Brisbane early on, Adelaide/Perth thereafter)
Saturday Afternoon (Exclusive to MCG and all-victorian games)
Saturday Twilight
Saturday Night Saturday Night (Interstate)
Sunday Afternoon
Sunday Twilight

The only overlapping game is Saturday Night under this plan.

I don't recall Hinkley being upset and outraged when his supporterbase were throwing bananas at Aboriginal players. STFU you moron.

False equivalence. Going in to bat for a young player facing booing every week, and obviously being a rock for him during game day, is not something to criticise.

Hinkley has many flaws, but the way he has been the protective barrier for JHF is admirable.

 

[Cleric]

Yeah I love Eddie but most of the times when he speaks about us it feels like it's a bit forced positive/obligatory just to not upset a huge fan base. Hopefully I'm wrong and reading into things a bit much.

Yeah, I think he is a little ungrateful, or just can't move on from the camp.
He was sending a message with that scarf.
He was in Adelaide, at the AO, where Adelaide was playing Carlton, and he wore a Carlton scarf.
Definitely a deliberate mive, and everyone watching that would have thought the same thing.

I know a guy who is quite in with Carlton. When Eddie left Carlton to come to us he cried because he didn't want to leave. This guy spoke to Eddie after he had signed to us and he told him that he begged Carlton to just offer him a little bit more and he would stay. I think either he only wanted 30k a year more, or that he would stay for 30k less than we offered him, can't remember exactly.
But he never wanted to leave, and was hurt by them because they just did not value him.

 

[Rotayjay]

'Let’s start with this self-evident fact: Kane Cornes is footy’s biggest hypocrite, and it’s totally deliberate. His entire shtick is to say polarising things and get everyone up in arms against him, all while clinging to the faintest vestige of reasonableness to prevent people from tuning out.'

Six Points: 2023's biggest umpiring farce, Kelli Underwood's commentary, and was Gather Round really THAT good?

Gather Round is done! For the first time since, well, COVID, the AFL was a distinctly non-Victorian entity, as the league packed up and…

Not all past players are going to go for us. Asking Eddie to not wear a Carlton Scarfe for our game is like asking Scott Hodges to not be a Power fan. Eddie no doubt looks back at his time in Adelaide with fond memories. He made a lot of friends. The camp doesn't play on his mind as much as we think it does. It was only a chapter in his book and he hasn't talked about it since.

I dont understand the JHF booing. I don't get it. He hasn't done anything wrong. The blame lies fairly and squarely at the feet of North Melbourne for his treatment. They treated him like he should feel grateful for being drafted by them rather than the number one pick. They new as soon as he was drafted that he didnt want to be there and they treated him poorly. Boo the Kangaroos. Biggest waste of space club in the AFL and the sooner they are removed from the competition the better the comp will be.

He also had an Adelaide scarf and even a Power scarf. Mark Rucciuto wore a Power scarf last year.

None of this means anything.

Cooor... I've had a few hard luck stories this year, but this is just... ugh!

Apparently he went across to say g’day to the Crows supporter group. He’s a good bloke is Eddie.

Was only a week or two ago Eddie was talking about how Silvers and co from AFC had been keeping in touch with him, how many friends he still has here and how he'd be happy for his kids to play at Adelaide. I wouldn't read anything into it

 

[Barneythecrab]

so the booing started last year then?so the booing started last

Incorrect post, the biggest reason I would boo. In relation to the Goldstein situation

 

[Greenfinger]

I come back regularly... why are you offended that most business close very early in adelaide?

It’s simply not the case. That was a 90s joke and true at that time . Things have changed significantly since then.

 

[StonesThrow]

It feels like everyone is winning at the moment.

Say what?

A $5 multi paying $12,500 was lost on a review where Owen's shot on goal nicked the flag holder on the back of the post. What bullshit Your multi or someone else's ?

It never gets old and never stops being funny.

The more you tell people not to boo JHF, the more they will bop JHF.

And why hasn't Ken told his fans to stop booing Tex every time he touches the ball? It's been happening the last 10 years and king Ken hasn't said a thing.

Ironically if it wasn't for one of their own media mans carry on (Kane Cornes) this wouldn't be happening.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

I thought they were booing Saad at one stage too, but apparently they were doing a woof or something because of his kick.

Yeah that's the Carlton fans doing the same thing they did with Christou, hilarious when they do it when Saad does yet another sideways kick from a kick in that achieves nothing. And Saad shouldn't be anywhere near a comparison to Christou.
