Opinion Non-Crows AFL 9

[Apsaalooke]

The same could be said of any club entering anywhere in Australia at this point.

Tasmania

Coach survey would be interesting, I reckon Beveridge would win hands down?

I like Ken Hinkley and want to keep coaching Port as far as the eye can see

Just as many of us supported a VFL team

Love this from a captian of a sporting team.

The Adelaide 36ers have responded to coach CJ Bruton’s departure with a pair of fiery practice sessions where captain Mitch McCarron accused teammates of “snitching” as interim Scott Ninnis drove home new standards he expects his embattled group to meet. The tumultuous week had NBL champion McCarron launching a withering salvo during Friday morning’s heated practice. “Shut the f**k up, stop f**king bitching,” McCarron roared in vision captured by Seven News. “This is why we’re in this f**king position (second bottom). “Everyone wants to f**king snitch on every other person and throw every other f**king person under the bus, “Train hard, shut the f**k up, get stops, win games, end of story.”

Well that worked out well.

Now on the bottom of the ladder.

With all their heart?

Same could be said when Crows joined the AFL & most South Australians changed allegiances.

Looking like Rozee to sign on for 8 years.

I probably agree with him, long term contracts suck but there’s not much they can do.

Love this story

We've hit rock bottom pre season BigFooty content early this year with the criticism of Damien Hardwick wearing sunglasses

It’s up there with Andrew Walker’s hat all those years ago

Most Tasmanians will jump ship immediately once they have a bona fide home team to support. IMO

P.s. I had a VFL allegiance until the moment AFC was born. Only took a heartbeat if it's still "home" in your heart

I know, which is why there is no reason a team in a place where other people already support a team (like a third WA team) would fail

It certainly makes much more sense to have another team in WA than a team in Darwin

But you're a normal person with character

Plenty of supposed South Australians stuck with a suburb of Melbourne they've never been to as their team

Not if the team has a genuine geographic identity. I'm guessing that a team based in Mandurah would attract supporters from the Peel region, which is one of the fastest growing areas in WA.

I do agree though, that a generic 3rd team based in Perth, with no ready-made identity, would be likely to struggle for supporters.

Pity about Rozee. Stupidly dreamed he might jump ship to us one day!

Good job by Port to lock up their stars.

8 years @ $1 million a season is a very big contract but with the salary cap increasing it is not as crazy as it might have been 5 years ago.

Rozee was never leaving, he’s a born and bred South Aussie. Seems an excessive contract tbh. Interesting if it impacts on keeping Butters, that’s the only genuine player they need to be worried about.

Butters recently contracted to 2026 (2 year extension)...Does that take him to free agency?

[emoji817]

a local boy that was never ever going to be a flight risk, 8 years is a ridiculous contract and commercially high-risk

AFL football is a collision sport, one injury can destroy a career and putting any player on a 8 year top end contract is stupid business

Shane Tuck took his own life after receiving repeated head knocks as a footballer and boxer. Now a coroner says the AFL must change

The coroner investigating footballer Shane Tuck's death says the AFL should limit contact training sessions to reduce the risk of concussion.

Not sure what the AFL makes of this. But seems risky it would ignored

I have a feeling had we done something similar you’d be defending it…..

Anyone else struggling to get into the Gather Round Ticketek website? You would think ticketing authorities would be aware of these issues...

Gotta love ticketek and getting timed out while paying.
