Mega Thread Non-Freo AFL Discussion

[WaywardSonSon]

That mob up the road could well and truly be f**ked from next season if Shep retires, Darling and Kelly don’t get vaccinated and they’ve drafted everyone but an inside midfielder to go with a whole lot of 30+ about to fall off a cliff/injury prone players. Redden is now 10-12 weeks behind due to a shoulder injury, Shuey can string more than 4 games together before pulling a hammy, Nic Nat is breaking down, JK & Hurn were begged to play on another year. Fun times ahead.

"So goodbye crystal meth road, where the Chicks of society howl. We can't win any more flags now, when the Gatorade is in doubt!"

Random Post but.
Watch channel Eagle and the WA media get the orders soon..

Freo has been getting good press of late and the Eagles not so much. Just have this feeling they'll follow our weak links off the field to get something in the off season. (money is on Clark)

The s**t you hear about Nic Nat and it all gets swept under the rug..

 

[E Shed]

They’re already running a story on how WC got the steal of the draft in Bazzo.
No mention of us getting Johnson at 21.

Does LeCras coming back after one year add to the discontent at west coast rumors?

Coach has lost them mate. He's too soft on some and some senior players hate that.

Glass, Vozzo, Hickmott and Graham all gone this year, something smells up the road all right.

Whilst there has been talk about unrest at the club, the blokes you mentioned have moved on for different reasons;

Glass - contrary to popular belief, he wasn't having an affair with Hurn. Simply didn't want to take a pay cut as he got offered a plush role in the private sector.

Vozzo - on indefinite leave. Guess the pressures of COVID and managing the department during that time had a big impact on him.

Hickmott- was actually going to move a couple of years ago but stayed. Mitchell a big fan and brought him to Hawthorn. Happens a lot with new senior coaches.

Graham- told in his Collingwood interview that it was in his best interest to move clubs to learn another system. Same reason Longmuir left WCE for Collingwood.

Nobody cares. Are you lost?

You apparently.

Leave it on the Bay thanks.

Ahh yes, the old holier than thou attitude whilst posting on an opposition forum, all the while exhibiting deplorable manners on the main boards. You love to see it!

Mate, I'm posting respectfully because it's an opposition board, simple as that.

Enough of your baiting.

WaywardSonSon, other posters are allowed on here if they post respectfully and reasonably. Move on thanks

Fair enough. What am I moving on with? I'm done with him.

Admittedly much of the initial post sounds like the kind of crap you’d hear from a PR agency. I’d rather speculate on their imminent implosion thank you very much

 

[freodog]

I'm so glad to hear this. I often wondered if our goal conversion would have been as bad if he was able to stay & continue to work with our forwards.

We improved noticeably in 2020 and seemed to go backwards this year. Can only be a good thing

What the hell is a Senior Corporate Counsel?

That would be the lawyer arguing with the AFL about why their players vaccination status showing confirmed is what was required, not that the player actually was administered a suitable vaccine, negotiating that tens of millions of dollar loan to the AFL - unrelated stuff like that.

Either way he's gone from the senior football person in the admin to having nothing to do with football at all. Interesting.

 

[Paracleet]

He's been kicked upstairs to The Lords.

 

[Eski3]

Vozzo on indefinite leave late in the year before being shuffled out of the football department. Something smells

 

[greatgatsby]

Reckon 'Senior Corporate Counsel' might be a bigger job at the Eagles than at most organisations ... but I suspect it'll still mean a small office with just the regular sized pot plant.
