Non Lions Discussion 2024

[martinson]

I thought he ran a bit too far because he didn't have a left foot.

But most times you'd let that go.

 

[luthor]

DeGoey puts the Pies up by 4 then the umpires make a blunder that robs their opponent of their last roll of the dice… sounds familiar somehow.

I think the theory that the umpire missed the first bounce by Rankine has merit.

Otherwise it really was a red hot call.

 

[Helicon1]

He'd need a time machine

he proves you wrong.

 

[Nathan Barley]

he proves you wrong.

He can still be good but Rankine right now is better than Charlie has ever been

 

[Nunez]

He can still be good but Rankine right now is better than Charlie has ever been

What?

 

[Nathan Barley]

What?

Maybe late 2021 Charlie but Rankine is getting dangerous in the midfield and still kicking 2-3.

If Rankine can keep up his form then I'd definitely think there's a case to be made, but his inconsistencies is what holds him back from putting him in Charlie's level at his peak. Loads of talent, just a matter of whether he can find consistency.

 

[Jivlain]

Has our goalkicking coach taken a side gig with the Dogs?

That is correct but irrelevant to the discussion. The original post was wanting Charlie to do what Rankine is doing know not his form over the past several years

 

[Dalions]

As much as it sucks that Collingwood won that game.
It is probably the ideal result for us.

The same could be said for any of our out of form players in comparison to in form players.

 

[Tom14]

Why are we comparing Rankine and Charlie? Playing totally different roles.

Charlie's been consistently the best pure small forward in the last five years - or second if you count Toby Greene

who I'd call medium.

Rankine's been awesome playing the mid-forward role.

 

[BRAB]

People need to stop comparing our players to guns like Rankine, Reid and Gunston. Comparison is the thief of joy

 

[Helicon1]

I’d firmly disagree with that.

 

[Nunez]

I’d firmly disagree with that.

Rankine is better than Charlie and Lester is better than Rankine. It's not really up for debate.

I made a comment after Rankines cracker today that I hope Charlie’s watching and thinking, I can do better than that. Big round for the indigenous boys, hoping Charles puts on a show for us.

Yeah, just stick to glorifying our ex's like Keays and Hinge and ?

I believe there is merit in what Nathan Barley is saying.

Rankine starting to have more impact on a game than Cameron. He was put into the midfield in that second half and was instrumental in Adelaide almost winning that game.

Cameron benefits from the midfield getting him the ball. Rankine was having a N.Daicos like game, directing the game for the Crows, while still being a threat in forward 50.

They don't play the same role though. Would say a comparison with Bailey is more appropriate than with Cameron.

man i'm glad i'm not watching this doggies giants match. that scoreline hurts

Trust me, it's as bad as it looks.

If I'm reading the game stats correctly on the AFL site, they hit the post 6 times..

I estimate that 3 is our weekly quota so they've got us covered

Probably wanted Giants and Saints to win today; oh well…still plenty of time to reign then in.

 

[M Malice]

What would top off a very enjoyable weekend of footy today would be a Waalitj Marawar win this afternoon.

Or even seeing West Coast win
