Opinion Non-Crows AFL 7

[PCORF]

Got my Carlton tip over Gold Coast correct, had lost 8 of 9 and I still think Gold Coast are average.

Seems that the teams around us on the ladder that beat us often go on losing streaks after that.

Anyone see what Whitfield has been suspended a week for? This is why I no longer can watch AFL. It flat out stinks.

The butler one was very harsh but not this one. That sling motion has been outlawed for more than a decade

You’ve gotta be kidding me.

I thought the butler one was the perfect tackle to get suspended for, when you slam someone head into the ground.

Has anyone who's ever said they won't watch afl anymore actually stopped?

"Our midfield would be good if matches only went for 45 minutes"

Are we saying they're unfit? How are they good for 45 minutes then suddenly not good?

Know plenty who’ve done a “soft“ cancellation.

Ie - they’ve reduced their intake, or only watch their team and no other games. Stopped giving money to clubs, broadcasters etc

Our midfield is currently like a batsman who averages 35.

Makes some good scores that measure up with the best players but just not as often

Greg Blewett?

That may be true but I was responding to them being called a “leach” club..

Which, given they are tightarses and not in debt, its a bit unfair to call them..

They may be debt free but they are most definitely a "leach" club.

During 2012 to 2021 Norf were very similar to the other "leach" clubs (Saints & Bullflogs) receiving handouts from the AFL.

2012 to 2021


Things haven't changed for Norf, this year they are at the top of AFL handouts for the Vic based clubs, they get a lazy $7 million more than us just for this year.

2023


As an aside I'm not sure why Port get $4-5 million more than us a year from the AFL, we both have the same crappy stadium deal but we get the crappier timeslots and fixture.

Whose fault is that?

Whose fault is that?

Our inept leaders, Chapman and now Olsen is allowing it to happen without so much as a murmur.

Good thing I booked a hotel with free cancellation for every weekend of April and now just kept the booking for the one gather round is on..... Prices have already sky rocketed so pretty happy with myself.

This was smarter than jumping at the first prediction somebody made of the 11-14th and booking that only like I did.

Oh no that sucks, to be honest I originally did the same but a week later realised I didn't actually know when they'd have it as Easter is early next year in March and the school holidays of the Vic schools don't match up with ours, so quickly went a booked a few other weekends just in case.

That's definitely the future move.

I jumped on as soon as I saw the post today and didn't do too badly but can't imagine what it's going to look like as we get closer to the date.

Hotels will do very well out of Gather Round.

Saw this and thought..when the day comes that ray chamberlin retires ( and it can't come soon enough imo), there will be plenty of tears from crows fans..tears of joy. If his last game happens to be against us here, hoping he gets chased off the ground and out of the carpark the dirty cheat

I don’t get the hate on Ray.
Seems like a genuine bloke that cares for the game on sen and explains things well

Yeah I like Ray, I think in the last 5 years he's been great definitely don't remember any really bad Crows games he was a part of.

Number 22 is far and away the worse umpire who hates us the most. The blonde puffy hair one
