Non Lions Discussion 2024

[martinson]

The way WC is going compared to how they looked at the start of the year should give hope to everybody.

Good to see the 2024 edition of the Dees attempt to fix their forward line getting a game and hamming it up in Mcadams

There are more teams with a % of 116+ outside the 8 than in it.

That's really strange.

The teams that win the most games usually have the highest percentage because they win enough close ones against good opposition and belt inferior teams.

Clearly for whatever reason that's out the window this year.

And there is only 2 of them outside the 8.

I'm not sure if anyone watched the Melbourne game. I know we have had our woes scoring this season, but I still back us in to churn scores if we get into a bind against lesser opposition like WCE. Whereas Melbourne cannot score so can't afford to get too far behind in games.

Shows how close the season is really and no real standout other than Sydney currently.

Still scratching my head why Saints brought Ross back.

It's Gubby's revenge for all those rude comments I made about him over the years.

Not much sizzle happening there

One noticeable flaw in the graphic has the Saints as the 18th rated team in 2007….umm…not sure what the additional two teams were back then

They were so bad they were behind a couple of the VFL teams.

Pretty funny that the Crows and Saints are now the go-to club for agents to mention when trying to drive up the contract offers for their client.

Reckon both are batting at about 10% at actually getting quality players in they've been linked to - and the crows have both of them (Dawson and Rankine).

 

[mpal6]

We give this mob a leg up by taking Doedee's contract off their books and here they go trying to dump it in 30 year old Yeo's dodgy groin, calf, hamstrings. The cycle continues.

 

[joshhem]

Based on Yeo's injuries, I'm not sure I would offer him $1.3M across 3 years in total. Find that extremely hard to believe.

 

[mpal6]

Should do the 1 year and then ask for a trade back.
Make stupid offers, win stupid prizes.

St Kilda and their famous warchest have been the go-to for a while

How shite would North Melbourne supporters be feeling, if the club had been just a little smarter and better run club they would have 2 generational talents on their list right now... Harley Reid and Jason Horne-Francis.

Those 2 plus George Wardlaw and Harry Sheezel would of made a hell of a midfield quartet going forward.

Que sera sera.

I don't think they'd have had both of them.

Still, even JHF, Reid and Sheezel

So you're saying with Horne Francis in their side they still finish last and have access to said players?
If memory serves right, Sheezel was drafted with a pick from the Horne Francis trade.

Probably not, didn't fully think through my post before clicking on Post reply, I can be a silly old fool sometimes.
