Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2022

[Purpletown]

Will be glad to se the back of him, under his watch the AFL has become much more Vic centric and seems less inclined to see the big picture of where the game should or could go.

SA and WA teams expected to be happy with a few scraps off the high table while big Melbourne clubs get the best of the fixtures to the detriment of others and Sydney and Brisbane clubs get a rails run at all kinds of discounted talent.

The AFL has done a good job of managing the covid issues however they are paid to deal with whatever comes up on their tenure after all. Plenty of people and organisations with far less resources have also managed equally as well.

Great news regarding Gil, does this mean his stupid brother gets stripped of all his AFL related gigs too?

 

[WaywardSonSon]

Good riddance to bad rubbish! He puts the "boys" in boys club and could not give a solitary toss about clubs from beyond the Melbourne city border (except Gold Coast, who he no doubt owns shares in!)

Man, why'd you have to go and remind me that that sh*t stain of a concept ever existed? Lol

 

[Belnakor]

So what major sponsor has the AFL just signed to a multi million dollar deal?

How long before Gil is on the board of crypto.com?

he wishes

more like sportsbet. Gil is one of the largest punters in Australia.

my gut feel is that Gill had enough of people in head office coming up with shit ideas for the preseason and said "hey guys - have at it - this year we're swinging for the fences" knowing it would be a cluster.

Old mate Gil's going!

Only so much under the table money from gambling companies you can hide before questions start being asked.
Better to get out now , kick back and enjoy the yacht and the Caymans bank account

Carlton reckon Cripps could be back for our game, I'm not sure we can win that game without Fyfe and Cripps playing the way he has. Not sure I've seen too many hammy recoveries under two weeks though...

Has Jesse Motlop debuted for the Blues yet? Keen to see how he goes. Hopefully not too good against us.

I’d rather beat them with him in then we know it’s legit .
Will be a big ask of Brodie .
Seriously wonder how Logue would go if you matched them up in the middle . Even if he could just body Cripps for the whole game it might slow their centre clearance and keep us in the game .

Did you just place Logue in the midfield, where he is to tag Cripps?

How do you stop Cripps ?
Get Serong to Piggy back on him for. 120 minutes ?

Logue can not go into the middle IMO, he's not clean or smart enough.

I'd rather just beat them, if we are missing our massive inside bull superstar, they can miss theirs, it's fair

I can't recall Fyfe ever being tagged by a key defender.

Nothings fair in love and war

Remember last time we played them how much they beat up on Serong and how ridiculous the umpiring was . ?

Logue is an athletic gorilla Defender.
You give him a job to hang off Cripps , that’s what he does best .
I’m not asking him to play as a midfielder or even be smart , I’m asking him to try and neutralise Cripps access to the ball without giving away too many free kicks .

It is unlikely to happen anyway so doesn’t warrant further discussion .
But I would love to see how JLo approaches it , because last time when he sent Serong , Brayshaw and Tucker in there it was an unmitigated disaster.
If Brodie is given the task , and even remotely achieves his goal he is a bloody hero in my books .

 

[Wilksyy]

If all it takes to neutralise Carlton is taking out Cripps than what a pathetic one-trick pony they are. They have a great spine and even without Cripps still an exceptional midfield. Not to mention two speedy half back flankers in Williams & Saad. I think being up in Gold Coast they suffered from homesickness.

I dont think North are beating Carlton without Cripps but I think it would be the difference for a team like us playing them at home. Especially as it’s their strength

Logue physically looks the perfect matchup but, considering he's never done it before, I think playing him as a midfield tagger could go ****-up pretty quickly.

Yeah it's madness.

Btw has there many bigger sniping grubs then Paddy Ryder over the years.

I remember 2012 or 13 he knocked out Mcpharlin early into a game with a cheap shot. Then the prick went onto kick the winning goal and missed 4 weeks.

Then i recall a game we sent our peel team over to Port Adelaide and Ryder was acting all tough on our youngsters.
