Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion 2025

[Deathly]

Any chance of an Eagles comeback here?

 

[Schauermann]

Plan B - can the Eagles go full Andrew Gaff and knock a few of them out for us?

Especially if that fuels a few retalition strikes...

 

[PrancingPony]

Comeback is on!!!

 

[Randomizor]

Crazy to think that for the new generation of AFL supporters, to describe how bad Fitzroy were then all you have to say is:

“You remember the Eagles in the 2020s? That bad”

 

[PrancingPony]

Also unrelated but wow Hard Rated really nailed it with the Orange flavour, that's amazing.

A loss to the Swans next week will mean they actually have the worst winning record in a season since 1964.

Fitzroy in 96 and GWS in 13 played 22 games for there 1 win

West coast will have played 23 so they will eclipse them.

When will our club be as ruthless as the Bulldogs? We are a bunch of choir boys in comparison to the Bulldogs and Cats.

Bontempelli on Fremantle:

"They've been really good all season so we're going to have to work hard and lift our game to compete with them"

I wouldn't be surprised if Victorian clubs just looked at the win loss record and went "15 wins? They'll be tough."

Outside of when they play us I don't think anyone in Victoria thinks about us.

Backing Owies to lift in the second half

What a depressing weekend of footy.

There's always next week.

What a depressing weekend of footy.

Literally couldn’t have gone worse… we lost, and everyone we’re competing for a top 8 spot with won.

 

[Pivot Piece]

We exist to provide comic relief for Victorians

They dont even care enough about us to get any comic relief from it

Oh no you don't bunt. We are the underdogs in this game.

So NWM is leaning towards Adelaide now huh….**** all of our lives

Two things stand out here.

One, free agency is really the good teams get better (I know Adelaide lost Danger effectively via the existance of FA) - no one is going to go to a basketcase when there is another choice for almost as much money.

Two, I remember a lot of people on our board rubbishing comparisons to Adelaide and Nicks in particular over the last couple of years. Intersting where the two clubs are at now.

Yeah it’s scary prospect , especially with Sid Draper still in the sheds

 

[ImperialPurple]

There's always next week year.

Fixed.

 

[FreoRicci]

I’ll never forgive them for getting slaughtered by the Hawks last year.

Played JUH. Big reason.

 

[The Feeder Club]

Rankine under investigation for a homophobic slur against a Collingwood player. That'll be his finals series gone if proven.
